We all have our reasons for dancing. Some of us can’t help ourselves because our bodies just automatically start moving to rhythms…it is an occurrence that just happens naturally and uncontrollably. Others come to dance by sheer accident and, when finding it, discover dancing is the missing piece that simply makes life worth living. If you know why you have decided to take your first Salsa or Swing dance lesson, or if you jump up when the music comes on but are still waiting to formally learn to Country Two-Step or Tango dance, then maybe we can help you find your reason today.

Below are some quotes by famous people and famous dancers who, like you, also love to dance. We here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona simply love to dance. We also love to help others to become great social dancers. If you have not started your dancing journey yet, we hope that one of the quotes below will inspire you to begin taking dance lessons now. We have a one-hour New Student Offer waiting for you to take advantage of, once you are ready. 🙂 Find your reason and start dancing today!
