Enjoy Life and Ballroom Dance!
Have you ever thought about trying a new hobby? What about challenging yourself physically, mentally and even emotionally? Did you know that learning social ballroom dances like Swing, Country Two Step, Salsa and Argentine Tango can offer a new hobby, a challenge, romance and more? It’s completely true! Over the past 13 years, we at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona have watched thousands of couples and singles transform before our eyes through the power of dance. What makes learning to become a confident social dancer life-changing? Let us explain…
1. Confidence spreads. Learning to Latin dance or Swing dance does not necessarily come easy to most adults who have never tried social partner dancing before. It’s something that you tend to watch others enjoy out socially with envy. “Wow, I wish I could look that sexy on the dance floor. If only I knew how to be a great leader on the dance floor like you. How does he do that cool stuff?” Well, once you learn to become a great social dancer through a series of private dance lessons, your confidence will soon soar. You will have a hobby that very few people can do well, but that everyone wants to know. Dancing in Country bars or Tango clubs is an empowering and rejuvenating way to spend an evening. You will have others want to be like you and that is a wonderful confidence-builder! Before long, we have seen the shy and “meek” change into strong and self-assured individuals, all after learning to be a great social dancer.
2. Dancing adds romance. If your relationship needs re-kindling, there’s nothing more exciting than a ballroom dance lesson to help you to re-connect. With more romance in your life, you are sure tho not only live a longer, happier life, but you will have someone special to share it with. For singles who have a new found confidence through ballroom dancing, finding romantic connections is that much easier. What woman doesn’t want to be swept off of her feet and what guy wouldn’t enjoy a woman who moves with poise and certainty.
3. Dancing is relaxing. Why belly up to a bar when you can relieve stress in your dance lessons. Not only can you focus solely one just one thing when you are in a dance lesson, but dancing is going to raise your heart rate, putting you in a better frame of mind by the time your hour-long lesson is through.
Enjoy learning to become a comfortable and confident social dancer with us at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. We are near Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert in the Phoenix East Valley. In each dance lesson you have here at Dance FX Studios, you will grow into a great dancer that will open up new doors and possibilities. Are you ready to enhance your life?

Staying Fit for the Holidays with Social Ballroom Dance Lessons
Stuffing, pies, candies, roasts, rolls and so many more holiday dishes tempt us throughout the holiday season. No matter what holidays you and your loved ones celebrate, chances are there are a few traditional dishes that you look forward to every year. Sometimes, the holidays serve as an excuse to eat absurd amounts of food and satisfy our sedentary side by relaxing with friends and family. Exercising and routines fall to the wayside this time of year when traditions, traveling, and feasting take over. By the time the New Year rolls around, we might find ourselves swearing off the lifestyle we’ve embraced of less than ideal diet and exercise routines. This year, join us at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona and you won’t be regretful of what you eat. Yes, you can break the cycle and take ballroom dance lessons as a couple or just for you! The only fitness resolution for the new year that you’ll be making is to stick with dance lessons all year long. Whether you see yourself dancing the sensual Argentine Tango with your partner, doing the Country Two Step at a local Phoenix Country bar, or Swing dancing to your favorite oldies, stay active this holiday season and ring in the New Year with a new hobby – social ballroom dancing! If you’ve never taken a lesson with us before, take advantage of our $40 introductory lesson offer in which you can learn a few basics of dancing and sample some styles if you’re not sure which dance(s) you’re interested in.
Ballroom dancing with us at Dance FX Studios here in Phoenix can enhance your life in so many ways – by boosting your self-confidence, improving your balance and coordination, relieving stress and more! One of the most important benefits of dancing (at least this time of year) is the great exercise it provides. Treadmills can be boring, cycling can get intense and lifting weights at the gym might not be very appealing, but dancing is a challenging, FUN way to get moving! Chances are your body is not used to moving in the many directions and ways that dancing requires it to. Moving backwards, side stepping, leading your partner in many directions – they’re all advantageous for your body! You will work muscles you didn’t know you had, or maybe ones you just haven’t used since before Halloween!
In addition to the toning dance lessons can provide, you can break a sweat and burn off the holiday cookies you’ve been indulging in! Each type of dance offers different movements and tempos and, therefore, burns a certain range of calories. For example, Salsa dancing for an hour can burn up to 480 calories! Country Western styles like the Country Swing and Country Waltz can get you moving and use between 290 to 420 calories, depending on the speed and difficulty of the moves. In every hour-long lesson of learning to dance the Cha Cha, anywhere from 260 to 530 calories can be burned- yeah to Latin dancing!. Zumba fitness classes are specifically geared for exercise and can use up to 650 calories! That’s definitely a few cookies’ worth.
While one lesson alone won’t lead to a fit you, regular lessons will definitely exhibit results! With our Holiday Savings Event, Introductory Offer and Zumba membership deals, we can help you kick up your heels this holiday season while reaping the many benefits of dance. Find yourself dancing into 2014 with joy!
One Size Does NOT Fit All!
Congratulations! You are finally ready (after years of successfully talking yourself out of it) to give dance lessons a try. Now comes the tricky part…How do I find the right studio for me (us)? Not all dance studios in Arizona, or anywhere for that matter, are alike. Here are a few things to consider when looking for the right dance studio for you:
Clarify Your Own Dancing Goals First: Are you looking to become a competitive ballroom dancer or a confident social dancer? Maybe you would like to be both. Most people want to do one or the other so be sure to figure out what would fit best into your lifestyle before beginning the research process. To clarify, competitive ballroom dancing looks more like what you may find on “Dancing With The Stars”. The movements are generally very large and showy. Social dancing is what you will use if you are at a wedding, in a bar, on a cruise or at a dance club. It requires learning small movements that you can take to a crowded dance floor comfortably. Do your research on all of the local ballroom dance studios in your area once you know your ultimate goal on the dance floor. Ask questions or research the websites of these local studios to see if your particular needs will be met by the concept of that studio. You may also want to visit the dance studio to watch a few lessons and see if you feel comfortable in the atmosphere. Researching testimonials online from others who have taken lessons at that particular location are also useful.
Try an Introductory Private Lesson: Another wonderful way to see if a particular Phoenix dance studio is right for you is to go in for a sampler dance lesson. A private dance lesson will give you the one-on-one instruction needed to see not only the style of instruction offered, but your instructor’s teaching philosophy and the overall feel of the environment. Meeting with your instructor and getting a feel for the culture of your local dance studio is invaluable. Warning! Beware of dance studios in Arizona that offer really cheap introductory “specials”, maybe even free sampler lessons, to get started. Learning to dance is an investment and there are no shortcuts. Inevitably, you will be asked to pay the going rate for ballroom dance lessons when you are taking private dance lessons and being misled only ends up with a frustrating experience.
Dance lessons are a exciting experience for both couples and singles as long as you find the right learning environment. All too often, people give up on learning to dance because of a negative experience that has squashed their desire. If you determine that social dancing is for you, you will be in great hands at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. We provide an encouraging and supportive learning atmosphere that can make a dancer out of anyone. Discover more about our Introductory Offer and how you can get started on your journey to becoming a confident social dancer with us at Dance FX Studios today!
