Top Three Dance Styles for Your First Dance in Arizona

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc06070So you and your partner have decided to tie the knot. Congratulations! We know how hard it can be to put together a wedding, no matter how much time you have before the big day.  We want to help take away some of your wedding stress by creating a first dance custom fit for your personalities, style and wedding theme. At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we want work with you to create a beautiful  wedding routine that looks exactly how you imagined. If your big day is going to be shabby chic themed, a rustic Country Wedding Dance may be just what you’re wanting. Or maybe you are going to be the belle of the ball. We can choreograph a fairy tale first dance that takes everyone’s breath away.

For those of you Arizona brides and grooms who don’t like to do things too extravagantly, our Sweet and Simple first dances are perfect for you.  Once you and your fiancé pick out the song you would like your first dance be danced to, you can decide if this is the style that best suits what you imagined. Although we don’t like to choreograph wedding dances that consist of just swaying back and forth, we can definitely put first dance together for you that is easy and elegant, without compromising how it looks.

Let’s say you and your partner are a spunky and fun type of couple. The best thing we think you can do is shock your guests with what we call a Rock Your Reception Wedding Dance! You two can start off doing a slow swaying dance to a stereotypical wedding song. Everyone in the audience will head to the open bar while checking their phones, but wait! When they are least expecting it, you bust out into a fast and upbeat Swing or Salsa dance and knock their socks off!  You can really show off, and best of all, your friends and family will be talking about your first dance for months to come!

For a Cinderella first dance that will have him sweeping you off of your feet,  a traditional and classic wedding dance routine will fit you perfectly. You probably already have your song picked out, and we can bring that song to life and give your guests a memory to treasure forever.

Our incredible dance instructors are trained to customize your wedding routine to fit you and your spouse perfectly. Once you come in for your Wedding Dance Consultation, you will see how we can create a dance that is exactly how you imagined as a little girl. All the stress from planning your wedding will fall off your shoulders when the two of you are dancing together.

It doesn’t matter which style you choose. You can even mix any of the above together. The point is that you have an experience that will leave you smiling for years to come. We at Dance FX Studios can assure you of that when you come to us for Wedding Dance Lessons.

Wedding Dance Lessons to Make You Shine

/in /by

wedding dance lessons in ArizonaWe passed through the winter holidays and cupids big day of love – Valentine’s Day and you found yourself engaged! Congratulations!  As the wedding approaches and you go through your check list fulfilling each big detail: your bridal party, booking venues, finding the perfect wedding dress and tux, flowers, music, food, cake and more, the thoughts about details like the wedding ceremony and reception activities come into play.

Often completely forgotten is the first dance, a romantic moment the newly married couple shares with all their friends and family. I remember when I got married. The wedding planner simply said “Okay, then you will do the Father-Daughter, Mother-Son and your first dance, after that bridal party joins in …” etcetera. The most my fiancée and I did to prepare for our wedding dance was pick “our song” and, like billions of other newly married couples across the world, we wowed our guests attention for maybe ten seconds while we performed something appropriately termed the “prom sway”.  Looking back and comparing it to the Rock Your Reception videos that we have displayed on the Dance FX Studios’ website, it was typical, boring and nothing that anyone seems to remember.

When I watch the choreographed performances of the brides and grooms in the Rock Your Reception video, the thing that captured my attention, aside from the awesome dancing of the brides and grooms, was their family and friends who are circled around them. All eyes are locked on the couple, thrilled with the unbelievable dance they are viewing, they enthusiastically clap, cheer and route them on!

Now ask yourself: why do the “prom sway” when you can kick off the night with an unexpected wedding dance? Touch your guests with a highly romantic, traditional dance that busts out into a tantalizing Tango, some spicy Salsa, cool moves Country Two-Step or sizzling Swing!

We have done it all here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. Our talented instructors and choreographers will listen to your ideas about what you would like to express and create something personalized and jaw-dropping just for you! Maybe Star Wars is your boyfriend’s thing? Or maybe Gone with the Wind is your girlfriend’s thing? Maybe you’re both obsessed with Disney movies. Why not put some time into learning some customized choreography to have a seemingly impromptu space robot dance to the music of Star Wars, Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina scene emerging from the middle of something sweet and elegant. What a surprise that will be! A surprise for everyone that gives you the perfect first dance that will impress your guest and leave them with something to talk about for years to come!

For the less adventuresome or those looking for a more traditional first dance, or maybe something sweet and simple, we can give you that too. Getting married soon? We can put a choreographed dance together in a short amount of time, with one of our Crash Courses customized to provide you with the perfect, basic romantic first dance.  Whether  you decide to create an elaborate or simple first dance, it is always best to start learning your dance routine as soon as possible-4-6 months in advance is ideal. We want you to look relaxed, comfortable and polished by your big day.

In addition to getting a first wedding dance, consider that social dancing is also fun to know as a couple.  You and your fiancé can enjoy Swing, Salsa or Country Two Step dancing for years to come. Think about all of the opportunities you may have to use your dancing, from other people’s weddings to fun date nights. Dancing together as a couple also relieves the stress generated from all the wedding-planning, which is a great thing!

Why not Rock Your Reception and move forward together with a life skill that you can use over and over again wherever you find yourself dancing through the years? Moreover, the romance generated from this day will set the tone for the rest of your lives together.

Helping a couple start their married lives together is one of the most joyous rewards we feel here at Dance FX Studios, especially every time a “thank you” note arrives on our doorstep.
