Cause I’m Sick of Dancing Alone…

/in /by

Romantic dances for weddingsI was driving in my car the other day listening to a mix of songs from my high school “scene kid” days.  For those of you who don’t know what a scene kid is, Google it.  I won’t say it was my proudest moment… I used to have mullet-like multicolored spiked hair, tons of colorful bracelets, and a band shirt for every day of the month. But hey, everyone has a couple of years they look back on and think, “Good grief.  What was I thinking?”  Please tell me I’m not the only one! Now let’s take a little trip in my time machine.  We’re going back to those high school days.  Oh, such a lovely time in history! (Cringe)  Remember senior prom?  You probably spent way too much time (and money) attempting to make it the most memorable night of your then seventeen-year-old life.  Now take a moment to remember the dancing portion of that night.  Were you the kid on the edge of the dance floor with your punch, staring enviously at everyone else dancing?  If you weren’t, good for you!  You most likely tore up the gym floor and made the rest of us crave your mad skills.  For the remaining parties, high five to being awkward!  If you were like me, you probably watched everyone else get down, and begged the stars your date would at least ask you to slow dance.  Literally everyone can slow dance.  I mean, it is just swaying, right? WRONG. Well, I guess it could be, but how incredibly boring and uninteresting.  What if I told you there is a social ballroom dance perfect for all those romantic songs?  What if I also told you that dance is not genre specific, so you could use it to dance to your favorite Country tunes, R&B hits and 80’s slow jams. Wouldn’t it be nice to not be standing on the sidelines, or just swaying robotically to the beat?

I welcome to you, my lovely friends, the Nite Club 2 Step dance. This dance is the cure to all your awkward swaying problems.  It’s a favorite of the instructors here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona for its beauty and grace.  You can be assured anyone at this studio would be jumping with joy to make you a part of the Nite Club 2 Step fan club.  It seems to have this wonderful ability to capture the emotion of the song perfectly.  This is a great feature to have in a dance because it isn’t specific to any one genre of music, so it allows for a lot of options as far as environment.  It can be danced in your living room, out at a Latin club (A.K.A. Bolero), or a Country bar, at a wedding, or in the middle of the desert for that matter!  It’s very versatile and unspecific (which is perfect for any individual or couple), and if romance is what you are after, this dance has it all.  You will rid yourself of any awkwardness you once felt on the floor with a great slow dance in your back pocket.  You will feel confident, graceful, and closer to your partner.  Honestly, does it get any better?

So here is my proposition for you, you can stay on the sidelines with your sweet red punch, or you can grab a partner, hit the dance floor with confidence, and sweep them off your feet.  I think the latter sounds more appealing.  Invest in yourself and let us at Dance FX Studios help you make that vision a reality. Get started with our New Student Offer for beginners. You’ll be glad that you did!

Dance Lessons for a New YOU This Year!

/in , /by

Your resolutions for 2013, a brand-new and what promises to be your most “enlightened” year yet, are hanging on the fridge: lose weight, meet more friends-maybe even that “special someone”…, learn a new hobby, find a way to de-stress from work. Do these sound about right? If so, you’re not alone. The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to envision a better version of you, one that is happy and heathy in all of the key areas; mental, physical, spiritual and emotional.

Did you know that there are few things in life that meet all of your personal growth needs and that dancing is one of them? Yes, learn to Salsa dance or try to Tango and see how many of your 2013 resolutions come true. You may be thinking, “How does learning to Two Step help me become less stressed? Learning to dance is something I dread!” Let’s explore just 3 of the numerous ways that dancing can enhance your life.

1. Dancing releases endorphins: Looking for that natural high without hitting the gym? Get your heart pumping and your feet moving and see how good you feel after an hour on the dance floor! Swing dancing alone can burn over 350 calories in the span of 60 minutes. Mix up your time on the dance floor with a little Salsa dancing or some Country Two Step and see how even your gluts will take on a new shape without even trying. While the blood starts pumping an you’re getting wrapped up in the fun of it all, the release of endorphins will have you dancing to a new tune. You can’t help but be in a great mood when your body is kicked into high gear. With a loosened body, your mind will follow and all that is good will begin to take shape. It is much easier to put things into perspective when your body and mind are healthy.

2. Dancing is Exciting:  Take a dance lesson and see for yourself how much fun you’ve been missing! With dance classes, you can not only meet new people who share similar interests, but you can learn a new skill that sets you apart from the everyday person who simply “fakes it” on the dance floor. While it may be intimidating to get started, once you begin, you will see how learning to dance can provide the perfect amount of challenge and thrill that you have been seeking.

3. Dancing is Romantic: Not a thrill-seeker? Well, consider learning to dance as a romantic and more personal way to connect with others. The idea of moving as one in the Argentine Tango conjures up thoughts that would make most women swoon. This year, you can be that suave guy on the dance floor or that elegant woman who really shines.

Give dance lessons a chance this year and see how you can make 2013  your best year yet!
