Regardless of the time of year you start, there’s always a reason to learn to dance. With special events like weddings that take place year-round, social dancing is an amazing skill to know. There are also many benefits to dance, from social to physical to emotional perks. Over the years, we have found some of the more meaningful reasons to make social dancing a part of your life. Here are just a few…

Knowing how to Country dance or Latin dance builds confidence. Why? Because social dancing is a pretty cool thing to know how to do! When you can ask a lady to dance, or accept an invitation for a dance, just because you know what you’re doing, dancing becomes that much more fun! Who would rather sit at the bar than be swept off of their feet? And, if you’re the guy, having the skill to sweep a lady off of her feet is a great feeling.

For men, knowing how to Country Two Step dance, for example, is very empowering. You can not only show any dance partner a great time, but you can also watch your buddies on the sidelines drooling with envy that you have a skill that they don’t. The key is making the investment in yourself by taking Private Dance Lessons so that you can be that awesome Country dancer. With Private Dance Lessons from us at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, you will get all of the most important tips on how to look and feel your best while dancing.

Social dancing is quite a romantic hobby too! If you’re spoken for, it’s essential to keep the romance alive. That takes work. When you make time with your sweetheart to attend your Country dance lessons, or Latin dance lessons, you are saying that the connection between you two matters. Private Couple’s Dance Lessons are also a healthy and fun escape from kids, work and life’s daily stresses. How nice!

Lastly, knowing how to social dance avoids loneliness. You will never worry about spending a night on the couch when music is being played locally. In Arizona, you can head out to a Country bar and Country Swing the night away. Or, if you love to Salsa dance, check out one of Phoenix’s many Latin dance clubs and you will surely have a blast meeting new friends with your mad dancing skills.

Get started now learning to Country dance or Latin dance here in Arizona with us at Dance FX Studios and see how your life improves. We’ll make sure your confidence is through the roof by helping you to succeed on any dance floor!

Dance to Get Fit!

Arizona couple Country dancingDid you know that social ballroom dances like the Country Two Step, Swing or Salsa, can actually improve your athleticism? That’s right! As fun and exciting learning to dance is, it is equally as beneficial. Regular dance lessons will improve your balance, flexibility, and endurance, all of which are important components of sports fitness. What you learn in those dance lessons can apply to your sports activities – score!

 

Cardiovascular fitness is crucial to every fitness activity, from track and field to soccer to baseball! Dancing improves your body’s ability to deliver oxygen to your muscles and tissues, which is key to staying healthy and trim. Stamina is also an essential aspect of being successful in sports, and if this is an area in need of improvement for you, it will show. If you build endurance with dance lessons and practice, you can condition your cardiovascular system while being active on your feet for hours at a time!

 

One perk of conditioning that athletes focus on is avoiding injury. When you get injured, you put a halt to more conditioning and playing. If you keep your muscles in shape in a low-impact, all-inclusive way, you could be less susceptible to injury. Dance lessons and regular stretching will help you with flexibility, a vital instrument for avoiding injury. Though you may not realize it, ballroom dance is actually fairly demanding! You have to maintain your balance and endurance while staying flexible and agile for hours at a time. Consistency is key here and regular dancing will be the most beneficial for the best results. Our maple sprung floors here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ are great for those with bad knees or joint problems. (There are thousands of tiny rubber balls under the wood, creating a low-impact, safer dance floor for you to enjoy!)

 

Did you know that Ballroom dancing can burn a good amount of calories? Salsa dancing, for example, can burn up to 480 calories per hour! Between 290 and 420 calories can go with Country Western styles like Country Swing and Country Two Step. With each hour dancing the Cha Cha, you can burn anywhere from 260 to 530 calories! With dancing, you have to support your own body weight, which can help improve bone density and muscular strength. Students of ours have reported feeling more energetic with more pep in their step from taking regular lessons, enjoying the self-expression and stress relief that dancing can also provide. A better mood and higher self-esteem are also great benefits which can manifest in your sports activities as well. With more energy, higher confidence, and a better mood, you can accomplish a lot!

 

Crosstraining is one of the best ways to reap maximum benefits from your fitness regimen. Prevent boredom and take a different approach to improving your endurance, flexibility, strength, mood, confidence, and more with social dance lessons! Dance FX Studios will take into account your goals and needs for taking lessons and create a lesson plan just for you. Schedule your introductory lesson today and start experiencing the benefits of dance! What are you waiting for?
