5th Annual Halloween “Boo Bash” Dance Party with Live Country Music in AZ

/in /by

rsz_1rsz_dsc06104In just a few short weeks, we will have one of our favorite annual events… Dance FX Studios’ 5th Annual Halloween Boo Bash Dance Party! Saturday, October 24, 2015 will be a “scaretastic” fun time that will include live Country music, Halloween costumes, and much more! You can come join in the Halloween festivities, even if you’re not a current dance student.  Why? Because we don’t want anyone missing out on the fun! Here are just some of the reasons why you will want to get your tickets now…

This special event will have live music by Country band Two-bit Shotgun (one of our favorites in the Country music scene in Arizona). Enjoy great cover song that you and your friends to Country dance to in your Halloween attire. As a student of dance, practicing to live music is a wonderful experience. Songs are not “canned” as they are on the radio, helping you to train your ear when it comes to hearing the music. When you attend a wedding, for instance, most of the time the bride and groom will have chosen to have a live band over a deejay (although some choose both). If you get in enough practice dancing at one of our live events, then you will look flawless dancing to both live music and a pre-recorded music. Live bands tend to slip up when it comes to tempo, but if you learn how to adjust to the timing difference, you will always be successful when dancing with anyone on the dance floor. Don’t worry if you’re just starting out in your dancing journey, Private Dance Lessons with us can help you master the art of dancing to the beat.

Another great thing about our live events in general is the opportunity to meet new friends who love to dance too. It doesn’t matter if you’re single, or in a committed relationship, you (or you and your girlfriend/boyfriend) will get to meet people who like the same hobbies as you. If you are single, you never know who you might meet while you are hanging out at cool events like this one. At least when you come to one of our events, you know they would be the type of person who loves to go out dancing!

If you are married or in a relationship, then our upcoming Annual Boo Bash Dance Party can be a great way for you to have a unique date night and relax without the kiddos. Drop them off at their favorite sitter’s house and have a fun time, just the two of you.

Social dancing is a great hobby to have together. When you discover popular dances like the Country Swing or Salsa, then you will quickly see how practice will make you a more confident social dancer. Dance FX Studios’ in-house parties are a great way for couples to dance together and get in that practice. Your instructor will be so proud!

If you have only take your Private Dance Lessons with one instructor and haven’t had the opportunity to learn from another instructor’s point of view, then our live dance events will be the perfect opportunity to dance with and learn from our other instructors. We will start the night out with a mini group lesson. The dance class is 30 minutes long, giving you a great chance to pick up a new move or two from a different teacher in that time frame. The mini group class is also a great chance to try out your new moves with new friends on the night of the party. Because you know you will be in a room full of our students, you can feel completely comfortable and never judged when trying something new. We have all been there before!

Our 5th annual Boo Bash will be held October 24th this year and we couldn’t be more thrilled! We love the chance to have fun with our students for more than just time on your Private Dance Lessons. It’s so exciting for us to see you using what we teach in a real world situation and actually becoming successful. If you don’t feel like you’re completely prepared for that night, then take advantage of our New Student Offer for Private Dance Lessons and learn all of the tools you will need for any night out on the town. We can’t wait to see you on the 24th of October. Tickets are on sale now!

Your family members will love the idea of discovering dance with their loved one, or even solo so they can meet new friends here in Arizona. You know that your gift will be the only one of its kind, so you don’t have to worry about getting your mom the same set of pots and pans that your sister got her.

You will be so thankful during the holidays when you finally make time for yourself to recharge and unwind. Everyone deserves a break from the holiday madness!

A lot of work places like to throw holiday parties, especially around Christmas time. Depending on how big your company is, dancing will surely be a part of the event.
