Reconnect Through Social Ballroom Dance Lessons in AZ

/in /by

Couples who dance together, stay together, right? No matter the style of dance – be it Salsa, Swing, or Country Two Step – dancing is a great way to help couples connect. If life has been pulling you in separate directions (not everyone wants to golf with their spouse!) private dance lessons are a great way to reconnect, rekindle, and reunite. How, you ask? Let’s dig a little deeper!

1. Guaranteed Date Nights – When you’re learning a new hobby, especially one as fun as ballroom dancing, the only way to improve is through time commitment. The plus side to this is you are ALSO making a time commitment to your partner. With all of the outside obligations we have to friends, family, work, and the world, it’s incredibly easy to take our partner for granted. Taking private dance lessons guarantees at least an hour a week of “us” time to relax, learn, and enjoy the company. The cherry on top? Once you have a few moves down, you can take your dancing with you! You two now have a great hobby you can use on cruises, at work functions, or just a night out on the town. This hobby for two is an amazing way to end a stressful week full of soccer games and meetings.
2. Dancing Releases Endorphins – You know those “feel-good” things your body releases after a good workout or a laugh? Dancing involves music, movement, and a physical connection with your partner – ALL of which release those intoxicating chemicals. All those endorphins not only brighten your mood, but they can increase your emotional connection. Who knew that learning to Cha Cha could be so great!?
3. Better Communication – Dancing is literally talking without words. It involves the man, or lead, using his body to effectively communicate with his lady, or follow. A skilled dance instructor is able to help you understand both how to “speak” and “listen” to one another with your bodies. These physical communication skills eventually overlap into verbal communication skills. As my mom used to tell me, communication is key to a happy, healthy relationship. As the saying goes, it takes two to Tango, and all great relationships are built on strong communication-verbal or not.

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! At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we focus on the benefits of learning to dance, not just the steps themselves. We will provide you with an experience that shows you how dancing is a positive life-changer. Get the most out of this new year with dance lessons for you or for you and your special someone.

Try Salsa, Swing, Country or even Tango lessons at Dance FX Studios. We cater to adults only who want to better themselves through dance. Add romance, meet new friends and unwind from your busy day with private dance lessons or group dance classes in all of the most popular social dances.

Dance FX Studios in Arizona is located in the Phoenix East Valley in Mesa bordering Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Scottsdale.
