Wedding Dance Lessons for Arizona Brides and Grooms

/in /by

wedding dance lessons in ArizonaIs your wedding just months away? Then now is the time to begin spending time on the best part of your big day: your first dance! Now, it may seem daunting when you think of “performing” in front of grandma, your boss and even your best buddies, but imagine how much more excited your guests will be when you WOW them with a special dance that is NOT the 8th grade prom sway. No one could have expected that you would actually take the time to learn the most important dance of your life, but you did and it has really paid off! Now your wedding dance is the one thing that your friends and family won’t stop talking about. Who knew?

There are so many options now that you are ready to begin your journey into dance for your wedding day. When it comes to the perfect first dance for you and your sweetie, there are a few things to keep in mind…

1. Start With The Song: To really be inspired to learn to dance and to give your first dance your all, pick a few songs that really mean something to you. Do you like Country music, Big Band, Rock and Roll? What type of music speaks to you? A song that inspires you will show through in your dance and help you to give the best show possible for your guests.

2. Find A Local Dance Studio: There’s no need on your end to try and determine what dance style, be it Country Western or Salsa, that may fit with your song options because you can bring your song choices to a Wedding Dance Consultation at a nearby dance studio. A professional dance instructor will help guide you through which dance songs are best and what dances are good for the vision you have for your first dance. (East Valley Phoenix residents can come visit us at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ. :))

3. Start Earlier Than You Think You Should: Make sure to set up a consultation at least 3-4 months prior to your wedding so that you can really begin honing in on your dancing skills and getting rid of the jitters before you have to hit the dance floor on your wedding day. Social partner dancing is new to most adults who have never taken ballroom dance lessons before and, since no one is born knowing how to dance, it can take a little time to master. Most brides and grooms want to look as natural as possible so planning and plenty of practice time is a must!

Say goodbye to the prom sway and hello to the dance of your dreams with wedding dance lessons from us at Dance FX Studios. We would love to help you Swing dance with the best of them, or put on a tantalizing Tango dance number in one of our Rock Your Reception dances! Or, we can go subtle and elegant in your first dance with a Foxtrot to your favorite Sinatra tune. Either way, you will look spectacular on the dance floor with help from us! To set up your wedding dance consultation, contact us by phone or email. We are thrilled to be a part of your big day!

How To Get Him Excited About A Wedding Dance

/in /by

wedding dance lesson in ArizonaHe proposed. Congratulations! You have the most amazing venue picked out, your dream gown is being hemmed and the flowers have been ordered. What’s left to do? Why, the first dance, of course! You have a cool youtube-esque idea in mind…start out with the typical “prom sway” and then bust into an unexpected Country Two Step dance. It will go perfect with your rustic theme. The only glitch in your vision for the perfect wedding dance? Your fiance. You know that you need wedding dance lessons, but how are you going to convince him to sign up for wedding dance lessons? Here are a few ways to get your man excited about learning to dance for your big day:

1. Pick out a song he loves. Who doesn’t love to groove to their favorite tune-especially with their sweetie? Finding a song with meaningful lyrics will make your man want to show his love for you on the dance floor. Remind him of the special memories that the song holds for you as a couple and he’s sure to want to share that with your guests.

Maybe your guy is more on the wild side. Let him show off with a solo part in your first dance so he can be the center of attention. Maybe a spicy Argentine Tango or a saucy Salsa will get him pumped about performing in front of friends and family. Your dance will surely be a crowd-pleaser.

2. Appeal to his ego. The last thing that a man wants is to look “stupid” in front of his closest friends and family. This overwhelming fear of not being comfortable and looking smooth on the dance floor will make any man want to take a few wedding dance lessons. Plus, once he discovers that he gets to be in charge on the dance floor, he will keep coming back for more fun! In the meantime, you will learn a hobby as a couple that you can use time and again for other people’s weddings, on date nights to popular Country bars or Latin clubs, and at holiday parties. Wedding dance lessons are also wonderful for relieving those common pre-wedding stresses. When you’re dancing, it’s virtually impossible to think of anything else!

3. Sign him up for wedding dance lessons. Once your guy knows what he’s doing, he will thank you for signing him up for wedding dance lessons. To get started, shop around for a local ballroom dance studio that will choreograph something just for you. No cookie-cutter routine, but a one-of a-kind dance that will really reflect who you are as a couple. Be it simple and elegant or totally unique, you can shine with wedding dance lessons from a ballroom studio that knows what you are looking for specifically.

If you live in the Phoenix East Valley and are getting married, come visit us at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona for a Wedding Dance Consultation. The professional instructors at Dance FX Studios have been choreographing wedding dances for the past 15 years for Arizona brides and grooms. We are available for a Wedding Dance Consultation 6 days/week by appointment.
