/in /by

arizona wedding dance lessonsAre you getting married? Kick off the night with confidence when you hit the dance floor! Unbelievable as it may sound, a large number of brides and grooms don’t do the first-dance of their dreams for one simple reason. They don’t know how to dance, and didn’t make the time to learn together. Suddenly, their fear of dancing at their wedding reception overrides the fun of it all. That’s where WE come in!

If you live in the Phoenix area, we can help you get ready for your special day with Wedding Dance Lessons. Learning to dance for any occasion should be easy and exciting, not intimidating and dull. Our inventive team of choreographers will create a customized routine to the song/songs of your choice. Do you have any creative ideas? The sky is the limit!

Gone are the days where you must dance to one slow, sappy love song on your wedding day. Let us help you come up with something unique and special; we can choreograph to anything! Whatever your first-dance ideas are, our Wedding Dance Specialists will choreograph something that expresses your personalities as the bride and groom.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event and we are here to help you shine on the dance floor. That includes everyone, from you as the bride and groom to a daddy/daughter dance, mother/son dance, or something fun for the entire wedding party!

At the top of our list is your first dance as husband and wife. It can set the tone for the remainder of your reception, and should show the connection between the two of you, and how you feel about one another. When it comes to the styles you want to include in your Wedding Dance Choreography, we will give you our professional suggestions based on your song, personal styles and overall vision for your wedding. You can keep your first dance sweet and simple with a romantic song that has a lot of meaning. Or if you think you and your spouse can handle something a little more “out there” and fun, then you can burst into some silly moves and embarrass yourself (in a good way) and you could end up internet-famous with one of our Rock Your Reception wedding dance routines!

With over two decades of experience in preparing brides and grooms for their wedding dance, we can tell you that the journey of taking dance lessons together is an exciting and rewarding one. Couples find themselves to be much more in tune with each other after learning how to lead and follow on the dance floor. Non-verbal communication is very important when learning to dance, but off the dance floor it is a primary skill that is seldom developed. With Wedding Dance Lessons, you will soon see the beauty that comes with understanding each other and communicating through movement. Dancing also re-enforces teamwork and communication which leads to a happy, successful, and long-term marriage.

A customized first dance is something that you and your guests will never forget. Not only will it give you and your fiancé a break from wedding planning, but you will become closer as you enjoy an intimate, romantic moment to share with your loved ones. Your first dance will be unforgettable! Whatever your goals are, we will give you the perfect wedding dance.

Getting Married? Check Out These “First Dance” Tips

Getting married? Congratulations! Put aside those invitations and centerpieces and give your friends and relatives a gift and memory that they will treasure forever on your special day…a one-of-a-kind first dance! Knock their socks off with a sassy salsa dance or a sweet swing, or try a more traditional first dance-wither way your guests will never forget that perfect first dance that you took the time to learn.

At Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona, we have literally choreographed thousands of first wedding dances over the past 12 years. To give you a wedding dance that suits your personalities and style, we start with a wedding dance consultation for just $20. This one-hour meeting will give us a chance to gather as much relevant information as we need to customize the perfect first dance for you.

When coming in for a wedding dance lesson consultation, being prepared will save you both time and money.  Below are a few helpful tips from us to you so that your consultation will be a success. 🙂

  •         Have at least 3 songs pre-prepared (or at least an idea of the style of music you would like to dance to) for your wedding dance consultation.  Without music, where would dance be? Sit down with your fiancé and get some ideas together before your consultation. There are so many different routes that can be taken. You can choose something classic like a Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin, in which case you would be dancing to a ballroom Foxtrot. Are you a Country music lover perhaps? For all of you two-step dancers out there, there a endless fun and/or romantic Country first dance tunes.  For Latin lovers, how about a sexy salsa? Latin pop music is hot right now, giving you lots of options for just the right song. Have you considered something totally out of the box like a Hip Hop dance? The avenues are endless! If you are really not sure what you are looking for, bring in 3 songs that you like so your wedding dance consultant can get an idea of what you enjoy as a couple. From there, we can make suggestions based on your taste. Let’s say that neither of you can agree on any song choices before the consultation. No worries,this does sometimes happen. In this case, we suggest that each of you bring in your top 3 picks and we can get creative from there. The beauty of what we can do at Dance FX Studios is that we have the ability to fuse several songs together and create something completely original and special to each of you so everyone is happy and confident on your big day.
  •         Bring in a floor plan of the room that you will be dancing in. If you don’t have exact measurements, come in with an idea of how your reception room is set up so that we can plan accordingly. Please keep in mind where the dance floor is in relation to your guests and your band/ deejay. In order to make that first dance as husband and wife special, we want to know how your guests are being seated so they can get optimal viewing of you on the dance floor. If your room plans are not yet set in stone, let me recommend something. Seat your guests on as many sides of the dance floor as you can. No matter where someone is seated, they will get a great 360 view of you shining on the dance floor in your first dance.

Now let’s talk about the size of your dance floor. Make sure to get the dimensions of your floor BEFORE you come in. Your instructor wants to give you the best possible estimation as to what is realistic for your space. If you are looking for a first dance that is simple, slow and elegant, anything above a ten by ten will work. Let us say that you are looking for a little extra flair. I would go for no smaller than a fifteen by fifteen square feet of dancing space. For those of you who want to make your first dance a “Rock the Reception” routine and go full out, please try to get a twenty by twenty dance floor. We will need the space to show off your awesome dancing skills!

 

  •         Fashion anyone?  What the bride and groom wear is just as important as the dance and music itself. Let’s start with the groom and buzz through him because, let’s be honest, it is all about the bride. 🙂 Grooms, there are two things you want to be conscience of – footwear and your jacket. When it comes to shoes, go for a leather bottom so you can glide with ease across the dance floor and show off your bride in the brightest light. I highly suggest that the groom remove his jacket before the first dance or even incorporate the removal of the jacket as part of the choreography. Either the bride can take it off for him and toss it into the crowd or even he can take it off himself, twirl it around his head and pass it off to a groomsman. Whatever flavor “suits” you best, (Get it?)

Now, here comes the bride. Ladies, proper footwear is a must! Please try to keep your heel height below three to four inches. Your grooms need you to be balanced when they are showing you off. Also, platforms are not ideal because they create a sense of heaviness which no bride wants. As far as the dress goes, pretty much anything works. Beware of the huge princess ball gown as it has a tendency to get in the way of the feet. At the end of the day, as long as you, the bride, feel wonderful, beautiful and amazing, that matters.
