wedding dances in ArizonaThe love of your life just dropped down on one knee and asked you the scariest question of his life, “Will you marry me?”. Of course you say YES!!! without hesitation! How excited are you!? Now that the hard part is out of the way for him, it’s your turn to get to planning the day of your dreams. From the flowers to your favorite frosting on your cake, there’s so much to think about! While it will take a bit of searching for that perfect venue and that glorious dress, of course, there’s a key piece of your wedding day that most brides and grooms tend to put off…Wedding Dance Lessons! That’s right! It’s not too fun to for your guests to watch you sway back and forth for your first dance, but with Wedding Dance Lessons, you can kick off your reception in a big way!

What’s hot in 2015 for first dances? Choreographed dances are ideal. So that the bride and groom can practice the same routine over and over again to get to a level of comfort where they can relax and look natural, we at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona always recommend private dance lessons for brides and grooms. This way, we can make magic happen with the song or songs of your choice and give you a dance that is customized for you, with your styles and personalities in mind.

Now that you know that it’s best not to wing it, what dances styles are in this year? Let’s explore:

1. Country Dancing: Country dancing is Hot, Hot Hot right now! We have brides saddling up and even wearing their Cowgirl boots underneath their gowns! With popular Country dances like Country Two Step, Country Swing and Country Waltz combined with trendy and romantic love songs by new and old artists alike, Country dancing is sure to make a playful and relaxed statement on your special day. In the last few years, we have seen multiple brides and grooms tie the knot at barns and similar Country themed venues, so having that perfect Country dance to match is a wonderful touch.

2. A Classic/Traditional Dance: On the other end of the spectrum, many couples are going traditional these days. Black tie affairs have never really gone out of style, but Pinterest has taken “upscale” to a whole new level. The perfect wedding dance for this kind of event may include a traditional Foxtrot or Waltz, or a dramatic Argentine Tango. Any of these dances, depending on the song you choose, will surely reflect a classy and elegant evening.

3. The “Surprise” Dance: If you’re looking to really leave a lasting impression with that extra special WOW factor, spring a Swing dance or Salsa dance on your guests! Imagine how you will get everyone in the mood to party with, what we call, a “Rock Your Reception” routine. In these fun dances that you may have seen on youtube, you would start out slow and then bust into an exciting dance that is completely unexpected. What a way to give back to your friends and family who came to support you on your wedding day! Rock Your Reception wedding dances are great fun, but planning is required to pull them off, so begin searching for a local dance studio in your area to get rocking’ on that dance floor asap!

With so many ways to shine on the dance floor, it’s your turn to see what fits you and your fiance best. Set up a Wedding Dance Consultation to get started on a dance that will last forever in the minds and hearts of all that love you most.

First Dance Fun!

wedding dance lessons for brides and grooms in ArizonaYou’re getting married and the best day of your life is just months away! Now’s the time to get started on a wedding dance that will have your guests smiling for years to come when they think of you. That’s right! Gone are the days where you can get by with the 7th grade prom sway as your first dance. Enter creativity, excitement and tons of FUN on the dance floor. You’ve seen the youtube videos, now it’s your chance to add your personalities to a one-of-a-kind dance. With so many ways to WOW your friends and family, let’s focus on a few of the most popular ones to stimulate your imagination and get the ball rolling.

1. Anything goes!: From the Country Two Step to the Argentine Tango and Swing dancing to the Waltz, anything and everything is acceptable as a first wedding dance! Why not surprise your guests with a saucy Salsa dance or a rip-roarin’ Country Swing? All dances are fair game these days when it comes to giving your guests a dance to remember. The point? Fun, fun and more fun! An element of surprise will not only showcase your willingness to be playful with each other, but will also make your wedding stand out amongst all of your friends.

2. Involve your bridesmaids and groomsmen: A great way to show your love for your bridal party is by bringing them in on the action. Include them in your first dance as a way to spend extra time with them aside from the wedding day. A great way to do so is to choose a song that reminds you of great times together as friends. Maybe there was a vacation that you all took together or a song from High School that stood out. The perfect song will get everyone on board and excited to put on a mini “show” for the rest of your guests. Semi-private wedding dance lessons will bring your wedding party even closer together as you create memories that will last a lifetime. Plus, what better way can you think of to relax and unwind during all of the chaos of wedding planning, dress fittings, etc??

3. Go outside your comfort zone: Your wedding day may be the one and only time that you will be the center of attention amongst all of your friends and family. Have fun with this rare opportunity! Do a dance that you would never consider outside of your wedding. Even if you would prefer to stick with an elegant and simple first dance, push yourself to go beyond what everyone would expect. Include a few dips and turns that will be crowd-pleasing and great for those wedding dance snapshots.

Many brides and grooms don’t do the dance of their dreams for one simple reason. They don’t know how to dance! Suddenly, the fear of learning to dance overrides the fun of it all.
