For entertainment purposes, one can understand why the sheer elegance of the foxtrot and the pure passion of the bolero would make anyone watch Dancing With The Stars. Just sit on your couch and be transformed to the ultimate fantasy as you watch the pros, with their picture-perfect bodies, glide across the dance floor. "Maybe I could do that", could have been a fleeting thought in your mind as you re-played your favorite dance number from Maxs and Kirstie Alley over and over again through your DVR. "Why not?" you may have said to your yourself as you whipped out your laptop in search of the nearest ballroom dance studio. Then reality set in. "But where would I actually be able to go once I know how to ballroom dance? Who am I kidding? And who has time to learn any of that anyway?"
Fortunately, the popularity of Dancing With The Stars has since brought a new light to social ballroom dancing. Fun and exciting dances that you can actually enjoy at a Latin club or in a Country bar are now being presented on the show. While the same competitive "flash and trash" (as we call it) huge, sweeping routines for entertainment value may be a bit distracting, some of the newly exposed dances on the hit reality show are actually able to be converted to a crowded, social dance floor. Take salsa, for example. Salsa dancing, especially here in Phoenix, Arizona, is extremely popular. What's great about this useful Latin dance is that it doesn't require a lot of space in those steamy, packed dance clubs. Accompanying dances like the merengue and bachata have not yet made their mark on Dancing With The Stars, but we are hoping they soon will.
For Country dance fans, and there are a lot of them here in AZ, the Country two step and swing have made an appearance or two on Dancing With The Stars. While the pros, who are definitely out of their element teaching their stars how to Country dance, may not have been able to truly reveal how these popular social dances are actually easy to learn, the dances are making it to tv sets all across America. Progress for us social dancers!
Now it is your turn to become your own star on the dance floor. With popular social dances like the two step, swing and salsa, you can be that hot mama or cool dude that you always wanted to be and find use for your newfound skill. In fact, your skill set on the dance floor will open doors that you may not have even expected. Many of our students here at Dance FX Studios in Mesa, AZ have transformed their lives throughout their journey's here as students. They have gone from shy to superstars filled with confidence-just by learning to dance. Social dance lessons have given them a chance to meet new friends, shed those unwanted pounds and get off the couch once and for all! Dance lessons also help with those who are in need of a romance boost in their relationship. It does feel great to get connected after a long day of work, kids and life's many other distractions.
