Calling All Singles!




You’re single, you go to work every day, come home watch TV, take care of some things around the house, and maybe run some errands. Life is good, but you feel like something is missing. Someone recently asked you “What do you do for fun?”, and you were stumped. Your first thought was “fun- what’s that? What do I do for fun anymore?” 

You go out with friends at times, but it seems like it’s always the same old thing you’ve done so many times before. You’re on the go most of the time checking off your “to do” list and spending time helping out others, but what about yourself? Don’t you deserve more? You bet you do! You want to do something that you will really enjoy and at the same time, is something that is also beneficial.

At Dance FX Studios we have a great alternative to the usual activities that you may not have thought about- social dancing. The social dances we teach include salsaCountryswing, and Argentine tango. Keep in mind, social dancing is not the same as “Dancing with the Stars”- that is strictly competitive dancing, which is great for the small minority of people who actually enter dance competitions, but for the rest of us- not so much. Social dancing is for the majority of people who want to dance in the real world, such as clubs, weddings, parties, any occasion where people want to have fun and look good on the dance floor with any partner. 

Dancing is a great way for people of all ages and physical abilities to get fit and stay in shape. Simply put, dancing just doesn't feel like exercise but it actually offers a total body workout, using all of the major muscle groups and providing heart-healthy benefits. Along with keeping muscles toned, dancing burns body fat, increases flexibility, balance and coordination, and strengthens bones. Private dance lessons are a perfect way to get started. Your lessons are customized for your learning speed and capacity, enabling you to reach your dancing goals in the shortest amount of time possible. So, before you know it, you’ll be shaping up, feeling good, and looking awesome out there on any dance floor!

As a low pressure way to meet others, social dancing is an excellent way for people to get acquainted. At Dance FX Studios, taking a single’s group dance class is wonderful way to connect and learn with other students. We offer 4-week group classes for swing, Latin, and country. Each week, students are rotated throughout the class, providing the opportunity to dance and relate with a variety of partners. And who knows, you may make a new friend to go out dancing with while you both try out your new, fancy footwork.

OK, maybe you’re feeling a little shy and lack confidence in yourself and your abilities. Studies have shown that social dancing contributes to high self-esteem and a positive outlook. It can increase poise and build social skills. Because physical activity reduces stress and tension, regular dancing gives an overall sense of well-being.  At Dance FX Studios, we have seen a number of students who were insecure and quick to criticize everything they do, progress into outgoing, happy, and secure new people. It is so rewarding and inspirational to actually witness this metamorphosis!

Well, now that you know some of the benefits that social dancing can offer for singles, are you ready to get started? Dance FX Studios is available for lessons Monday-Friday, from 12-8 pm and Saturdays, from 11 am-4 pm. We are centrally located in the East Valley, just outside of Phoenix and Scottsdale, at 1859 W. Guadalupe Rd, in Mesa, AZ, close to Gilbert, Tempe, and Chandler, AZ. Give us a call to schedule your private dance lessons or to enroll in one of our group dance classes, at 480.968.6177. We look forward to meeting you soon!

"When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way." ˜Wayne Dwyer
