Learn to Dance To Your Favorite Tunes With Us At Dance FX Studios!

The New Year is just around the corner- a time to reflect on the past year and maybe make some  changes in your life.  Change can sometimes be a little scary, but without it, we cannot move forward and experience new things in our lives, which really is beneficial for all of us. What about a new hobby or activity that will be fun and rewarding? Do you find yourself tapping your feet to music, moving to songs you enjoy? Then, social dancing like the Country Two Step, Salsa or Swing lessons may be just the ticket! 

Social ballroom dancing is a pursuit that can be used for any occasion from weddings to nights out on the town and something you will have with you forever and talk about beneficial! Dancing is an ideal way to relieve tension, keep fit, and boost your confidence, to name just a few of the benefits. At Dance FX Studios, in Mesa, AZ, we have been helping so many people in the Phoenix East Valley area to learn to dance with private dance lessons. We would love the opportunity to provide any singles or couples with the skills and tools to become self-assured dancers.

OK, so now you are intrigued, but where do you go from here? Perhaps you just are not sure what type of social dancing you would like to learn. Well, let’s start with the music- what type of music do you prefer and find yourself wanting to move to? We are going to explore some possibilities that may help with that decision.  And keep in mind, we do not limit you to just one dance, you have the option of incorporating several different types. The advantage to this is that this will make you a more versatile dancer, so that you will be able to dance to a variety of music, from something slower that is more romantic to something faster where you can really shake it up!

Dance FX Studios is thrilled to announce that now as a student, you will have access to our Spotify account, for a variety of playlists so that you can practice any of the dances you have learned at home.  So, if you are drawn to the Latin dances, like the Argentine tango, Salsa or Bachata, you can login to our account and find our playlists for these dances. To get to our playlist, "Like Us" on Facebook and then follow this link. Those of you who love the romance of tango, you may want to listen to “La Yumba”, by Osvaldo Pugliese. Songs like “Yamulmau”, by Joe Arroyo are great for dancing to Salsa. For the Bachata, try “Obsesion”, by Aventura. These are just some of the Latin dances that are available.

Maybe you prefer something fun and lively- then Swing music like the Jitterbug is a perfect choice! Not only will you find some classic swing music, but also some contemporary swing as well. Check out our Jitterbug Swing playlist for songs like “In the Mood”, by Glenn Miller or “Tell Him He’s Yours”, by Michael Bublé.  After trying out a few of these, you will feel rejuvenated and it will be hard to sit it out!

For all of you Country music lovers, learning the various types of Country dances are made for you! From Country two-step to Country waltz, we have it covered. Check out our various Country playlists on Spotify. You will find songs like “Knew All Along”, by Alan Jackson, or “Ain’t That Love”, by Kenny Chesney and will have a great time dancing around to your favorite songs with moves that you have learned in your lessons.

Think of how beneficial this will be to the learning process! As you progress in your lessons, you will be able to pick a song and know which moves to apply to that particular dance and how to put together your own moves, with what you have learned with your instructor.  What a great feeling that will be and how impressive you will be when out on any dance floor!

Why not give it a try? You will be so glad you took the first step towards trying something different and so much fun.  We look forward to hearing from you!
