Phoenix Dance Instruction Services

Let me start out by saying that I am an expensive dance instructor. If you are looking for a competitively priced dance instructor, then I am not your guy. In fact, I don't really recommend taking lessons from me unless you've seen me dance. Second, I teach the contemporary social styles of dances. If you want to compete, then you should for a competitive instructor. If you want to go to Pepin's and Salsa, then I'm your guy for learning Arizona two step, bachata, foxtrot, merengue, night club two step, push-pull swing, west coast swing and salsa.

Experience the benefits of one-on-one dance instruction. Most social dancers focus on group dance lessons. Group dance lessons are good, but they usually aren't about learning how to dance. Usually, they are about learning a dance. You may think that I have just contradicted myself, but I'll explain why I didn't.

Each dance has its unique combination of counts, body positioning and basic steps. A particular song matches a particular dance when sounds in the song synchronize with elements of the dance. One of the methods of judging a dance is comparing the interpretive elements that the dancers add to their dance with the interpretive elements that a music artist adds to their music. Learning a dance is learning a series of basic steps to a given count with the appropriate body position.

Learning to dance is learning how to make the movements of your body match or complement the movements of your partner and the song. When you learn to dance, you are also taught more subtle elements of dance that instructors simply don't have time to teach in group lessons. Imagine spending an hour learning which part of your feet that your weight is supposed to be over. I've done it and I am still practicing it on a regular basis.

Dance Instruction

Many people are understandably nervous about having their wedding dance in front of a crowd. A little dance instruction will allow you to look good and even throw in a few moves that will have your guests applauding not just before and after, but also during your first dance as husband and wife.
