Sometimes it feels like a job interview, other times there is an awkward silence throughout. Plus, in this digital world, a lot of the small talk takes place before we even meet our potential date in person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our suggestion? Turn it up a notch!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why waste another evening waiting for the check when you and your date could be boogying on the dance floor? Dance lessons are a great way to discover the chemistry between you and your date. It may sound a little intimidating, but bear with us and keep reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Discover your connection: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning something new while working together opens up channels of communication and helps foster a different kind of understanding of one another. Learning to dance does just that. You become one another\u2019s partner, instead of just two people on a date.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Physical activity relieves stress: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dating, in the beginning, can be nerve-racking! Getting active doing something like dancing releases endorphins which elevates mood and releases positive feelings. Combine that with some fun music and you\u2019ve got an experience that will curb any first date jitters while allowing each person to be themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Dance can ignite romance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dance is an exciting and romantic way to get to know each other. It fosters respect for both partners and forces you to let your guard down by just having fun and being yourself. Also, being in close proximity to your date, making eye-contact, and learning the way each other\u2019s bodies move sparks a romantic tension unlike anything else.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Anyone can do it! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People of all ages, shapes, sizes, and experience level can dance! Our Fred Astaire Dance Studio offers private and group lessons for every level of expertise from beginner to expert. Dance is the universal ice breaker!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who has ever been single knows how nerve-wracking first dates can be!
