Dance is the expression of the soul through movement, body lines and shapes used as a form of social expression and interaction. Dance embodies emotion and tells a story. It combines the technical exactness of the action and the sublimeness of the feeling that the form brings up within itself. Ballroom Dancing unites the art of connecting, feeling and experiencing
non-verbal communication with another person as you move, interact and express your
selves as one.
Ballroom dancing is more than just the classic dance styles such as
Foxtrot and Waltz but also other rhythms like the Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive, Samba,
Mambo, Bolero and even some of the most current social street dances like the
Argentine Tango, Salsa and West Coast Swing. Each dance has its own value and special
characteristics; no one dance is better than the other; as you go through your
dance journey your “dance” taste will often change based on what you feel more
comfortable with at that moment.
At Daza Dance, we create personalized programs based on our students’ specific dance goals in conjunction with the instructors’ commitment to get the
desired results. Our staff is
dedicated to develop well-round social dancers who enjoy getting on the floor
and dancing to any rhythm at any given situation.
Teaching is all about communication; it is about inspiring and opening
minds to the process of learning in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and
memorable. It is about caring and conveying care to our students. Teaching is
about listening, questioning, and being responsive as well as validating and
respecting each person’s learning process. It is about recognizing and developing the student’s talents and establishing the teacher’s leadership through different forms
of positive re-enforcement. Good teaching is as much about passion as it is
about reason.
Our teaching techniques are based on three planned methods of
instruction, which are: Private Lessons, Group Classes and Dance Parties, all
under the already well-known criteria multi level achievement system DVIDA
(Dance Vision International Dance Association). The combination of these
techniques establish skills and develop concepts, building one upon the
other. It combines the benefits of various ways of learning with the influence
of the environment on the final result. Each learning technique may bring
unique dance, social and emotional benefits to our students.
At Daza Dance, we strive for quality and satisfaction; its significance
and mission is delivered to the student body through our dance instructors who
are a very important asset in our company. Our instructors dance passion is
what motivates their students to achieve their goals as well as they represent Daza
Dance’s mission and philosophy.
Ballroom dance provides stress-reduction and cardiovascular benefits,
physical exercise, and even further benefits of feeling connected. Taking dance
lessons is a very interesting and rewarding experience at many different levels.
There are the obvious benefits of studying dance but in reality it is a great
form of exercising, an enormous amount of fun, and it is a wonderful confidence-builder
for anyone at any age; it is a creative and expressive outlet as well. It gives
one a greater sense of poise and confidence in expressing themselves through
movement. There is growing evidence that stimulating one’s mind can prevent
Alzheimer disease and other types of dementia. Ballroom dance is holistic
because it positively affects the mind, body and sprit.
