Arthur Murray’s northeast studios, 43 in total, celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the Arthur Murray company at their recent staff training weekend. On saturday evening, they danced in a conga line and sang happy birthday to Arthur Murray (his real birthday is on April 4). What a festive celebration!
Area 1 Anniversary Celebration
On January 27, 2012, between noon and midnight Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Boston took dance steps with its 4th Annual Teach-A-Thon to benefit AdMeTech Foundation’sDance for a Cure of Prostate Cancer. “One in six men is diagnosed with prostate cancer, and every 16 minutes a man dies. There is no community in the United States left untouched,” said AdMeTech Foundation’s President, Dr. Faina Shtern.
Our Burlington studio is in the news. An adorable couple, Jane and Jason, came into the studio last minute to take a few lessons before their wedding. They were excited about their first dance, but like all couples they wanted some pointers on how to make a great impression to their family and friends. It can make a couple very anxious to dance together in front of a large crowd, especially on such an important day. Dance lessons make all of the difference. With some professional help, that dance can go from a high school sway to a beautiful set of movements that show off the couple and how connected they are.
Jane and Jason dance a Foxtrot to the Glee version of “Lucky” originally sung by Colbie Callait and Jason Mraz. They learned quickly and by the time the wedding came, they were ready. What a beautiful wedding they had! Arthur Murray Dance Studio Burlington and the dance lessons they took were featured in a Real Wedding Feature in the Knot Boston magazine.
Joanne of Arthur Murray in Danvers received a wonderful letter this week from one of our students.
Dear Joanne,
Sincerely,
Timothy Edwards
So what does Ana have to say?
I really like making people smile and teaching dance makes it that easy because it’s so much fun. When Tim came in, he was very quiet and I barely got a nod from him but now I see him go up to the ladies with a big smile and ask them to dance. That’s what dancing does for you.
-Ana
We’d like to thank Timothy both for his kind words and for dancing with us.
We just announced the winner of our Dancing with the Radio Stars fundraiser. DJ’s from WROR in Boston danced with 4 members of our Boston area staff. They started out as dancing frogs and turned into dancing swans. In 4 lessons, they all perfected a routine which they danced in front of ballroom dance judges at the Boston Studio. Our instructors, Stan, Laura, Fran and Andrew, danced with the on-air celebrities PJ, Hank, Julie and Lauren. The radio listeners voted and chose a winner. The couple with the most votes was Stan and Lauren. They danced an amazing Swing. Lauren Beckham Falcone is a DJ on the Loren & Wally Show mornings on WROR. Stan is an instructor in our Natick, MA studio. They did an incredible job. The dance off video is posted on www.wror.com. Lauren is donating $500 to the Massachussetts Down Syndrome Congress.
