Intermational Spring Festival
Greetings to all Potential Participants:
Beginning May 4th and continuing through June 16th, 2012, Arthur Murray Dance Schools around the world are joining in the fun and excitement of the 2012 International Dance Festival. Over the next six (6) weeks, all of the dance schools worldwide will be competing to increase the number of lessons taught, group and party attendance, guests and program enrollments. During this time, our school will be having weekly themed parties, a graduation dance, potlucks, prize drawings, a special outside event party, door prizes and many other special activities.
Your Arthur Murray Teachers have deemed the theme of this year’s International Dance Festival to be:
“Cheers to the Next 100 Years”
Join in the fun as we dance and celebrate like the party people we are with all the different Theme Parties.
You will be asked by your instructor to become a “School Sponsor”. Your responsibilities as a participant will be to attend and have fun at as many parties and school activities as possible. There is a small fee to become a participant, but we’re sure you will see that the value will far outweigh the cost.
To make the festival extra fun, all student participants will be earning Drawing Tickets for participating in all school activities. You will be winning prizes and receiving give-away’s all along the way. On June 16th, at our combined Studio Victory Picnic, the Grand Prize drawing will be held, with the Grand Prize awarded being
San Francisco Dance-O-Rama
The Bellevue, Everett, Federal Way, Seattle & Tacoma Schools are hoping for 100% participation and are looking forward to finishing 1st Place (again) in 2012. The Staff would like to thank you for helping us become the #1 School in our Division…(again)! Let’s Dance!
Valentine’s Day is Around the Corner!!
VALENTINE’S DAY – PUT YOUR WHOLE HEART INTO VALENTINE’S DAY LEARN TO DANCE!
CORAL GABLES, FL – Feb 10, 2012: What did you receive last Valentine’s Day? Has it made you happier, stronger or healthier? If you’re like many people, it’s just sitting there or you’ve thrown it out. Why not do something that will really make you happier, stronger and healthier?
Learn to dance! And men, remember, the easiest way to win an argument is to take her in your arms! Nothing could be sexier than learning to move together on the dance floor. Plus there are health, happiness and “brownie points” to be had!
This year is an especially good year to step up your Valentine’s Day gifting. 2012 marks 100 years since a shy young man named Arthur Murray stepped onto the dance floor and into the history of American pop culture. Known best for the iconic Arthur Murray Dance Studios, we are all still dancing and teaching couples of all ages the art of dancing, romancing and moving to your favorite songs. Plus, dancing with the one you love? Could it get any better than that? At Arthur Murray Dance Studios (www.arthurmurray.com) around the world, dance experts know that a great night of romance begins on the dance floor.
“Taking your partner in your arms and moving to the music is something that you can’t put in a box or order online,” says Thomas Murdock, Vice President of Marketing and Promotions for Arthur Murray International. “A Valentine’s dance is a warm and loving way for couples to honor the romance of their relationship, whether they’ve been together for months, years, or decades,” he adds.
Experiencing the joy of movement together during an evening devoted to each other demonstrates a level of caring that is missing from many couples’ fast‐paced lives today. It’s a time when cell phones, iPads and e‐readers are out of sight. You can’t text, post on Facebook or Skype while you are on the dance floor ‐‐ although you could get someone to do it for you ‐ and wouldn’t that be awesome to show your family, friends and coworkers! It’s a wonderful place to rediscover each other, and just in time for Valentine’s Day.
For a memorable evening this Valentine’s Day, take your date to the local Arthur Murray Dance Studio. We guarantee you’ll have a fun evening together. At Arthur Murray Dance Studios you’ll find a comfortable atmosphere, professional instructors who are experienced in teaching couples, dance floors with lots of room to move, state‐of‐the‐art sound systems, soft lighting and what could be better – your partner, with a smile, in your arms?
Throughout 2012, the entire Arthur Murray International family will celebrate Arthur Murray’s life and accomplishments with a series of special events, including a 24 hour webcast spanning the globe of the Arthur Murray world, from Australia to Japan, to Dubai and Israel, South Africa to London, Brazil to New York and across North America to Hawaii. Arthur Murray Dance Studios are located in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Austria, Latvia, Ukraine, Poland, Italy, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, UAE, Egypt, Turkey, South Africa, United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia.
