Dance Advice for Humans

Learning to Dance After a Long Break

Learning to Dance the Second Time Around

Sometimes, a first impression just isn't enough.  In fact, sometimes that first experience can be an unmitigated disaster.  Whether this is dating, a driver's test, or dance lessons - we can all use a do over from time to time. 

So if learning to dance didn't work the first time, it's time to take a mulligan and give it another shot.  

People Who Could Use a Dance Lesson Do-Over

One of these students below could be you, and if that's the case - we suggest that you revisit your dancing.  For some reason or other, it didn't work out for you the first time, and we want you to know that that's normal, it means you're human, and we can help. 

Took Lessons a Long Time Ago

You may think the dance information you learned is buried somewhere even Indiana Jones couldn't track down, but you'd be surprised what will come back to you when you visit your local Arthur Murray Dance Studio.  

Took Lessons for Your Wedding 

Learning how to dance for your wedding has been a growing trend over the last few years. Unfortunately, some will take a very literal approach to a "Wedding Dance", and that means they quit dancing when the wedding is over.  

Had the Right Idea, but Wrong Timing

Sometimes life can have a pretty cruel way of rescheduling fun things that could make you happier. 

Had the Right Idea, but the Wrong Environment

Maybe your first lesson was in a group class with 97 other people, or by yourself in someone's living room, or anything in between - if the environment wasn't ideal for your learning, you deserve a do over. 


Tired of Playing the Waiting Game

Ever hitched your dance wagon to someone that had no intention of dancing?  Well, it happens, and that doesn't mean you need to miss out on a great hobby.  

Your Dance Teacher Left

There's something about your favorite barista, hair dresser, or dance teacher that can make it feel difficult to continue without them.  The reality is that sometimes the season of your activity may not align with their season of delivering that activity, but that's no reason to discontinue said activity.  Bottom line:  You deserve a do-over to rekindle your love of dancing, even if your teacher has moved onto something else. 

 

Taking the Chance... Again

At some point it was a great idea.  Something that made sense, motivated you to take action, and for some reason or other, things didn't pan out.  While the pessimist that resides in your head may call that "a sign that it wasn't meant to be", consider this article a sign of just the opposite.  

Whether you are a former Arthur Murray student, an "almost" Arthur Murray student, or someone that has just put dancing off for too long - we'd like to invite you in for a complimentary lesson to get things on track for you.
