Dallas, Texas

I had always enjoyed social dancing and grew up doing just that and thought that I was certainly able to get by, but life and circumstances sometimes play their little tricks and my life was turned upside down. Still, I was doing okay and was in control, but I needed something more and I didn't really know what it was. I was busy, and had a lot of places to be and things to do, but it was still not enough.

And then one day I realized that I was the only one who could do something about it and circumstances put me on the dance floor again and I found that what I thought I could do reasonably well seemed to be frozen. An idea came to me which I never had before and that was to search out dance lessons so that I would not be embarrassed if the opportunity presented itself again.

Let me preface this by saying the hardest thing about my dance lessons was deciding to do it and then to walk through the front door! It was not that I was afraid; but more because I did not know what was in store for me on the other side. I had no idea at the time the decision I made was going to change my lfe for the better in a big way...

I got through the first introductory lesson and for whatever reason I scheduled another one, and then another one. And the reason for that was the welcoming feeling that I had received from all of the staff and students I had met who were both new and advanced. By this time you would be right in assuming I was hooked and knew I had found something more than just learning to put one foot in front of the other.

Dancing enabled me to bring my personality out of its hiding place behind the events in my life, both good and bad. I love the way it makes me feel when I can move across the floor or when I can move my hips to the rhythm of a Latin dance. I love the challenge of getting it right, and the realization that yes I could do something that was just for me, and prompted by me. It made me realize that I can try to do it all and that I like where I am in my life and most importantly that I really do like myself.

And, in closing, I must say I am so very happy that I found the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Dallas. The talented staff cannot be beat and I can go on and on so I will jut leave you with this thought...

Everyone who is thinking about dance lessons should become a part of the Arthur Murray experience!
