Here's how it works:
The Arthur Murray Dance Studio "3way system of Teaching"
Each program is individually
planned and includes 3 types of classes:
1. Private Lessons
During your one-on-one private lessons, you will receive personalized instruction
that will help you achieve your personal goals. Your instructor will spend
the time necessary on technique, styling, and general dance improvement. An
up-to-date record of everything you have learned will also be kept as part of
your instruction.
2. Group Classes
Group Classes are an important complement to your private instruction.
They give you the opportunity to dance with a variety of partners,
develop good dance habits, and meet other students in the studio. In
Group Classes we emphasize technique, style, and variation of patterns.
You may be taught materials that your regular instructor hasn't
introduced to you yet. Additionally, material that has been
already introduced will be reviewed and practiced for improvement.
3. Practice Parties
We hold scheduled dance parties (practice sessions) for all our
students. These practice parties are held on a weekly basis. You will
have fun dancing with the other students and instructors in a
relaxed and comfortable environment. This gives you the opportunity to
practice and try out the new dance skills that you've learned in
your Private and Group Lessons.
This 3way combination of
individual attention, repetition and practice is particularly
powerful when applied as an integrated approach by a team of experts working together to build your new
skills.
Many other studios have these 3 types of classes but never in such an integrated fashion, with such ease
of scheduling and with the lesson plans so personally tailored.
Other Features of the Arthur Murray Dance Teaching System
Arthur Murray Dance Syllabus
Our dance syllabus is very comprehensive providing a hugely versatile teaching range. There are
opportunities
for learning whichever dance style you choose ranging from latin, swing
or traditional ballroom in either the social or competitive
styles.
Our Instructors
Our instructors are
carefully selected and trained to bring you the finest in dancing
instruction. Working together they help you reach any dancing goal
through individualized lesson plans utilizing the latest techniques and
styles.
In-Studio Social Dance Events, Theme Parties and Shows
In addition to our regular dance practice party sessions we also hold
specially planned events and dance "festivals". These provide
social dancing and/or performing opportunities to expand our students'
dancing skills while having loads of fun doing so.
Arthur Murray Medal Ball
An Arthur Murray Medal Ball is a gala dance event honouring students
who graduate from one level of their dance program to the next.
Medal Balls also afford students the opportunity to enjoy their
dancing in a fun and elegant setting.
Arthur Murray Showcase
An Arthur Murray Showcase is a one-day event
where students present dance routines with personalized choreography.
These routines make an exciting addition to your Medalist Program
because they allow you to develop showmanship and musical expression
along with your other dance skills.
Arthur Murray Dance-o-Rama
An Arthur Murray Dance-o-Rama is an exciting multi-day event full
of activities such as day long dancesport competitions,
elegant cocktail
parties, dinner dances, and exhilerating professional shows. These events
bring students together from many Arthur Murray studios to perform and
compete, at
their level, in dances of their choice. Preparation for this requires
specialized dance
training to polish and perfect choreography, technique, and
style. These gala events hone a dancer's skill through preparation and focus, and offer a "dance immersion" experience.
Video Studies
This method of instruction often reduces the time it takes to learn.
"One picture is worth a thousand words". Video study is quite popular
with many students and is included free of charge with any of our
programs.
