How Dancing with Arthur Murray’s Helps a Relationship


Welcome!

As February is popularly associated with love and romance, I’ve chosen the relationship-building aspect of dancing as our subject.

Part of the joy of being an Arthur Murray teacher is watching troubled marriages heal, and strong relationships deepen.


Dancing Is Magical!
How does that happen? What is the magic of a hardwood floor, energizing music, simple step patterns and an Arthur Murray instructor?

Partner dancing – whether it be sexy Latin, classy Ballroom, or relaxed Swing and Country Western – is really the only hobby a couple can share that nurtures both the individuals and the partnership. Playing a sport together doesn’t allow tender touches; academic classes don’t stimulate the creative soul and are individual efforts. But on the dance floor, couples discover a new talent and rediscover excitement in their relationship.

Students learning our special connection exercises concentrate on nothing but feeling each other move while holding eye contact. Worries about bills, children, jobs; all these things melt away as a husband and wife reconnect in a meaningful way.


Ask Yourself…
How often do you really look at your spouse these days? How much are you aware of each other physically? Do you take the time to deeply appreciate your relationship?

As partnering skills develop and the connection exercises make the dancing more effective and enjoyable, a beautiful transformation begins to occur.

Spouses fall in love all over again.

They share triumphs in their dancing and encourage each other through the rough spots. They see the creative, artistic sides of each other – and are sometimes greatly surprised to find those facets even exist! They impress each other by accomplishing something bigger and brighter than the mundane tasks of everyday life. They begin to see the world, starting with the dance floor, through their partner’s eyes.

When two people can shed the cares of the world and concentrate on something so simple and “meaningless” as a Waltz box step, they open doors to each other that may have been slowly closing. Or, perhaps, doors that were shut and locked long ago.

We here at Arthur Murray – particularly here in Little Rock – truly appreciate the healing power dancing has on the heart. You, too, can reap the benefits of dancing through artistic expression, physical touch, shared learning experiences and an excellent instructor.
