Saturday Night Dance - Great Success! Thanks to all!

Hi everyone, I wanted to make some time to put out a brief mention to all the people who made our first Saturday night dance so fabulous! We had a full studio with a mixture of new people and some loyal followers from the old Tequesta studio.

The music was excellent as always from the great Pete "Sir Dance-A-Lot" and his fab wife June. All who came couldn't stop commenting on the wonderful large floor and amazing atmosphere for dancing.

There were three fabulous showcases on the night. Tom and Mary took on a very playful Swing routine and brought the house down with their mixture of technique, showmanship and comedic styling! Nice mustache Mary!!

Craig Gordon and Francis Yu stepped in for the unfortunately sick  John who was supposed to perform a smooth style Foxtrot with Olga. However you would not have known it was a last minute addition from their performance of the American styled Viennese Waltz! Speed, rhythm, grace and elegance were shown throughout the basics and the spiral turns alike.

Finally our very own Craig and Lesley took the floor for their Waltz / Viennese Waltz hybrid dance to David Cooks version of the Michael Jackson classic "Billie Jean". The crowd went crazy from start to finish as they swung with style and power through a variety of International and American style figures including the incredibly difficult high speed rotation Fleckeral. The whole dance came to a stunning end as Craig eased Lesley on to his shoulder for some lift spins and a drop finish! One attendee commented it was the most beautiful dance she had ever had the privilege of seeing!

If this is anything to go by then our next open dance should be amazing......So come join us on February 12th at 7.30 pm for our Valentine Day Dance. You can even join in the fun by coming dressed in Red and White if you like!

Cant wait to see you all again soon!

The AMPBG Team ;)

Happy New Year to one and All

Well Well Well, Happy New year To You All!!

I am so sorry for the lack of content recently, but i assure you that it has been a warranted absence from the blog. You see the last 6-8 weeks I and the rest of the team have spent every awake moment (and some of the asleep ones too!) working our fingers to the bone in the new studio location.

It delights me to confirm that we will be opening Tuesday the 18th of January 2010 in our Fab new location! So where is it you ask?? Well I am going to tell you. We can now be found in The Promenade Shopping Mall, 9820 Alt A1a, Unit 206 In Palm Beach Gardens, 33410.


View Larger Map

The new studio location has over 4200 square feet and 2600 square feet of open dance floor for your (and our) enjoyment!

We will be open Tuesday through Friday from 1pm until 10pm and then from 10am until 4pm on Saturdays so we should be able to fit even the pickiest of clients schedules.

As with all Arthur Murray's the emphasis is on quick and easy learning whilst having lots and lots of fun. Having taught over 40 million people to dance around the world so far you CAN BE SURE that your in safe hands and when you will feel the Arthur Murray difference form the moment you walk in our front door to the moment to dance out of it!

Once our full schedule is released I will post a link here but it is true to say that we are perfectly equipped to deal with all of the Palm Beach Gardens community dance needs:

• Special Individual Wedding First Dances
• Private Dance Lessons in some of the worlds favorite and most usable dances including Salsa, Swing, Foxtrot and Tango.  
• Zumba burn up to 500 calories and tone up all over with this great full body workout using the core dance moves to Pure Latin Rhythms.
• Weekly in Studio social dance parties and regular out of studio social dancing activities.

Anyhow, thats enough of me blurbing on about all the great things we can help you do, I will post back shortly with pictures of the completed studio....or you could just pop in and see us. It going to look much better in person.

Here's hoping to see lots of people through the studio in the coming days and weeks,

Ciao for now.
