A Vlog on Virtual Lessons!
Watch Bryan and Stephanie Tate, Franchisees of Arthur Murray Waco, explain the benefits of virtual interactive dance lessons in a little more detail!
VIRTUAL Interactive Private LESSONS
We know what you’re thinking… “Seriously? How much could I really get out of a lesson from a teacher on a computer screen or tablet?”
We hear you.
However, the one thing you can always expect from Arthur Murrays, is that this company is constantly evolving, doing everything in our power to be relevant, and the COVID-19 situation is no exception.
Just like our patented in-studio syllabus, that’s been creating great dancers for over 100 years, we can assure you that our virtual lesson programs will be a very viable way to get your dance fix! Not to mention, a ton of fun and great exercise!
We know it’s a little unique, but why not give it a try? The worst thing that can happen is that you get a little better in your dancing.
So how about it? Let’s get VIRTUAL! 🙂
How Dancers Survive During the COVID-19 Quarantine
As professional dancers and instructors, you can imagine how stir-crazy Bryan and I are feeling during this time of #shelterathome. However, we have come upon a few tips to help us, and you, stay sane during this very crazy time.
TIP #1: Create a Schedule
We can’t emphasize enough how important this is. Of course, this doesn’t mean you have to plan your life and day down to the exact second, but sticking to a routine has definitely helped us to not only stay productive, but it also creates a great sense of accomplishment. That positive energy can go a long way right now, can’t it?
TIP #2: Stay Active & Eat Healthy
This has been especially important for us as we are so used to moving and DANCING at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Every day, we have made it an absolute priority to do SOMETHING active. Whether its going outside to walk our dogs, a 30 minute workout session on youtube, or just doing a few yoga poses, staying active is not only essential for a healthy body, but for a healthy mind as well.
We’ve also been sure to keep our meals nutritious and clean to keep our immune systems strong and healthy. Luckily, I enjoy cooking, but if you don’t, there are some great local restaurants that offer amazing nutritious meals for pick-up, and a lot of them even deliver! You’ll be treating your body well, and also supporting a local business. Win, win!
TIP #3: Finish each day with what you’re thankful for
Bryan and I have found it encouraging at the end of each day to go over what we accomplished that we didn’t have finished when the day began. Did you do something that day that you’re especially proud of? Maybe you finished a home project that you’ve been meaning to do for months, or you cooked an awesome new recipe, or maybe you just put makeup on that day… (for real though, right!?!). Whatever it is, no matter how big or small, celebrate it.
Making a point to remind ourselves of the things we are thankful for: our marriage, our families, our health, a roof over our heads, our Arthur Murray Dance Family… has helped to keep us centered and optimistic when it’s SO EASY to sink into the doldrums.
TIP #4: Remember this won’t last forever
We know it’s hard to look at the big picture at this moment. The days seem to go on forever, and sometimes it’s hard to even remember what day of the week it even is! But we all must remember, that this ISN’T going to last forever. We WILL all get through this. And, when this is all over, Arthur Murray Waco will be waiting for you, with bells on, for all of you to celebrate freedom, community, joy and all of us being better versions of ourselves on the other side of this.
See you all soon. 🙂
Coming soon to Brazos Square – Arthur Murray Dance Studio!
Did you happen to drive by Brazos Square and see us dancing Tango, Swing, Rumba and more in the parking lot last Friday?
Did you think to yourself, that looks like fun?
Did you then think, “I’d never be able to do that though, I have two left feet…”
Or maybe you thought, “I’ve got some rhythm, but I’d like to continue my dance journey and see how far I can go.”
Wherever you may fall, whether you’re a clean slate, or you have some experience with dancing, come in and try the Arthur Murray Method of teaching!
Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Waco is one of the 270 Arthur Murray Dance Studios around the world. It’s the oldest and largest dance organization – the first studio opened in 1912!
Opening Day for Arthur Murray Waco is April 7th! Contact us to schedule your first lesson! You’ll see why we CAN’T WAIT to help Waco learn to dance the Arthur Murray way!
Getting Prepared for Business
We are preparing to open the Waco, Texas area’s first Arthur Murray ballroom dance studio. The process has been hard work!
The process has also been exciting. Getting to know our neighbors (one is an amazing shoe salesman who has served the community for decades), performing little experiments like testing our sound system, seeking out employees who share our passion and drive…that has been fun.
Bryan and I love dancing for so many reasons. We love the sense of mastery, competitions and connecting with people. Once our new business settles, we can’t wait to show Waco what we love most about dancing: it’s really fun.
