    DO YOU MAKE EXCUSES TO AVOID DANCING?

    We Make Learning Fun, Quick & Easy®!

    Did you know dancing in public is a huge fear for many people? It's right up there with public speaking and the dentist. If that's you, you're not alone.

    But learning to dance doesn't have to be scary!

    Wouldn't it be nice to hear a song you like and have the confidence to get up and dance with the one you love the most?

    It's not a pipe dream - it's real.

    And we can show you.

    The Arthur Murray Legacy

    From Footprints to TV Personality & Teaching the Stars

    Arthur Murray is a century-old company that began with the innovative thinking and business savvy of our founder.

    He published pamphlets, mail-order footprints, and hosted The Arthur Murray Dance Party with his wife Kathryn for a decade, bringing dancing into living rooms across America.

    Arthur Murray & his studios were known as the teacher of many celebrities, including the Vanderbilts, Bing Crosby and Katherine Hepburn.

    Footprints & Arthur

    On a personal note...Jonathan and Kathleen Seals, the franchisees and owners of the Northwest Arkansas location, met each other at an Arthur Murray Dance Center.

    Would you believe it? Kathleen's father even took lessons at Arthur Murray in the 1950s and danced the Paso Doble on TV at the Palladium in Hollywood at a Medal Ball ceremony when Arthur used to televise the event. The Arthur Murray history is in our blood!

    Today, we are proud to carry on his legacy by bringing dancing to you in the simple, fun, proven system that he developed - guaranteeing if you can walk, we can teach you to dance.

    But don't just take our word for it...

    "Now, my husband actually asks me to dance"

    "I absolutely love to dance and have always struggled to coax my hubby on the dance floor. I was so pleased that we immediately built rapport and laughed during our first lesson.

    I was pleasantly surprised with my husband's immediate growth in confidence.

    Now, my husband actually asks me to dance and it makes me feel like I am living in my very own fairy tale."

    "[They] remove the insecurity & fear from any newcomer"

    "Both Kathleen & Jonathan have a unique ability to break down a dance step and remove the insecurity & fear from any newcomer. They are gentle & encouraging & make it fun

    I would highly recommend both of them to become your dance family. You won't regret it. Good for your health & all-around well-being!"

    "I highly recommend!"

    "In life there are unique experiences which allow us to share joy, triumph, accomplishment, artistry, freedom of expression, love and happiness!

    Arthur Murray franchised dance studios are one such life experience that I highly recommend!"

    We know

    You might be thinking...

    How do we know? We've met thousands of people who thought so before, see what they discovered and told us

    👴I'm too old to dance...👵

    Au contraire!

    You're never too old to learn to dance.

    In fact, dancing has been clinically proven to help with aging and improves brain health - and was the only activity out of the 11 tested found to do so.

    😬I don't know how to dance😳

    That's the best reason for you to take lessons!

    You're not supposed to know how to do something until you learn.

    😲I don't want to do those crazy moves they do on Dancing With the Stars🤕

    Good! Neither do we! 😊 Social dancing is much more fun when legs aren't flying around the dance floor from crazy lifts and tricks.

    Plus, our goal is to help YOU become YOUR version of a good dancer, not anyone else's.

    😖I have a bad back/knee(s)/other body part ♿

    First...we're really sorry to hear that 😥 Our question for you is...can you walk?

    Many physical therapists and doctors actually recommend this particular style of movement as therapy and rehabilitation because it is low impact, increases flexibility, and improves balance.

    (We've even had students pay for lessons with their medical insurance because it was covered as physical therapy!)

    🕺I don't have a partner💃

    Aren't you in luck??? You get to dance with our fantastic, highly trained and patient instructors who will take great care of you.

    🙅‍♂️My partner won't do it🚷

    Oy, if we had a nickel for every time we heard that...

    The truth is, they're probably nervous about something.

    • Skeezy instructors (we don't have those)
    • Scary instructors (don't have them either)
    • Looking stupid (everyone else is too busy learning to look)

    Honestly, we take pride in our encouraging environment and everyone remembers what it was like to be brand new.

    We promise it will be a non-invasive experience 😆 and if you don't both love it, we wouldn't want you to come back. (But trust us, you will!)

    A note from your neighbors

    Put a little fun in your life, try dancing®!

    From the owners, Jonathan & Kathleen Seals

    Hi!

    We are Jonathan and Kathleen Seals - real people - and fellow Northwest Arkansas residents.

    You may have seen us around with our son, William, who has become somewhat of a celebrity over at the Amazeum. If you see him in his costumes - Batman, Spiderman, Superman or Captain America - be sure to say hi. He loves it!

    Since COVID, we know things have been tough for everyone, and just want to share our support and love for you and this community.

    After years of sharing our love of dancing with people, we thought we had hung up our dance shoes for good and moved on... but have since realized everything we would be keeping from NWA. 

    We hope everyone believes in what they do as much as we do, so we hope you understand how passionate we are about changing lives through dancing.

    Even if it was just for the...

    • Community & Fellowship
    • Fun (indoor) Adult Activities
    • Art & Culture

    we'd be remiss to keep those from this area...but we've seen thousands of lives completely transformed through the magic of social dancing at Arthur Murray Dance Centers (we're even writing a book about it!) and can't wait for you to be the next heartwarming story!

    Can't wait to see you virtually or in our lovely new dance center,
