As America's second oldest franchise organization, Arthur Murray International, Inc. is known around the world as a prominent entertainment company with franchises located throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, Europe, the Middle-East, Japan, South Africa and Australia. With the beginning of a new millennium, social dancing is again a significant part of popular culture for all generations. Today, the Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios continue a tradition for over 95 years in teaching the world to dance. The history of the Arthur Murray Franchised Dance studios began in 1912. When Arthur and Kathryn Murray retired in 1964, a group of franchisees purchased the company and brought a fresh new spirit and leadership to it. Under its new leadership, the Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios has kept pace with the rapidly changing "youth culture" and continues today to flourish as the world's largest dance instruction organization. Arthur Murray dance teachers can be found not only in the studios, but on the movie sets in Hollywood; backstage on Broadway; and partnering with major entertainers to promote the music that the world dances to. Whenever a movie involves dance, it's a good bet that AMI has been involved in some way, shape or form. Such movies as Dirty Dancing, Dirty Dancing II, Dance With Me, Beautician And The Beast, Flash Dance, An American President, True Lies, Saturday Night Fever, Scent Of A Woman, Shall We Dance, Mad Hot Ballroom, and Take the Lead are some of the films which have used Arthur Murray instructors to either teach a dance to the stars and/or dance in the film. The Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studio's name appears regularly in major national magazines that include Vogue, Martha Stuart Wedding, Smithsonian, Sports Illustrated, Woman's Day and more. Wherever advertisers want to reach consumers with a message of romance, intimacy or just plain fun, you'll see dancing, from the Gap' commercials to dancing M&M's and gas pumps. Arthur Murray International's commitment to dance goes even further, as Sponsors of Dancing with the Stars, and now teaming up with Humana. They even have a new documentary coming out soon “The Ballroom”. All of us at Arthur Murray are also pleased to announce our new celebrity endorser Mr. Emmit Smith well known from his football, and now for winning Dancing with the Stars. All Arthur Murray franchised Dance Studios are independently owned and operated. Building from within has kept the studio system strong, with franchisees that are committed to the Spirit of Excellence which is the hallmark of the entire Arthur Murray system. Currently there are approximately 220 Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios worldwide. One Franchisee is Paul R. McCain, owner and operator of the Broad Ripple location one of five locations within the Indianapolis area. Paul started out as an Arthur Murray student in 1989 and went on to become an instructor where he has won numerous awards with his students. He has also achieved several studio excellence awards with his wife. Paul with his wife Jennifer then took over the ownership of the Broad Ripple studio in 2004. Jennifer also started out as an Arthur Murray student in 2001 and also went on to become an instructor. She has achieved several awards over her career as well. Utilizing the famous Arthur Murray method of teaching dance, which focuses on learning skills rather than just dance steps, the McCain’s offer classes at several levels including Jennifer’s new program just for kids. “Arthur’s Kids Yes kids can dance to”. An introductory adult course focuses on meeting immediate needs while allowing instructors to evaluate individual skill levels.
