Bonjour! On Friday, February 5th at 7:00pm, we have an amazing Newsome Twosome we are calling Nouveau D’Duo planned for our studio. Since February is the month of romance, the theme is From Paris with Love! For those that are going to take the floor next Friday, here are some tips for making the most of your new dance routine..
Have Your Outfit Ready to Go: There is nothing more stressful than trying to find the perfect outfit the night before you are to wear it. Now is the time to have everything picked out from head to toe. If you are using props or wearing a fun costume, be sure to wear it to a dance session with your instructor before the big day. That way you know if you can move comfortable and everything works as it should.
Arrive Early: When you were taking a test in school, we all that moment before the test sheet was handed to you to go over your notes and breathe. That’s exactly what you will need to do before you dance. Warm your body up, get hydrated, pump up your friends, and get ready to dance!
Have Fun: Yes, you knew this one was coming. However, although you are always told to have fun at Arthur Murray, it’s easily forgotten when you over analyze your routine. The one thing that can make any dance event better is just to smile and remember you are doing something you never imagined you would be doing. Dancing is meant to bring not only joy to yourself, but also joy to those around you.
In Conclusion,
Like the artist Irving Berlin wrote, “The best things happen while you’re dancing…” Allow this Newsome Twosome to be yet another wonderful memory for you to share for years to come.

This next pre-party dance is going to be rumba. So we decided to ask our instructors what it is they like about it.
Because its so easy to dance and carry on a conversation with your partner. -April
The slower speed allows for more expression of rhythm and musicality. -Chris
Because once you know waltz, you know rumba too, and vice versa. -Kyle
I like it because it’s great to dance to all those melodic ballads of the 1950’s! -Bradley
I like the versatility of the rumba, that because of the slowness of the music you can have a connection with your partner. -Lindsay

This past week we had a number of students head off to Irvine, CA to compete in the prestigious Embassy Ball. This is where the World Pro/Am titles are held. Great job to Joy Newhouse, Linda Newkirk, Christine Azcona, Karen Stepan, Tara Myers, and John Myers. Each of them did a great job and placed in many of their events. The group also took a day trip over to Catalina Island and enjoyed a relaxing time there. At the end of the weekend Chris took 3rd place for Top Teacher, and Arthur Murray Cypress was awarded the Top Studio award. Great job Team Cypress!!!

This past Saturday our studio helped Team Houston in a dance off against Team SAustin. We had a blast dancing and supporting one another. Unfortunately Team SAustin won the event, but we came home with the Newcomer Award, the Specialty Dance Award and the Silver/Advanced Award. Thanks to those of you who sent us pictures from the event.
Remember that our next event coming up is the Texas DanceSport Jam on October 19th. Talk to your private lesson instructor about how to get signed up for it.

Just like all the kids in the area are going back to classes, likewise it’s time for all of you to get back to your classes too. Dance classes that is. We all know that the best way to remember something is through practice and repetition. Group classes will give you the repetition you need to get a good handle on your new steps, while private lessons can help you get that polished look you want in order to practice showing them off at parties. So don’t forget to use all three aspects of what we offer here at the studio. We know it’s the fastest and best way to get you to become the kind of dancer you want to be.
