You who have known well - through church
activities and civic organizations know that we have
danced most of our lives You know, too, that we
have had variety of recreatona interests bringing
us into wide contact with people.
Why then, many have asked, did we feel we needed
to take time for dance instruction? Why in particu-
lar, did we enroll at Arthur Murray's? Why once
enrolled have we kept coming back year after year?
All good questions, and we are delighted to have
this chance to answer them
Why We Came
us came in merely to learn more about the Latin
American dances The other at the suggestion of the
doctor, came as therapeutic measure in recovering
from back alment 1t was here in fact that we met
each other-a most happy coincidence not covered

ing lessons were different for choosing
the Arthur Murray School were the same We both
had been sufficiently exposed to the world Of ball
room dancing to know that the best-proved system Of
instruction generally available in this country is the
Murray system; and, since the best would cost
more than something less, this choice was easy
Why We Stayed
Our reasons for continuing in the Arthur Murray
program however, are not simple, for we discover
ed in it all that we had expected, and more-the

social standards exceed even the high standards of
dancing if this is possible.
And this leads us to very special reasons for
sticking with the Arthur Murray School, We realized
that here hobby could fully share together.
We could spend the time and money in a
country club athletic club, in fishing golfing
sailing any number of other ways but inevitably
these activities like work. tend to keep us apart
Dancing brings together, in challenging health
full mutual interest that knows no bounds.
Moreover-and this is important to any dance lover
the studio provides place to dance a place
where there is room to move freely, among real
dancers, to good dance music and in refined sur
roundings How different from an occasional dance
sponsored by social organization or trying to find
room on crowded night-club floor.
For those who pursue it fully hobby dancing
provides an artistic and creative outlet through the

tributes to a better understanding of the peoples
from whose folkways the various dances have come
Thus, with its physical mental, social and artistic
aspects dancing seems to to be the beSt-rounded
and the most completely satisfying of all possible
hobbies and we are glad that the Murray Studios in
the washington area provide not only the instruction
but the ideal facilities for the full enjoyment of our
dancing interest. Because the Arthur Murray organ-
cation means much to us, we want to spend a
couple OF our leisure hours each week at the Studio
to answer questions. Well meet you there if you'll
