Hang Heavy
On Your Hands !?
There was a time when this
applied to me. But not since
the day I first ventured into
the Arthur Murray Studio to
accept the offer of a compli-
mentary lesson. To anyone
regardless of age-looking for
good times, a health giving
hobby, and congenial friends,
1 heartily recommend this
school where people Of all
ages and from all walks of
life have fun while regaining
or retaining a happy healthy
outlook on life.
After the death Of my hus-
band seven years ago. I found
myself with too much spare
time. Sitting behind a desk
five days a week took care of
the daytime hours, but the
evenings and weekends were
blank spaces. Bridge parties,
club work and TV were not
sufficiently satisfying and I
found myself bored with so
much sitting. What I needed
was exercise. And what could
be more active than dancing?
On my first visit to the Studio,
after meeting the staff and
watching the teachers and
students so obviously enjoying
themselves. I decided to give
1t a try. After my first three
months In the Studio I knew
l wanted to continue. Now
three years later, I am happy
made that decision. AL
though was reared in a strict
family where dancing was
frowned upon. I had never
subscribed to that idea myself
However, 1t undoubtedly had
the subconscious effect Of
making me even more stiff
and unrelaxed than the aver
age person who starts dancing
late in life.
OF course we students do
work, but the carefully Sc
lected and well-trained teach
ing staff, under the supervision
of Ethel Fistere, goes "all out"
to be sure that the student
has fun while learning. There
is a challenge and satisfaction
IN accomplishing what at first
seemed impossible, and thor
oughly enjoy doing it. Many
doctors not only recommend
dancing lessons to their pa
tlents as excellent physical
therapy but follow the same
prescription for their own re-
Taxation and exercise.
II you are facing retirement,
or change fof residence. there
are Arthur Murray Studios To-
Gated throughout the United
States. On a 4,000-mile trip
through the South this spring
1 found Ia Studios and was
made to feel at home in every
one. AS a registered Arthur
Murray student you will re-
ceive the same kind of treat
ment. If you are in Washing
ton temporarily your lessons
can be transferred to the
Studio nearest to your next
assignment.
If you enjoy meeting delight
full people of all ages I would
suggest that you do as I did,
and find your way to the
nearest Arthur Murray School
Of Dancing without further
delay. My only regret is that
I waited so long. I so appre-
ciate all the Studio has meant
to me, I shall be most happy
to meet and talk with anyone
interested in hearing from one
satisfied customer.
Should anyone reading this
purely voluntary and unso-
licited testimonial doubt that
learning to dance the Arthur
Murray way is good fun, as
well as good medicine, then I
suggest that you visit the Stu
olo ana draw your own con-
clusions. You will find that
there are no strangers there,
and enrolment. even for a
short course, covers much
more than the instruction
which has proven to be the
best method under interna-
tionally accepted standards.
II you care to call me at EX.
3-4l00 for an appointment I
shall be most happy to meet
you at the Studio and answer
any questions, from a stu
dents point of view.
