Baby Droolings

Ballroom and Latin dancing, while frightening propositions to adults without experience, are nothing for kids. And why should they care? Children lack the concerns for appearances they adults harbor, aren’t unafraid of falling or looking stupid, and have energy any adult would kill for. So with all that moldable drive, and fearlessness, all that’s missing is quality dance instruction. And now Clearwater has that, as well.

In August, world famous purveyors of the dance, Arthur Murray Dance Studios opened their newest location on Highland Avenue in Clearwater, giving Pinellas county residents one less excuse to put off learning ballroom dancing in Tampa Bay. With the launching of the Kid’s Dance Program, parents can now ensure their children can at least positively raise eyebrows at every wedding they’ll ever attend, if not lay the groundwork for a career a show business. So whether you want to retire to the Caribbean on your famous kid’s dime, provide them a rewarding method of exercise, or just want to involve them in a positive activity, Arthur Murray Clearwater has a kid’s dancing package that will suite your needs.

At Arthur Murray Clearwater, the kid’s classes offer instruction for would-be dancers from ages 7-17. Patient, professional teachers will cover the basic steps in favorite like FOXTROT, WALTZ, RUMBA, SWING, CHA-CHA.

Studio owners Sevrin Szapiaczan and Landra Seim promise, “Kids frequently change partners and have loads of fun while learning.”

Students learn the fundamental skills upon which later moves are based and study at least two dance styles each class. The beginner class is designed as a fun introduction to ballroom dance in the various dancing styles. The Advanced Class focuses on dance technique and choreography. The studio also provides private lessons five days per week for performance and competition-oriented children.
