By Jim Lamb

Learning to dance, while sometimes a scary proposition to the adult uninitiated, is a really easy for kids. And why not? They lack our concern for appearances, are not afraid to stumble or fall or to looking foolish, and possess amazing energy. So with all of that drive, and courage, the only thing missing is quality teaching. Well, Tampa Bay has that now, too.

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.
