The
gazillions of Dancing with the Stars
viewers in the Houston , Texas , area recently received an extra-special
dancing treat on Tuesday, September 25, 2012! The BEST Ballroom Dance Studios
-- Fred Astaire Dance Studios, of course!
-- were proudly represented by the Houston Memorial studio on the local ABC
newscast following the premiere episode of the Dancing with the Stars results show.
Mr.
Pahjmon Lipsey, Texas Area Developer, welcomed ABC News anchor, Sharron Melton,
and a host of cameras to the beautiful Houston Memorial Fred Astaire Dance
Studio. There, Ms. Melton experienced
for herself the reason why ballroom dancing at Fred Astaire Dance Studios is so
hip and popular with Houstonians of all ages.
FADS
Houston Franchisee, Mr. Philip Gutierrez, also interviewed in the show, is
shown twirling the anchor around the ballroom floor packed with fabulous
dancers from all 9 Houston Fred Astaire Dance Studios.
Though
the piece highlights the trendiness and mass appeal of ballroom dance, it (thankfully)
also addresses what we in the dance business have been saying all along: ballroom offers opportunities for people to
connect at meaningful levels, for couples to rekindle the spark in their marriages,
for learning something new and fun, for improving posture, balance and poise,
and for experiencing higher levels of confidence than ever before.
Beyond
the exposure afforded by popular TV shows, the ‘celebrity service’ everyone
receives, as well as the many incredible health and social benefits dancing
offers, are why people are flocking to Fred Astaire Dance Studios. Not only in Houston, but also all over the
country and even overseas, the "Dance Revolution" that Fred Astaire
himself brought to the world continues at each studio bearing his name — and it’s definitely here to stay!
