“Being an Arthur Murray franchisee is incredibly rewarding. You get to change so many lives through dance while building a strong, joyful community. It is just as meaningful to create lasting careers for dance teachers, all while being supported by the legacy of the Arthur Murray brand.”
“I am so grateful to be a part of a business and community that is so extremely supportive. The Arthur Murray community has gotten us through some immensely tough times, where others may not have faired as well. Having the network of amazing people and the backing of AMI as a whole has been a blessing that we do not take for granted.”
“Personally one of the best parts of being a franchisee is that my husband and I are able to raise 4 kids and have a family while still running 5 studios and more to come, while still training over 40 staff members everyday. I started in this company as a teacher at age 18 and never would I have thought it would take me this far.”
