DANCING in a Winter Wonderland

Arthur Murray Sherman Oaks and dancers Javier Ochoa and Daisy Ramirez would like to thank the Sherman Oaks Galleria's management and marketing staff for the opportunity to kick off their festivities at their annual Tree-Lighting Extravaganza.

Javi and Daisy chose an elegant Fox Trot to dance in the vertical space of the path leading up to the tree between throngs of guests.  The Fox Trot was invented in 1913 by a man named Harry Fox and is, therefore, one year younger than the Arthur Murray company which was founded by -- you guessed it -- Arthur Murray in 1912.  (Read Tom Antonellis's blog on Arthur Murray - the man - here.)  If you're doing the math in your head, your correct:  this coming year, 2012, will be Arthur Murray's jubilee 100th Anniversary Celebration.  We've been teaching the world to dance for a century...one step at a time!
