Arthur Murray Franchise Model Overview
Arthur Murray Dance Studios teach ballroom, Latin and social dancing, mostly to adults, through private lessons, group classes, parties, showcases and competitions, with virtual instruction now part of the model. A studio is a leased space of roughly 2,800 to 3,500 square feet with hardwood ballrooms, an enrollment office and a staff training room, so the build-out is modest compared with most storefront franchises. The business is a sales and staffing operation: owners hire, train and certify their own instructors, who must complete at least 100 hours of teacher training, and income depends on enrolling students into lesson programs. Studios are regulated by an FTC consent decree and, in many states, dance-studio laws that can require bonding. The franchisee must supervise the studio full time on premises. The brand has franchised since 1946, operates no studios itself, and has grown slowly but steadily. Buyers of an existing studio inherit any prepaid, untaught lessons.
