Meet Stephanie (the professional!)

Short version:  Stephanie is fabulous!!!

Stephanie is a professional Ballroom Dancer with Arthur Murray Dance Studios. Originally based out of Arthur Murray Fort Worth, she is now the Franchisee of Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Waco with her husband. 



Stephanie and her husband Bryan currently hold the 2019 Arthur Murray Professional Nine-Dance Champion Title. They are also Three Time World Lindy Hop Champions as well as the 2014 International Two-Dance Champions in Venice, Italy.  They have also been Rising Star and Open Professional Finalists in Italy, the Czech Republic, Cancun, Orlando, and Washington D.C.   

Before Stephanie’s career at Arthur Murray, she was classically trained in Ballet and Musical Theatre Arts in Philadelphia and New York City.  She has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Walnut Street Theatre, and the Bristol Riverside Theatre in Philadelphia.  She was also part of an off-Broadway performance workshop with Broadway show writer, Barry Keating.  In addition, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Business with a double minor in Spanish and Theatre Arts.    

Stephanie’s desire to become Arthur Murray Franchisees all goes back to her passion for people.  Stephanie and her husband both agree that their first love is sharing the joy of dance with others and teaching their students, many of whom before coming to Arthur Murray, had never danced before.  Watching their students and staff grow and develop in their own dance journey is what they enjoy the most about being Arthur Murray Professionals

Welcome to my Dancing With the Waco Stars (DWDTS) Journey

The 8th annual DWDTS  fundraiser for the Waco Family Abuse Center . VIDEO of our dance now posted! How I will always remember this journey...dancing with joy!

Final Week Notes

Dancing with the Waco Stars is over...and Stephanie and I were extremely pleased with our performance.  We cannot thank those who supported us and the Family Abuse Center enough!  I hope to provide some more details but as of the Monday before the show we had over $11,000 in votes and ticket sales.  Not enough to win...but that just means FAC won all the more overall.  I think over $120,000 as of Monday totals. I also hope to have video to share of our dance.  Yes, I will share...the goal met:  I am not ashamed (far from it).  Stephanie is a miracle worker. In the meantime, a few final week photos and thoughts. DRESS REHEARSAL:  Sunday was dress rehearsal at the Waco Hippodrome.  We had one run through of the routine.  It went well, but I slept very, very poorly that night running through every mistake in my mind.  Nerves suddenly as the event became very real!!! HAIR (no makeup!) and TIME TO DANCE Thursday we did a short rehearsal ...
