Join Us for Tournament of Champions – Lake Mary

The most anticipated event of the year… That’s right, the Tournament of Champions (aka TOC) begins November 6th and runs through December 16th! We recently kicked off this year’s Tournament of Champions with Casino Night!

 

If you are unfamiliar with the Tournament of Champions, you’re probably wondering why all the hype around this particular event. What is the Tournament of Champions anyway? Simply put, it’s a perfect blend of competition and celebration worldwide. There are over 250 Arthur Murray Studios in numerous countries that take part in the event!

 

What is the Tournament of Champions?

Tournament of Champions, aka TOC, as you might hear it called, is a worldwide competition between all the staff and studios throughout the Arthur Murray organization. The purpose is to see who has the most active studio. Both the instructors and students take part in the event! It’s bragging rights at the highest level!

TOC is also the one time each year your dance teachers can be recognized by the worldwide organization. They put in a lot of hard work and tons of energy to help create a fantastic dance experience for Y-O-U!

 

TOC runs for 6 weeks (this year is Nov. 6th – Dec. 16th). While it is an organization-wide event, each studio has a unique way of engaging its students! Each studio creates its own theme and plans out special-themed events over the course of the 6 weeks. Lake Mary’s theme this year is… DANCING AROUND THE WORLD!
