Circus bears untrained in the art of dance are often the least popular big-top attraction, falling somewhere between the bearded lady and a slice of stale rye bread on a pedestal. Ensure an appearance in the spotlight with today's deal: for $60, you get three dance lessons (two private lessons and one group lesson) and a practice party at Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios (a $150 value). This Groupon is valid at locations in Portland, Vancouver, and Beaverton.

A panel of certified instructors is ready and waiting to instruct students of all levels in the ways of balance and coordinated rhythmic motion. Bring a partner to your three lessons, or fly solo and dance with your instructor. In either case, you'll leave with a greater understanding of the dance style of your choosing. Stick to a stately waltz, spicy up life with a rumba, or feel vibrant and playful with a few swing steps in your personal repertoire. Finally, a practice party builds danseuses’ confidence, supplying a supportive space for busting newly acquired moves. Whether you're an experienced dancer hoping to brush up on certain techniques or you have two left feet for feet and two right feet for hands, the lessons at Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios offer bountiful, dance-based benefits.

Arthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when an entrepreneur, also coincidentally named Arthur Murray, began selling mail-order dance lessons. Over the course of the following century, the company grew and expanded internationally to become the cavorting juggernaut that it is today. The Portland-area studios provide a warm, aesthetically sound environment for engaging in private and group dance lessons superbly suited to slicing and dicing a rug until it is no longer recognizable.

Though Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios

Arthur Murray Dance Studio has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.

The Groupon Guide to: Liquid Lunches

If you're unable to chew solid food due to recent dental surgery, a psychological dependency on a prosthetic ape mask, or the weekday restrictions of your brother and your "Secret Twin Religion," a liquid lunch might literally become just what the doctor ordered. Stave off malnourishment with one of the following low-viscosity meals:

  • Soup: Although invented accidentally during a devastating pantry flood and heat wave, soup is now an agreed-upon starter, side dish, and even main course, as the canned-goods aisle becomes increasingly dominated by hearty "man's man" soups such as Loaded Baked Potato, Chunky Steak & Nacho, and the most popular canned soup of 2010, Beer.

  • Smoothies: If a tiny voice inside you begs you to eat healthier, try freezing it and drowning it by knocking back one of these refreshingly pulverized purees of ice, fruit, and your choice of Secret Energy Powder. Which one will give you the confidence to finally get banned from the gym?

  • Baby Food: No teeth, coordinated motor skills, or short-term memory of an object once it's been dropped on the floor? No problem! Baby food is specially designed to contain all the nutrients babies need throughout their busy days, giving them the energy to stare at the ceiling fan, develop an unspoken kinship with the dog, or grow fungus-like whiskers all over their cheeks.

Is your baby covered with mold—right now?

  • I look forward to my daily trips to the studio and I am just as excited every day to go as I was the first day I stepped through those doors.
