Did You Know? Featuring Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Plano instructor, Charlie Dee!

All About Charlie

Charlie has been with us in the Plano studio since 2011, but his experience with dance goes way back! He has taught for everything from cotillion to beauty pageants in his years of dancing. Charlie's laugh and warm smile make him fun to learn from! He relocated from sunny Florida to work at our studios and has quickly made Texas his new home!


Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Food: Italian
Favorite Movie(s): Avengers, The Color Purple, Titanic
Favorite Dance: Swing

Charlie started dancing when he was just 7 years old. But he wasn't a dance teacher right from the start! His first job was as a stock boy at his father's auto parts store in New York. He also put in time as a server before finding his calling as a dance teacher. He says that what he loves most about teaching people is making people smile and showing them they can have fun while learning. He says if he were to do any other job he would be a Life Coach or a Counselor.

He enjoys traveling, gardening, and visiting the park. Spring is his favorite season because of all the beautiful colors and the weather. He enjoys being around people with a good sense of humor. He says that he is inspired by music, his family, friends, and church. He is scared of Gina yelling in his ear! :) And he gets teary eyed when he feels homesick or when he sees someone get an award for a good deed.

If he could go anywhere in the world he would visit Africa. The funniest thing that has ever happened to him was that he used to fall down a lot in front of people. (Random Gravity Checks) The bravest thing he ever did was save a lady and her purse from a purse-snatcher! Way to go, Charlie!

His quote to live by is...
He's not Italian or anything!
