Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios Announces Opening of Franchise in Beirut, Lebanon

    LONGMEADOW, MA, May 05, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios (FADS), headquartered in Longmeadow, Massachusetts (USA) announced this week the opening of their Beirut, Lebanon dance studio.

CEO and President Jack Rothweiler said the opening "marks an important milestone for both the company and Beirut." As the capitol and cultural center of Lebanon, the city has a thriving night life and a vibrant social and ballroom dance scene (as evidenced by the numerous independent ballroom dance studios) which the fastest-growing dance studio franchise would like to tap into.

Marwan Jammal, a native of Beirut, will run the daily operations of the studio along with his business partner, Guitta Dabdab. A competitive ballroom dancer for over a decade, Jammal taught dance for a number of years and has an extensive background in fashion retailing. As the newest studio owner and franchisee in the FADS organization, Jammal initially was attracted to the U.S.-based company's philosophy, teaching methods, and naturally -- its iconic namesake.

The studio offers instruction in smooth and rhythm styles which are the basis of classic dances such as Tango, Cha-Cha-Cha, Waltz, Foxtrot and Swing.
