Mary Murphy Biography

Mary Murphy spent most of her free time after school and on weekends participating in athletics such as track and field basketball volleyball and football. Mary graduated from Northwest High School in Canal Fulton Ohio. Shortly after graduating from Ohio University with a degree in Physical Education and a minor in modern dance Mary moved to Washington D.C. where looking for a summer job she answered an ad in the newspaper; a local studio was recruiting trainees to become instructors. The turning point came when the owner of the dance studio invited her to attend the United States Ballroom Championships in New York City. At that moment Mary realized that ballroom dancing was more than just job for her - she no longer felt the desire to spend the rest of her life as a modern dancer performing alone. While continuing to teach for the studio she sought out the best instructors in the area and began her competitive dance training. Her search for a suitable dance partner lead her across the country to Southern California. Although the partnership ultimately did not prove to be viable she decided to make California her home. In April 1990 Mary opened the doors to Champion Ballroom Academy in the heart of downtown San Diego. Her vision partly driven by her own needs as a competitor in training was to provide the very best facility for competitive dance education while at the same time creating a school where students and teachers alike would feel a sense of comfort and community as they sought to improve their dancing skills.
