Rabbi and Animal Chaplain Mikhail Salita honors rare Jerusalem-origin cats as “Heirs to King Solomon’s Feline Throne”
BROOKLYN, NY — A golden cat on an ancient king’s throne has inspired a new promise of care for a rare breed from Jerusalem. Rabbi and Animal Chaplain Mikhail Salita has announced the establishment of the Royal House of Kanaani, a cultural and preservation initiative proclaiming Kanaani cats “Heirs to King Solomon’s Feline Throne.”
The initiative is led by the World Kanaani Organization, affiliated with the Brooklyn-based Salita Foundation. It brings together Jewish tradition, the breed’s Jerusalem heritage, and a commitment to helping these cats survive for future generations.
The Kanaani breed was developed in Jerusalem by artist and Holocaust survivor Doris Pollatschek. Her contribution stands at the beginning of its modern story, and honoring her work is central to the Royal House’s mission.
“Doris Pollatschek gave this breed a beginning,” Salita said. “Our responsibility is to help ensure that its story continues.”
The Royal House takes its inspiration from Jewish accounts of King Solomon’s throne. In Midrashic literature—Jewish writings that interpret and expand upon sacred texts—a golden cat faces a golden rooster on the throne’s fifth step. For Salita, the cat’s place on the throne of a king remembered for his wisdom carries a meaning worth bringing into the present.
“I see the golden cat on Solomon’s throne as an invitation to carry a feline royal tradition forward,” Salita said. “The Kanaani’s Jerusalem roots give that symbolism a living expression today. As an ordained rabbi and ordained animal chaplain, I feel a duty to honor that connection through care. That is why we are establishing the Royal House of Kanaani and proclaiming these cats Heirs to King Solomon’s Feline Throne.”

Salita understands this work as part of a long Jewish tradition of responsibility toward animals. Bereshit (Genesis), the opening book of the Torah, describes animals and birds being created before humankind. Adam names the animals. Noah preserves their lives. Moses and David tend flocks before becoming leaders. Jewish tradition also remembers Solomon’s understanding of the language of animals.
“These stories have stayed with us across generations,” Salita said. “They teach us to notice the lives entrusted to us. In my own life, that responsibility has become very close and very personal: these are cats I feed, hold, worry about, and care for every day.”
The initiative also draws on a teaching in the Talmud, a central collection of Jewish wisdom and rabbinic discussion, that people can learn modesty from the cat. Salita finds a particular resonance between that teaching and the Kanaani’s little-known history.
“To me, the Kanaani is the most modest of all cat breeds. It has remained largely overlooked by breeders, and I believe that lack of attention has contributed to its extraordinary rarity. Today, seven documented Kanaani cats are in my care,” he said.
“I see their modesty as a mark of royalty. They do not need popularity to possess dignity. But being overlooked must not become a sentence of disappearance. When I say ‘modesty is royalty,’ I mean that their quiet dignity deserves to be recognized—and their future deserves our care.”

The World Kanaani Organization welcomes cultural partnerships, institutional support, and sponsorships to advance breed preservation and educational projects exploring Jewish heritage and the human–animal bond.
“The royal titles are a promise we must live up to,” Salita said. “We will remember where these cats came from, honor the woman who developed their breed, and do the daily work of caring for them. The next chapter of their story is ours to protect.”

Updated October 8 research covers 19 sectors, sponsor tiers, published locations, websites and LinkedIn links.
Las Vegas, California, October 8, 2026,ZEX PR WIRE — TechCurrent, an independent B2B technology research publication, has updated its Money20/20 USA 2026 sponsor analysis using 452 public sponsor-directory profiles. The update replaces an earlier 312-record snapshot and includes a downloadable company-level CSV.
Payments & Payments Technology accounts for 104 records (23.0%), followed by Software / IT / Cloud Services with 90 (19.9%). Combined, they represent 194 of the 452 sponsor records, or 42.9%. The third-largest group, Data, Analytics & AI, has 67 records (14.8%). These three directory categories together account for 57.7%.
What the updated research includes
The snapshot covers 452 distinct displayed company names and sponsor profile URLs across 19 organizer-defined sectors. Entries may include separate brands or subsidiaries, so they should not be read as 452 independent corporate groups.
Five selected infrastructure categories — payments, software/IT/cloud, banking, regulatory technology and cybersecurity — account for 272 records (60.2%). This is an editorial grouping, not a measure of sector demand.
Public profiles list event locations for 388 records, company websites for 422 and LinkedIn pages for 402. The downloadable CSV keeps missing fields blank rather than guessing.
The report lists six organizer-defined sponsorship tiers and links to official profiles. Its earlier 312-record snapshot remains a dated baseline; the expanded capture does not prove new sponsor registrations or market growth.
Practical reference for fintech event research
Financial technology leaders, attendees and researchers can use the report to compare categories and locate sponsors. Readers should verify vendor products and event locations with official sources.
TechCurrent publishes B2B technology research, industry event intelligence, company profiles and curated shortlists across fintech, AI, software and enterprise technology. Its research uses dated public sources and states its methods and limitations.

Trace, the onchain registry for rights-cleared AI training data with more than 250 million verifiable receipts, brings its training data to Sui and Walrus to power the next generation of AI models.
Sui Foundation and The DATA Foundation today announced that the DATA Network and its Trace registry are joining the Sui stack, bringing a live supply of rights-cleared AI training data onto the infrastructure Sui has built for AI workloads. Walrus, the data platform with integrity proofs anchored on Sui, becomes the default storage layer for applications operated by DATA Foundation. Separately, the DATA Network will be upgraded to run as a protocol natively on Sui.
The upgrade gives AI labs a single place to source real-world training data they are allowed to use, with its provenance recorded by Trace and the original file stored and access-controlled on Walrus.
The data AI needs next
The next generation of AI models is constrained by access to real-world data. The open internet has been scraped, and the data that comes next must be sourced from people, with consent and with provenance that regulators and legal teams will accept. The EU AI Act and ongoing litigation over training data have made provenance a procurement requirement for labs.
The data those models need sits with people rather than on the open web: a nurse describing a patient’s night in her own words, a dashcam recording of a rainy commute in Jakarta, a factory technician’s hands as they diagnose a fault, or a customer call conducted in Bengali. It is personal and often regulated, and it belongs to the people who generated it.
Trace, launched by DATA Foundation in June as an onchain registry for AI training data, was built for exactly this kind of data. It records the origin of each contribution and the rights attached to it, and settles payment to the person who contributed it. It has registered more than 250 million contributions since launch and now processes over 3M receipts per day on average. Applications writing to Trace include Kled, the largest opt-in human data marketplace with over 1.5 billion records being onboarded, along with Numo and Oto, applications that already license data to frontier AI labs and robotics companies.
Why Sui and Walrus
Sui represents every asset as a programmable object, allowing datasets and their licenses to be managed onchain like tokens. Independent transactions execute in parallel and settle in under a second, making the network capable of handling millions of daily registrations. Walrus extends this capability to large files: it stores massive AI datasets efficiently and ensures data is only readable by licensed buyers. No other network offers storage, access control, and ownership tracking built natively into a single ecosystem, together with verifiable compute.
Trace now adds a flagship supply of rights-cleared data, with existing demand from the AI labs that license it today. The result of the integration will be stronger provenance guarantees and tamper evidence. Today a Trace record proves that a file was registered and when, and with Walrus, Trace will be able to hold an encrypted, immutable copy of the contributed file itself as a reference guarantee. The hash of the record can be regenerated from the data itself rather than from metadata an application supplied, and any later processing of the file can be checked against the original.
The upgrade is backed by a long-term strategic investment. Sui Foundation is investing $30 million in the DATA Network, establishing the largest institutional stake in the network, alongside the continuing holdings of PIP Labs and the DATA Foundation. Furthering the alignment, SY Lee, Chairman of Poseidon and CEO of PIP Labs, joins Sui Foundation as Strategic Advisor.
The protocol upgrade
DATA Network will be upgraded to run as a protocol natively on Sui, and its independent chain will be retired. $DATA continues as the token of the DATA protocol on Sui, carried over one-to-one, with holder economics and governance rights at least equivalent to today. Locked and vesting positions carry over unchanged. In parallel, Walrus becomes the default storage layer for DATA Foundation applications.
Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui and Walrus, said: “The AI industry has reached the point where the open internet has been read, and the next frontier is defined by access to datasets with the consent and provenance that regulators require. Sui and Walrus were built to be the home where AI data is stored, licensed, and paid for, capable of operating at the scale these systems demand. The migration of DATA Network and Trace to our stack now brings massive volumes of high-quality, rights-cleared data that is already serving the world’s frontier AI labs.”
SY Lee, Chairman of Poseidon and CEO of PIP Labs, said: “The next generation of AI will be trained on data that lives with people rather than on the open web, and that data needs consent and provenance built in, along with a way to pay the people it comes from, and Trace was built to be that layer. It now becomes part of the Sui stack alongside Walrus, backed by one of the strongest engineering organizations in the industry and with Sui Foundation as the network’s largest strategic holder. This is the right home for the network we built, and I am looking forward to helping Sui make it the data layer for AI.”
Andrea Muttoni, CEO of DATA Foundation, said: “Training data is critical for continuously expanding the frontier, and making sure it is traceable, auditable and cleared to use is just as important for AI safety as it is a precursor for data quality. With Trace, we have been tracking hundreds of millions of data assets. Joining forces with Sui now allows us to build out more of the stack, offering more than just an audit trail, like encrypted reference file storage and potentially fully verifiable TEEs for evals and fine tunings in the future.”
The existing DATA Network will continue to operate until the upgrade is complete, and a detailed timeline and holder transition plan will be published prior to the upgrade.

The magazine publishes editions that examine the experiences, practices and ideas shaping professional and creative activities.
Netherlands, 10th Oct 2026 — The Malmö Project, presented by Audrius Razma under the Project Funds Manager designation at Ossendrecht Contract, outlines an approach to business project proposal development, investment-related research, and the coordination of professional support services. The initiative is documented on the project’s online platform, where readers can explore its stated objectives and the resources associated with its activities.
The project information is published on the website of Audrius Razma and references Malmö as the focus of its business proposal activities. It describes the use of publicly available company information to develop commercial project proposals that may be presented to businesses for consideration and potential financing.
Business Research and Project Proposal Development
A central element of the Malmö Project is the preparation of business proposals informed by company information. The published material encourages readers to examine lists of businesses identified as potential investment opportunities and use relevant information to develop structured project proposals.
Business proposal development typically involves understanding a company’s activities, identifying potential commercial opportunities, assessing resource requirements, and presenting a clear rationale for a proposed initiative. A well-organized proposal can help prospective business partners evaluate the purpose, feasibility, and expected costs of a project before deciding whether to participate.
The project’s stated approach places emphasis on commercial awareness and the preparation of written material based on available business information. Such work requires careful research, transparent assumptions, and clear documentation of any projected financial outcomes.
Companies and individuals considering a proposal should independently verify the information used, assess the associated risks, and establish the terms of any potential funding arrangement before making financial commitments.
The Role of Project Funds Management
Audrius Razma is identified in the published material as the Project Funds Manager associated with Ossendrecht Contract. The role provides an administrative framework for the project’s discussion of funding proposals, portfolio documentation, and financial coordination.
Project funds management generally involves organizing financial records, documenting proposed allocations, monitoring project-related expenditures, and maintaining information that supports financial reviews. These activities can help stakeholders understand how a project is structured and what resources may be required for its implementation.
Clear documentation is particularly important when proposals involve multiple companies, external service providers, or prospective funding partners. Written agreements, verifiable records, and clearly defined responsibilities can help establish expectations and support informed decision-making.
Professional Support and Documentation
The online material also references professional services relating to legal assessments, translation, accounting reviews, investigative research, and the preparation of supporting reports. These services are presented as potential resources for individuals seeking assistance with complex administrative, financial, or legal matters.
Depending on the circumstances, professional support may help individuals organize documents, understand procedural requirements, review financial information, or prepare materials for consultation with qualified advisers.
Legal matters involving compensation claims, business liabilities, insolvency, or disputes with public authorities require an assessment of the relevant facts and applicable law. Outcomes depend on the evidence, jurisdiction, and individual circumstances. Individuals should therefore seek advice from appropriately qualified professionals before relying on potential compensation estimates or pursuing legal action.
Similarly, investment proposals should be reviewed carefully, with attention to the identity of the parties involved, the source and availability of funds, the proposed terms, and any associated risks.
Accessing Information About the Malmö Project
The project page provides the primary reference for readers interested in reviewing the Malmö Project’s published information. It outlines the proposal-development concept and identifies the associated project-management contact.
The initiative is presented in the context of business research, funding-related documentation, and coordination with professional service providers. Its practical application will depend on the details of individual proposals, the reliability of supporting information, and the terms agreed upon by the relevant parties.
Readers can consult the published page to learn more about the project’s stated approach and determine whether further clarification is required before entering into any business or financial arrangement.

The Bucharest performance consultancy becomes an authorised LeaderCoreAI partner and reseller for Romania and Central and Eastern Europe
Romania, 10th Oct 2026 – Lovering & Partners, the Bucharest-based business, sales and people performance consultancy, now offers AI role-play for leadership, sales and influence skills through a partnership with Blue Horizon Training, the maker and owner of LeaderCoreAI. Lovering & Partners becomes an authorised LeaderCoreAI partner and reseller for Romania and the wider Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region.
AI role-play simulations for difficult conversations
LeaderCoreAI is an artificial intelligence (AI) simulation platform for leadership development. Participants hold spoken, realistic conversations with AI characters – a resistant team member, a sceptical client, a room of peer managers with competing agendas. Each session ends with scored feedback and concrete recommendations.
Lovering & Partners will embed the platform into three of its own areas of work: leadership coaching and its acceleration programme for emerging leaders and managers, consultative sales training, and its ethical influence programmes. Between workshops and coaching sessions, participants practise the conversations those programmes prepare them for. They can repeat a conversation as often as they want, at five levels of difficulty.
Why practice decides whether training sticks
Pilots train to excellence in flight simulators before they carry passengers. Managers rarely get that chance. Role-play with colleagues offers a few attempts, limited by time and by the discomfort of practising in front of people they work with. So the first real test of a new skill usually comes in a real conversation, with a real person. The partnership brings the simulator into Lovering & Partners’ programmes.
“A workshop gives people the method. It does not give them the repetitions to build new capabilities,” said Colin Lovering, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lovering & Partners. “Every client asks us the same question: will this training build skills that stick? No trainer can honestly guarantee that. Under pressure, people fall back on old instincts unless the new behaviour has been practised until it becomes the instinct. Now our clients’ people can get that practice, as much as they need.”
“We build the practice ground,” said Frank Basinski, founder of Blue Horizon Training. “We rely on partners who know how to develop people. Colin and his team have spent years doing that work with organisations in Romania and across the region. That is why we wanted them as a partner.”
How a learner experiences an AI role-play session
For the learner, a session feels like the real conversation. They speak, and the characters answer back, disagree and react to how they are treated. Nobody is watching, so people try approaches they would perhaps not dare with a real colleague. The feedback afterwards is theirs alone: what worked, what did not, and what to try next time. Participants can practise in 42 languages, so Lovering & Partners can offer the platform to multinational clients across the region.
Availability
LeaderCoreAI is available through Lovering & Partners with immediate effect, as part of its programmes or alongside them.
About Lovering & Partners
Lovering & Partners is a business, sales and people performance consultancy based in Bucharest, Romania. The firm helps organisations achieve strategic growth in those three areas. Every engagement is tailored to the client and measured by the outcome it delivers. Lovering & Partners is a founding member of the Cialdini Institute and works in English and Romanian.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Boca Raton continues its teaching tradition with private lessons, group classes, and practice parties that help dancers build confidence.
BOCA RATON, FL – Arthur Murray Dance Studio Boca Raton continues its longstanding teaching tradition with Ballroom Dance Lessons Boca Raton, FL built around a three-step method combining private lessons, group classes, and practice parties. The approach gives students multiple opportunities to learn new movements, reinforce their skills, and practice dancing in social settings.
Beginners can start with essential fundamentals, while experienced dancers can continue improving their technique, versatility, and confidence. The studio welcomes singles and couples learning for weddings, social occasions, recreation, fitness, or simply to enjoy dancing.
The Arthur Murray Method Combines Three Ways to Learn
The Arthur Murray Method combines private instruction, group classes, and practice parties to create a connected learning experience. Private lessons let instructors focus on individual goals, movements, and areas where a student may need extra guidance. Group classes provide another opportunity to reinforce patterns and techniques while learning alongside other dancers. Practice parties then give students a social environment where they can apply what they have learned and become more comfortable using their skills.
Each part of the method supports the others rather than functioning as a separate learning experience. A movement introduced during private instruction can be practiced again in a group class and later used with different music or partners at a practice party. Repeating skills in different settings can make movements more familiar and easier to recall when students dance outside a formal lesson. Over time, this combination can help dancers develop both practical ability and greater confidence.
Beginners Can Start Without Previous Dance Experience
Many people hesitate to try ballroom dancing because they believe they lack rhythm, coordination, or natural dancing ability. Arthur Murray’s teaching approach lets beginners start with manageable fundamentals instead of expecting them to perform complicated routines immediately. Students can work on basic timing, movement, posture, leading, following, and partner connection before progressing to more advanced techniques. These foundational skills can support several different ballroom and social dance styles.
Lessons can also progress at a pace appropriate for the student’s current ability and objectives. Someone preparing for an upcoming social event may have different priorities from a person who wants to make dancing a long-term hobby. Instructors can adapt the learning process to those goals while helping students identify areas that need more practice. This lets beginners focus on steady progress rather than comparing themselves with more experienced dancers.
Private Lessons Provide Personalized Instruction
Individual attention is an important part of the three-step teaching method. Students taking private dance lessons Boca Raton, FL can work directly with an instructor on movements and techniques connected to their specific goals. The instructor can observe how the student moves, answer questions, and spend extra time on skills that need more practice. This focused format can benefit complete beginners and experienced dancers looking to improve specific aspects of their technique.
Private instruction can also evolve as a student’s interests and abilities develop. Someone who initially wants to become more comfortable at parties may later decide to explore additional ballroom, Latin, or social dance styles. Another student may be preparing for a special event and need instruction centered on a particular type of music or dance. Personalized lessons give instructors flexibility to keep the learning plan connected to what the student wants to accomplish.
Group Classes and Practice Parties Reinforce Skills
Learning steps during a private lesson is only one part of becoming comfortable on the dance floor. Group classes let students reinforce skills while getting comfortable dancing around others in a structured environment. They can practice timing, patterns, and techniques while seeing how familiar movements work within a broader class setting. This additional experience can help students become less dependent on practicing with only one instructor or partner.
Practice parties add another layer by creating opportunities to use dance skills in a more social setting. Students can experience different music, partners, and situations that more closely resemble the environments where social dancing naturally occurs. This can help bridge the gap between knowing a step during instruction and feeling comfortable using it when the music starts at an event. Repeated opportunities to practice can gradually make dancing feel more familiar and adaptable.
Wedding Dance Lessons Help Couples Prepare Together
Weddings bring many couples into a dance studio for the first time. Couples exploring wedding dance lessons Boca Raton, FL may want help preparing their first dance, becoming more comfortable moving together, or learning useful skills for the reception. Instruction can consider the couple’s chosen song, experience level, available preparation time, and preferred style. This allows the learning process to reflect the couple’s wedding plans instead of giving every pair the same routine.
Some couples prefer a simple and natural-looking first dance, while others want choreography, turns, transitions, or a more structured performance. Lessons can focus on timing, leading, following, partner connection, and movements that complement the selected music. Couples can practice gradually so the dance becomes increasingly familiar as the wedding approaches. The objective is to help them feel prepared enough to enjoy the moment rather than spending it worrying about the next step.
Dancing Can Add More to Everyday Social Experiences
People begin dancing for reasons that extend beyond learning steps or preparing for a single event. Some appreciate the social interaction and community that can develop around lessons, classes, and practice parties, while others enjoy dancing as an active recreational pursuit. Couples may use lessons as an opportunity to spend time together while developing a shared skill. Dance experience can also make parties, vacations, celebrations, and other social occasions more enjoyable.
“People come to us with different goals, but everyone deserves a learning experience that makes dancing feel achievable and enjoyable,” said Brooke Reyes, contact person for Arthur Murray Dance Studio Boca Raton. “By combining personalized instruction, group learning, and opportunities to practice socially, students can develop useful skills while becoming more comfortable applying them in real situations.” The three-step method provides several ways for students to reinforce what they learn rather than depending on one type of instruction. This can help turn individual patterns and techniques into practical skills students feel more prepared to use.
Continuing a Longstanding Dance Tradition in Boca Raton
Arthur Murray has spent generations developing methods for teaching ballroom and social dancing to people with different backgrounds and experience levels. Today, the Arthur Murray network includes studios around the world while continuing its longstanding focus on helping people learn partner dancing. Arthur Murray Dance Studio Boca Raton brings this established teaching approach to students in Boca Raton, FL, and surrounding communities. Local students can begin as complete beginners or continue developing skills they have learned through previous dance experience.
Social dancing remains part of weddings, parties, celebrations, travel, and many other occasions where people come together. Developing ballroom and social dance skills can therefore provide students with abilities they can continue using long after a particular class or event ends. The combination of instruction and social practice helps connect what students learn in the studio with situations where they may actually want to dance. This makes lessons relevant whether a student is preparing for an important occasion or learning simply because dancing is something they have always wanted to try.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland welcomes singles and couples with beginner-friendly dance lessons designed to build practical skills, confidence, and enjoyment.
PARKLAND, FL– Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland is making Ballroom Dance Lessons Parkland, FL more accessible to singles and couples by providing a welcoming environment where students can learn regardless of previous experience or whether they have a dance partner. The studio encourages people who have always wanted to dance but may have felt hesitant about getting started to discover an approachable way to learn.
Instruction helps students gradually build practical skills, confidence, and comfort on the dance floor. By welcoming people with different goals and experience levels, the studio aims to make dancing an enjoyable activity that more members of the Parkland community can explore.
No Dance Partner Is Required to Get Started
One concern prospective students often have is whether they need to bring a partner to dance lessons. Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland welcomes individuals and couples, so people can begin learning even if they don’t have someone available to attend lessons with them. Students can work with instructors to learn timing, movement, leading, following, and other fundamentals of partner dancing. This gives individuals the opportunity to begin their dance journey without waiting to find a partner.
Couples are equally welcome when they want to learn a shared skill, spend time together, or prepare for an upcoming occasion. Instruction can be adapted to each student’s experience, interests, and reasons for learning rather than expecting everyone to progress in exactly the same way. Singles and couples can develop skills for weddings, parties, date nights, vacations, and other social occasions where dancing may be part of the experience. The focus is on helping students make steady progress while enjoying the learning process.
Beginners Can Build Dance Skills One Step at a Time
Starting a new activity can feel intimidating, especially when it involves moving in front of other people. Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland works with beginners by introducing dance skills progressively and building from manageable fundamentals. Students can build rhythm, footwork, posture, partner connection, and basic patterns before moving on to more detailed techniques. This structured approach can make ballroom and social dancing easier to understand for people starting with little or no previous experience.
Students also arrive with different goals, so their learning experiences don’t have to look identical. One person may want enough confidence to participate at social events, while another may want to learn several ballroom or Latin dance styles. Others may simply want an enjoyable activity that combines movement, social interaction, and the challenge of developing a new skill. Instructors can use those individual goals to help shape how each student progresses.
Private Dance Lessons Provide Personalized Attention
Students who want focused instruction can explore private dance lessons Parkland, FL designed around their individual abilities and objectives. Private lessons let instructors observe movement closely, answer questions, and spend extra time on skills that may require more practice. Students can work on timing, technique, patterns, leading, following, or overall confidence at a pace appropriate for their current level. The personalized setting can benefit complete beginners and dancers who want to refine skills they already have.
Individual instruction can also change as a student’s interests and abilities develop. Someone who initially wants to feel more comfortable at a party may later decide to explore additional ballroom or social dance styles. Another student may have a particular event approaching and want to concentrate on the movements most useful for that occasion. This flexibility keeps lessons connected to what each person wants to achieve, rather than placing every student on the same learning path.
Wedding Dance Lessons Help Couples Prepare Together
Weddings are one of the occasions that inspire many people to enter a dance studio for the first time. Couples interested in wedding dance lessons Parkland, FL can receive instruction based on their selected song, previous experience, preparation time, and vision for their first dance. Some couples want something simple and natural, while others may prefer turns, transitions, or more detailed choreography. Lessons can be adapted so the final dance reflects the couple’s comfort level and the atmosphere they want to create.
Preparing together can help couples become more comfortable moving as partners before their wedding day arrives. Lessons may focus on timing, leading, following, partner connection, and movements that work naturally with the selected music. Repeated practice can make the dance more familiar so couples can spend less time worrying about the next step during their reception. The skills they develop may also be useful at future weddings, celebrations, and other occasions where they can dance together.
An Inclusive Community Makes Dancing More Approachable
Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland aims to create an environment where students from different backgrounds and experience levels can feel comfortable learning. For beginners, being around other people who are developing their own skills can make the process feel less intimidating. Students can discover that ballroom dancing is not limited to experienced performers or people who already consider themselves naturally coordinated. Instead, it can become an enjoyable social and recreational activity developed through instruction, practice, and continued participation.
“We want people to know that they do not need previous experience or even a dance partner to begin,” said Luci, contact person for Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland. “Our goal is to give each student a welcoming place to learn at a comfortable pace, develop useful dance skills, and build the confidence to enjoy dancing when opportunities come along.” This inclusive approach lets students focus on their goals instead of worrying about what they think they should already know. It also gives people who have previously felt unsure about taking dance lessons a more comfortable way to get started.
Dance Skills Can Add More Enjoyment to Social Experiences
Learning to dance can provide value beyond time spent in the studio. Students may use their skills at weddings, parties, vacations, date nights, community gatherings, and other occasions where music and dancing are part of the experience. Greater familiarity with basic movement and partner dancing can make those situations feel more inviting and less intimidating. For some students, dancing may also become a long-term recreational interest and a way to connect with others.
Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland serves students throughout Parkland, FL, who have many different reasons for wanting to learn. Some are preparing for an important event, while others want to try something new, spend meaningful time with a partner, or become more comfortable socially.

As their abilities grow, students can continue exploring different dances, developing techniques, and setting new goals.

Trade pricing starts at a single set, with UL-certified, pre-wired letters and free shipping nationwide, including direct to job sites
LEXINGTON, Ky.,October 10,2026 – ChannelLetter.com, a manufacturer of custom channel letters and illuminated signage, today announced that its factory-direct wholesale program is open to sign shops, brokers, and resellers with no minimum order. Any business in the sign trade can now order a single set of channel letters at trade pricing, with sharper terms available to volume buyers and repeat accounts.
Building channel letters in-house is expensive for most sign shops. It requires a channel letter bender, a router, trim cap and LED inventory, and a skilled fabricator on staff. For shops that mainly handle surveys, permits, and installations, buying wholesale from a dedicated manufacturer is often the more practical choice. ChannelLetter.com builds each set to specification in its own facility, wires and tests it, and ships it to the shop or directly to the job site at no shipping cost.
“Sign shops should not need to buy equipment or hire a fabricator to say yes to a channel letter job,” said Nischal Pradhan of ChannelLetter.com. “We build the letters, test them, and ship them. The shop quotes the job, installs it, and keeps the margin. Opening our wholesale pricing to a single set means a shop can try us on one project before committing to more.”
Savings for sign shops
ChannelLetter.com reports that sign shops typically save 30 to 40 percent compared with sourcing from local fabricators. As an example, a typical storefront set that retails for around $3,000 through the traditional supply chain runs roughly $1,500 to $1,800 factory-direct. Final pricing depends on overall size, number of letters, lighting style, and mounting method, whether flush, raceway, or backer panel. Customers can upload artwork or a photo of the storefront through the company’s quote form, or build the sign visually in its online sign designer, and receive a firm wholesale price, usually the same business day.
Built for installers
Every illuminated set is UL certified, with UL-listed LED modules and power supplies, so inspectors see the listing mark and permit approval is smoother. Sets carry a 2-year warranty on LEDs and power supplies, which shops can pass along to their own customers. Each order arrives pre-wired, pre-tested, and labeled, with a full-size 1:1 mounting pattern, wiring diagram, and mounting hardware matched to the wall type or raceway. Fabricated letters use metal returns and backs with UV-stable acrylic faces and trim cap. Every sign is inspected before it leaves the facility. If anything is damaged in transit, the company replaces it at no extra charge.
Wholesale ordering process
The process has five steps: request a quote, receive a firm wholesale price, approve the production proof, wait while the letters are fabricated and tested, then receive the crated shipment. Orders are delivered in 15 business days. ChannelLetter.com ships free to all 50 states and can deliver directly to the job site with no branding that identifies it as the manufacturer. The company also matches brand colors to a customer’s specified paint, vinyl, or acrylic reference as closely as the selected material allows.
Full product range
The wholesale program covers face-lit, reverse-lit (halo), combo-lit, and RGB channel letters, along with lightbox and cabinet signs and non-illuminated metal letters. This allows shops to source most of an exterior sign package from one manufacturer.
Who the program serves
The program is designed for sign shops that install but do not fabricate, or whose fabrication queue is backed up, and for sign brokers and project managers running multi-location rollouts who want one manufacturer instead of many local vendors. It also serves print and graphics shops expanding into dimensional and illuminated signage, and general contractors responsible for tenant signage. About half of ChannelLetter.com’s production already runs through sign shops and resellers, and some customers order monthly. The company does not contact or market to its trade customers’ end clients.
ChannelLetter.com manufactures custom channel letters and illuminated signage for sign shops, resellers, and businesses across the United States. Its product line includes face-lit, back-lit, front-and-back-lit, and RGB LED channel letters, lightbox signs, and metal letters. Learn more at https://www.channelletter.com.
