Arthur Murray Dance Studio

I started at Arthur Murray dance studio just under a year ago. I walked in with no dance knowledge, a flagrant ignorance of rhythm and music, and a vague hope that I could walk out in 2 – 3 weeks and tear it up in whatever dance club I found myself in.
Ten months later I still attend Arthur Murray and my dancing abilities have improved tremendously. While I was still stepping on people’s feet three weeks after I started, Kaitie and Juan’s patient teaching style allowed me to progress and see improvement nearly every week I went.
There’s several reasons I like Arthur Murray over other dance scenes in the area: 1) There are a LOT of group lessons, more than any other studio I could find in the area. The group lessons are really key to practice what you learn with your instructor in private lessons. 2.) I traveled for business a lot, and you can drop into any Arthur Murray studio in the world if you’re a student at another. I loved being able to walk into a place I’d never been but knowing what to do because the material taught was the same. 3.) A proven method. Arthur Murray was the first franchised ballroom dance studio and it shows, the teaching methods work.
Thanks to Juan and Kaitie, I have a new passion and hobby in life, and while I’ve barely scratched the surface, I am at the point now where I can dance my way through (almost) any situation thrown at me.

My boyfriend and I took a private dance lesson here and received a sampling of dances, including the rumba, foxtrot, waltz, tango, and swing. It was absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I were laughing and smiling the whole time. Our instructors, Tara and Tommy, were fabulous and really made it an enjoyable experience. I can’t wait to take another dance class!

My fiancé and I took a series of classes here to prepare for our wedding and I could not have been happier with our decision. Juan and Kaitie are incredible instructors. From the first day they made us feel like part of their dancing family, even the regular students were warm and welcoming. By the second class we were on hugging terms and laughing during our entire 45 minutes (which went by way too fast). We learned so much in our 6 classes and our favorite part was Juan’s efforts to not only help us perfect our wedding dance, but also to teach us a variety of other dances so that we feel comfortable on any dance floor. I would encourage anyone to take classes here and I am sad that we are moving — otherwise I would want to be a regular at this place.

I loved my classes at Arthur Murray. Everyone was very talented and so much fun. I learned basics to many great dances and I’m looking forward to my next class!
