Absolutely Wonderful Ballroom Dance Studio
I have been going to Arthur Murray Seattle for about 6 months now. I have met and danced with each and every member of the team here and can say with certainty that they are the most positive group of welcoming people I have ever met. They do a fantastic job of bringing you in, getting you started and building your confidence, regardless of previous experience. And of course the non-instructor members of the team are friendly and helpful as well. I spent 30 years on the borders of dance floors because I felt foolish and didn't know what to do. After

A super fun place to learn ballroom dancing! I moved to Seattle from NYC recently and have been wanting to learn ballroom dancing for ever. Lucky to have found Arthur Murray. The studio is located at an easily accessible location and all instructors I have spoken to are super fun.

The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, great energy at the studio, and their personalized approach makes it easy to learn. They create an atmosphere that makes it welcoming for new dancers, and I highly recommend giving them a try. I must give a shout-out to my favorite instructor - Bella...she is amazing, I've learned a lot from her and her energy is contagious!

I have been a student at AM Downtown Seattle studio since July of 2018, and am really impressed with how quickly they adapted to the online shift. Although I much prefer in-person lessons, I have found that their virtual group classes and one-on-one distance lessons are good alternatives that allow students to work on their solo skills. Oh, and I would be remiss if I did not mention the weekly themed online dance parties, which continue to be a fun way to connect with others and practice social dancing skills from home.
