The owners are heroes in my book, for opening up for salsa dancing on Thursday nights, several months ago. It has kept me moderately sane. ;-)

I go here every Thursday night to dance salsa, bachata, cha cha--all the Latin dances. The DJs are awesome, the dance floor is polished and clean, and Pittsburgh has great dancers. I highly recommend salsa nights at this studio.

What a great place to be. The atmosphere is phenomenal! Such a friendly comfortable place to meet new people and socialize plus excellence in dance education! PS... wear whatever you wish but if you like glamour or crave a place to wear your “fun” clothes - bring it on!

My fianc and I began taking classes at Arthur Murray to feel comfortable for our wedding and the entire experience has completely exceeded our expectations! Between our private lessons with Aaron (who is amazing!) and the group lessons/parties each week, we have enjoyed every bit of it. All of the instructors and the owner, Dave, are experienced, professional, and extremely welcoming. Even after our wedding, we are planning to stay dancing at Arthur Murray because of how much fun we are having! :)
