I love Arthur Murray Phoenix's new location. Such an iconic building. Holly and Jeremiah are engaging and welcoming to newbies. We tried out the Hustle and Salsa tonight. Great music and best way to exercise.

I knew absolutely nothing about dancing before I came to this studio. They have been helpful, patient and helped push me to learn more than I ever thought I could have! I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a dance studio in Phoenix.

This review is so overdo. Sarah helped my husband and I choreograph an epic wedding dance to two versions of a song (that we switched in the middle of the song), using two styles of dance foxy and salsa. She was patient and is a beautiful dancer and great teacher. If you have no ballroom dancing experience (like I did) to get a truly great dance you should go to her months ahead of time. We worked with her for 8 months (private lessons once a week) and were thrilled with the result but even 3-4 months would probably yield a great result with one style of dance and song version.

I had a Groupon for 3 private lessons, 3 group lessons and 3 dance parties. It turns out, they actually end up giving you 4 nights of lessons and during your Groupon period, unlimited group lessons and dance parties on other days of the week! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time learning the dances that we were most interested in during our private lessons, then took advantage of the group lessons, learning whatever was the dance of the night. The instructors are really great, Luis was just right for us and we had a great time learning from him. During the dance parties, all the instructors

My experience at Arthur Murray has been exceptional. They are true professionals from the very beginning. I had very little dance knowledge or ability and they made me very comfortable and at ease. The instructors are well educated in all types of dance. They made it a pleasant experience and made me feel like I could do it. They give you every opportunity to succeed and offer a variety of classes and parties to help you learn. I feel it is a great value for me and after going through some trying personal issues it gave me a great outlet to give me more confidence in the social world of dance.
