The team at Arthur Murray dance studio is fantastic! We are beginner dancers and wanted to spice up our NYE wedding first dance and the team totally delivered. They made us feel comfortable in our steps and worked with us on our vision. They made it fun and we are grateful to them for helping us with our first dance routine!

I HIGHLY recommend taking dance lessons for your first dance. My husband was dreading having to dance in front of everyone. After just 5 lessons he gained so much confidence and our first dance wasnt just a special intimate moment, but it was also really fun. Love both instructors we worked with! Jeremy and Melissa were awesome and we will be back for some date night lessons!

Fantastic instructors! Fantastic instruction, both virtual and in-person. During Covid 19 I switched from in-person to virtual lessons. I thought I'd give it a try since I was stuck at home and I am happy to report that I have learned so much this past year online. I now feel that I am a much stronger and better dancer!! By focusing virtually on steps, technique and balance on "my own" I'm finding that I'm a much better partner in person! I highly recommend Arthur Murray.

Weve been taking virtual lessons for almost 1 year now. Its been a great experience. We are able to stay connected with our dance friends, keep our dance skills fresh, learn new steps as well as maintain the personal connection to instructors that we had in-studio. We are also able to record each lesson for review. While we are anxious to return to the spacious studio, virtual lessons allow us to stay safely connected to the world of dance during the COVID pandemic.
