Huge shout out to Bianca for choreographing my first dance at my wedding. Throughout the dance lessons, Bianca was so fun and patient with us. She taught us so much and made our first dance so memorable. Thank you for all your hard work!!

This dance studio was amazing! We took dance classes for our first dance at our wedding and we really had a blast. Our teacher was Eugene, but sadly, he left the company to go back to school in California. Although we were a little upset, due to the change in teacher and we had already began feeling very comfortable with Eugene, Safwat (the owner) stepped in and began teaching us. He is equally as great of a teacher and it was really interesting and helpful to get a new set of eyes on our routine and encourage us to learn new moves/dance styles. This has been a wonderful experience and really

Jackie makes this studio so much fun! She is a great dancer and instructor but also keeps everybody moving forward in their dancing! I am so glad I chose Arthur Murray in Merrick because the owner has several studios that we can go to for parties and exchange lessons. It's like being part of a big Italian family! LOL

The instructors at
Arthur Murray are incredible. I go to the Merrick Studio and work with Eugene and Jackie. The Arthur Murray system of step by step instructions makes it easy to learn ten popular ballroom dances and even some of the other less common ones. My main instructor is Eugene and he is a great teacher. He is always ready with a compliment and is very easy to understand in the way he teaches. Sometimes I dance with Jackie and she is a great teacher, too. I take private lessons which include attendance at group lessons three times a week and also a party night with open dancing. If you

I have been with Arthur Murray Dance Studio for almost 2 years. My husband and I are enjoying the time we have learning to dance. We take private lessons, participate in the group classes offered and practice parties. Taking dance lessons has been very exciting, fun and challenging. I cannot leave out the great work out you get. My husband and I have been having a great time with our dance steps, especially when invited to weddings or events with dancing. We are able to get onto the dance floor, and having a great time!!!! While taking dance lessons, participating in the group classes offered
