I used to hate dancing because I didn't really know how but, thanks to Author Murray, my wife and I can really ham it up on the dance floor. I no longer have any issues being the only couple on the dance floor with lots of people watching or dancing in a large group. It has been a lot of fun

I can't possibly say enough about how incredible our experience was with Ashton. My husband and I took 5 lessons before our wedding to practice our first dance, and everything about the experience (and the final result) was beyond perfect. My husband is over a foot taller than I am, so that's already an issue, and we are NOT natural dancers. But Ashton worked her magic on us and made us feel SO comfortable, during the lessons and during the actual dance! She was so sweet, encouraging, fun, and just an absolute joy to work with. We are beyond happy with how everything turned out, and we have only

I sent the following email to our teacher! She was amazing! I would give AM Bellevue and especially Emily and Sonora 10 million stars if I could. This email says it all:

We could NOT or would NOT have even attempted to dance at my son's wedding if it wasn't for you. As complete newbies, you encouraged us and gave us confidence. My son was sooo confidentand he made me feel like I could conquerany fear of looking foolish. LOL! It's a big deal for this "non

THE PLACE TO LEARN TO BALLROOM DANCE!
Ive always been a fan of Arthur Murray Dance Centers, but the Bellevue location is filled with a superstar staff. The environment is fun, the teachers excited to teach you and the experience is second to none. Combine that with themed parties and a community that welcomes everyone and you get a dance studio that is sure to teach even the clumsiest of dancers. Ill be coming back here every time Im in town. Even if its just to soak. Up some good juju before heading off to another destination.
