We started dancing at Arthur Murray Lake Norman six years ago. We love it. A little mini-date a couple of days a week. The instructors are great. Great dancers, great teachers, very friendly and fun. Absolutely look forward to every lesson. Mark and Jennifer (the owners) are very engaged and involved, treat the staff and students as family, and design some great showcases and parties. I was trying everything possible to avoid getting involved in ballroom dancing for years, but now I plan to do it for life based on Arthur Murray Lake Norman.

My wife and I went to Arthur Murray in Cornelius for a lesson before our sons wedding a year ago (about the last thing I wanted to do!). We have been taking lessons ever since. We met our instructor Ana that first day, and she has made our journey into the world of dance truly amazing. While learning to dance can be challenging, Ana makes it fun-we always leave with smiles on our faces and looking forward to our next lesson. And a few times each year they have themed parties where we all have a chance to get together and perform for each other. The entire staff is very accommodating and we highly

Its like being a part of a family. It is uplifting and fun at the same time learning a skill that can be used for the rest of your life. My husband and I use it like a mini date. Staff is alert and on top of neat ways to teach and keep you engaged. Social distancing is in place with masks, sanitizer, and thermometer. If you can walk, you can dance!

I can't say enough great things about the studio, its teachers, and the owners. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. My husband and I have been taking lessons for over 5 years now and Pon has helped us learn about 8 dances and helped give us the confidence to 'show off' our moves at formal events and even perform in front of others. Arthur Murray is like a 2nd home to us and we're so grateful for the little community we've found here in Lake Norman.

I have been participating with the Arthur Murray Studio for the last 3.5 years. It has given me so much beyond dance steps. The staff is fun, engaging and supportive. They bring you compassion and support, along with entertainment and laughter. They work to bring folks together. And they work with you - your level, your interests, and in general make you feel good about yourself. And, before quarantine, I got enough exercise to lose 20+ pounds.
