My husband and I signed up for classes a few years ago to learn some wedding dances. We had such a great experience, learned a lot in a short period of time, and had so much fun that we stayed on as regular students! The staff are awesome and we love practicing what we learn at the weekly dance parties. We highly recommend Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Rochester!!

As a musician, I have always loved music. I used to go out to dance, but I found that even though I enjoyed myself, I always felt like I had 2 left feet, and really didnt know what I was doing. I used to go to a club where older people who loved to dance would go. They seemed to know what they were doing on the dance floor, and it was really enjoyable to watch. One of my bucket list items was to learn how to dance for real. A few years ago, I was given an opportunity to try dancing at Arthur Murray Studios here in Rochester. There were four lessons included, so I thought Id have

We originally signed up with Arthur Murray to have that beautiful first dance for our wedding. Cassandra helped us (me) figure out what style of dance matched the vision I was dreaming of and it was the waltz. Anything new is intimidating but she made it fun for the both of us, so much so we are still dancing there 2 years later and my husband is not a fan of dancing and he loves it. If you have ever thought of trying ballroom dancing I encourage you to do yourself a favor and sign up and try. You will not regret your decision no one is there to judge you just relax and have fun. Everyone at the

I have danced all my life, but have never had the pleasure of learning ballroom dancing. The team at Arthur Murray welcomed me into their dance family and have helped me to progress further than I ever imagined in ballroom. I am incredibly lucky to have a dance instructor who works with me to understand the cultural history of each dance style and to appreciate how one dance style relates to others. He pieces movement together in a way that allows us to showcase these nuances...and for a dance nerd like me, coming to the studio is heaven. This is my happy place and my new family.

Perhaps, one of the best decisions of my life was to sign up at Arthur Murry. All the instructors are knowledgeable and love teaching their students how to dance. Plus, every Friday you get an opportunity to come out and practice what you have learned. If you're a lady, you're treated like one here! And if you're a man, well, you learn how lead and even be a bit of a dance floor hero. When you grab a wedding planner and she says, "Wow, I've never danced with someone who knows what they are doing before," you know you that you've learned how to dance well. Come here to learn, to make good friends
