Frequently Asked Questions

Can I learn to dance?2021-04-09T11:04:26-05:00

Of course you can! Dancing is as easy as walking once you are taught how by an Arthur Murray expert. We teach simple, basic elements, from which the (more challenging) steps are derived. Hundreds of thousands of people have been successfully trained in Arthur Murray Dance Studios. There is no age (or ability) limit.

Is learning to dance hard?2021-04-09T11:01:49-05:00

We are famous for making learning to dance (fast) fun and easy. The Arthur Murray System uses four Elements of dancing, (and three types of lessons.) Out of these simple Elements, all dances are derived (and the different types of lessons- private/group/practice session, provide different settings and purposes to offer you a well-rounded learning environment.) That’s it! This system has been tested and honed since 1912 — it is the fastest and most effective method of teaching!

What types of lessons do you offer/what will I learn?2021-04-09T11:09:35-05:00

We provide instruction for those interested in social dancing as something fun and new, reconnecting with a spouse, couples preparing for their first dance, those who are interested in competitive dancing and everything in between. Dances we teach range from the classic ballroom dances like Waltz and Tango to spicy Salsa or Cha Cha, as well as upbeat and fun Swing and Country Western; your instructor will tailor a program for you based on your individual wants and needs. We offer three types of lessons to provide our students the most well-rounded dance education: private lessons to focus on your individual interests and needs; group lessons to introduce you to new, level appropriate material, new partners and an opportunity to practice that material through repetition; and weekly open practice/dance parties to provide a supervised situation in which you can practice all of your steps and techniques in a real life like setting.
