I signed up for four private lessons. From the moment I walked in I was impressed. Ample free parking. The studio is immaculate. Greeted promptly and seated. Name card welcoming me: nice touch! People listened to what I wanted and have worked to meet those needs. Each of my instructors has been friendly, poised, professional, patient, well trained and of course incredibly talented dancers. As a non-dancer no one made me feel embarrassed or put down in the slightest. Always encouraging. Very good communication skills and teaching skills. I’m going to miss some people but thank you to Bree, Riley, David, and McKenna (SP?). I have a small amount of experience backstage in acting including Hollywood, and also the news industry. For those unfamiliar: it’s brutally negative, including and especially acting school. There was none of that vibe here. That can only be deliberately by design at Arthur Murray and this franchise, who have created a positive welcoming environment. If you are an adult considering learning to dance don’t hesitate.

This is the place to go to dance off STRESS! This studio offers a 30 minute complimentary lesson where you can start learn to cha cha the day away. Michelle is an incredible dance champion and host. I recommend this studio to any newly engaged couples or couples who have been married a long time and want to spice things up a little bit. Don't worry if you are nervous, Michelle has remedies for that too! I hope you enjoy it as much I did!
