Four Yahoo! Locals give Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studio a perfect five stars:
- I would recommend anyone to Arthur Murray who is interested in learning more about dance. The staff is super friendly, extremely competent, and knowledgeable. – besame sauve
- The professional staff makes learning fun for people new to the dance floor- even for the most shy dancers. We have a new confidence that we can actually get out on the floor at social gatherings and not "sit out" as we have done for so many years. – Diana

About Arthur Murray Dance Studios
Arthur Murray Dance Studios has been a leading name in social dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with certified instructors. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
