Arthur Murray Dance Studio

I had a Groupon for 3 private lessons, 3 group lessons and 3 dance parties. It turns out, they actually end up giving you 4 nights of lessons and during your Groupon period, unlimited group lessons and dance parties on other days of the week! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time learning the dances that we were most interested in during our private lessons, then took advantage of the group lessons, learning whatever was the dance of the night. The instructors are really great, Luis was just right for us and we had a great time learning from him. During the dance parties, all the instructors are there and will dance with you and your partner separately, teach you something new or different, or work with you on something specific. We had a wonderful time at AM! Unfortunately our travel schedule doesn't allow for us to be full-time students at this time, but some day we would love to!

You can feel the fun's been sucked right out of this studio, and it's not just because of their low tier location and rotting, patchworked building. A majority of the staff is incompetent in their knowledge of the craft or personality and newbies revolve in and out of the place as if just being there sends them packing. The money-grubbing greediness just oozes out of the place due to obvious cheapskate tactics. It's an unpleasant experience all around.

I've been coming to Arthur Murray in Phoenix on and off for about 8 months. The one on one instruction has been great from my instructor Tina. The instructors know just about every type of dance you could want to learn, even various international dance styles. I've always felt welcomed there, and everyone has been very nice. It's not free, be prepared to spend a little bit of money, but if you approach it as an instructional class, it's on par with any other type of specialty instruction. Combine that with the top notch instructors, and it makes for a great experience. They will work with whatever budget you have. Also, there are lots of dance events and group classes that should be taken advantage of. The central Phoenix location is easily accessible from the 51 freeway, and is only about 3 miles off of the 17.

My experience at Arthur Murray has been exceptional. They are true professionals from the very beginning. I had very little dance knowledge or ability and they made me very comfortable and at ease. The instructors are well educated in all types of dance. They made it a pleasant experience and made me feel like I could do it. They give you every opportunity to succeed and offer a variety of classes and parties to help you learn. I feel it is a great value for me and after going through some trying personal issues it gave me a great outlet to give me more confidence in the social world of dance.

Took dance lessons here with my wife after never trying dance before and realized how much I love it! Instructors were very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. Can't wait to keep learning more styles!
