We enjoyed working with Rachel on our first dance! Also included in the package was 3 group dance classes. This was a fun "date night" activity pre-wedding!
We worked with Rachel to choreograph and coach us through learning a dance to perform at our wedding together. Rachel was absolutely amazing, patient, kind, and in tune with us as a couple and our abilities and desires for our first dance. I wo...
uld highly recommend her and the entire studio and other staff to any couple looking to do something special for their first dance or even just as a date night. Not only was it something we were preparing for our wedding it turned into a fun little date we go to share and help us let go of the stresses of wedding planning during a pandemic. The staff were excellent in keeping the space clean and were never over crowded. We always felt safe in their space while dancing.
I was a total novice to any type formal or traditional dance when I walked in the door @ the "Arthur Murray Dance Studio" in Lenexa Kansas. My youngest daughter's nuptials were soon approaching, and she had chosen a popular song for our "Fathe...
r Daughter Dance". When a few Dance lessons entered the discussion, I embraced the idea readily, as always of interest, but never experienced. I admit feeling apprehension initially due to my lack of any skills or study in this art form. But with no point of comparison, I can say that I cannot imagine a more comfortable/casual feeling in an absolutely professional and sincere environment for the uninitiated as myself. The studio itself is charming and inviting, on the second floor of a fine old vintage building. All the staff was sincere and warm, but we were blessed to have Rachael as our instructor. She took our song choice, watched the choreography of another father daughter who had used our song, and quickly set a course of action that led us from clueless to fairly confident in four short lessons. Warm, fun, sincere, and obviously an experienced problem solver as she quickly found alternative steps to replace any we were struggling with, as she expertly led and taught us through our "long way to go" and a "short time to get there mission" . Rachael quickly and naturally instilled confidence in our ability to perform our selection almost immediately, and made us feel like friends the first night. Our short time with Rachel @ Aurthur Murray confirmed my personal thoughts over the years that "dance lessons would be a worthwhile investment and rewarding pursuit". I look forward to pursuing further instruction in this fun form of exercise, discipline, and social interaction. Rachael and Arthur Murray were the perfect introduction for me, and having confidence dancing in front of many guests on my baby girls big day would not have been possible without our four memorable lessons. To me that is priceless. My only regret is not embracing instruction years ago. Thank You! Rachael ,and "The Arthur Murray Dance Studio" in Lenexa Kansas!!
Lauren at Arthur Murray Dance Studio choreographed the most perfect first dance for us. She made the entire process so fun and comfortable, we looked forward to each lesson and made a date night out of it. One of my top favorite moments of our ...
wedding day was our first dance- hands down. Lauren made the dance feel just like the rest of our wedding day- soft, romantic, classic. Our photographer told us that it was the best first dance she had ever seen- such an amazing compliment. We also had multiple family members tell us that it made them cry. It felt so special to have this intimate dance together as husband and wife and I cannot say enough about how lovely and sweet all of the staff at Arthur Murray studio are. Thank you for creating such a special memory for us.
We are amazed at how much we have learned in a short time! They break down dances so you can pick up the movements easily. All the staff are very professional and fun to work with. We actually extended our classes to continue learning and build...

A few months ago, my fiance and I were by no means comfortable with dancing. We decided to give dance lessons a try. From our first lesson, we never felt embarrassed or not good enough at Arthur Murray. We have been working with Darren and he h...
as been great! Now that our wedding date is approaching, we feel much more confident being on the dance floor. We can't wait to shock our family and friends!
Planning a wedding is stressful, planning a wedding during COVID is a nightmare. Going to these dance lessons with my fiancé always put us back in a great place. It was so much fun and got our mind off the stress of the outside world.
Lauren ...
was amazing and put together the most adorable dance for us that we have so much fun practicing at home. We can't wait to show off in front of our family :)
This dance studio is amazing! We wanted to have our first dance for our wedding choreographed, so we were not awkwardly swaying back and forth for 3-4 minutes as our first dance. Were having a Disney's themed Tangled wedding and wanted our fir...
st dance to "I See The Light'. Lauren (our instructor) did an amazing job choreographing our dance to this song. Our dance is so Disney and princess like with tons of lifts, turns, and elegance. Not only did she do an amazing job with giving the feel and look to the type of dance we wanted, the atmosphere is fun, light, and enjoyable. They are very flexible with schedules. We had to move our wedding date back because of COVID and there were a few times we had to reschedule our personal class because my fiance does not have a consistent work schedule and got off late.
We are getting married soon, but the dance lessons from Rachel (and Zach on an occasion) were amazing. The dance is fun, looks great, and was challenging but manageable with great instruction.
Some of their packages included group lessons whi...

It seems to me like you actually learn to dance and gain a foundation for other types of dance if you want to learn more in the future.

My fiancé and I came in slightly hesitant and not quite sure what to expect. Rachel’s confidence and professionalism and overall vision was perfect for us and created such a fun time throughout our whole engagement! Our dance was lowkey and fel...
t like “us” while being super special for our big day. Dance lesson night became “let’s leave the house on a weeknight without sweats on and have dinner and go dancing.” It made the engagement process slow and and so meaningful. We’re looking forward to more dancing even after our wedding!
My wife and I had a great experience working with Julia for our wedding day first dance! We wanted something simple and fun to ease the nerves, but also look polished. Julia helped us do just that! She's very easy going and understanding (we h...

We were able to get in with about 3 months to the wedding and get not one but 2 choreographed dances for our wedding. We love the vibe in the studio and our instructor Julia is super upbeat and fun to work with. We have group classes built into...
lessons and those are a fun to learn other types of dances that we’ve been able to build into our dances. We are so in love with the dances and feel confident to wow our family and friends on our wedding day.
We decided a little later than some to do dance lessons for our wedding, and had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted to do, but it was no problem for Lauren at Authur Murray! She took our vision and made it WAY better than we could have ev...
er thought it could be! Our wedding day hasn't come just quite yet, but I know our dance will impress all of our guests! Plus the lessons are just so much fun!! Everything about this experience has been amazing and has exceeded any and all expectations!!

Having our dance choreographed by Lauren at Arthur Murray Dance Studio was one of the best parts of planning our wedding! Lauren created the cutest, sweetest first dance that was everything I hoped it would be and more. She was so patient with ...
us and supportive every step of the way. We wanted a fun, jazzy first dance- something youtube worthy- and Lauren nailed it without making it too complicated or difficult. In just ten lessons we learned a skill I didn't think we were capable of. We cannot wait to perform the dance at the wedding!
The studio is a beautiful space with a great variety of group and private dance lessons available. The entire staff is very friendly, supportive and professional. There is obviously great teamwork here behind the scenes too because I felt supported and welcomed by everyone at this studio. Another instructor Rachel (who is also a great teacher) filled in for Lauren one day. She obviously did her homework because she knew the whole dance and was able to pick up right where Lauren left off. For any special event, I highly recommend Arthur Murray!
Response from the Vendor on 10/15/2019

cé and I wanted to create a surprise first dance at our wedding that will really WOW our friends and family. The team there all know our dance and have helped us break it down- find out what really works for us and motivate us through it. Lauren is AMAZING to work with. She’s so smart when it comes to little details and they make such a big impact to the overall look of your performance. It’s comforting to know that they care so much and that you are in good hands. We feel READY and even more excited for our special day. We highly recommend Lauren and the rest of the beautiful team there to help get you out of your comfort zone in such a supportive and loving way to help you reach your dance goals! Thank you guys for everything. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to create our first dance and it has added to such a wonderful bonding memory for my fiancé and I during this time.
Much love.
Lauren has been an amazing instructor! We went from my fiancé arguing about how much he didn’t want dance lessons to him becoming a pro and more comfortable on the dance floor!
She was able to turn me from the lead back into the lady! And come...
up with great choreography to a song in a difficult time signature!
I highly recommend trying the free session to see if it’s right for you! I know it was for us! It helps us have some alone time and not stress about the wedding!

Thank you! You two are amazing! We're excited for the two of you to show off your new moves on the big day! We can't wait to hear all about it and wish years of happiness.
My fiancé and I really loved this place and the instructor we had for our sample class but it just really was not affordable. They only offer two package options one being around $800 and one $1,500. It was very disappointing to be forced to go...
to a sample class before being told what their pricing was, then find out it is that expensive due to having to pick a package with classes that might not be necessary. It would be nice if they offered an affordable basic package where you can learn a first dance and avoid the extra group classes that you don’t need.
Response from the Vendor on 07/17/2019
Hi Ashley, We really enjoyed working with you and Zach. We're happy to hear you loved the studio and the instruction you received; but it seems we didn't do a good job explaining to you that there were other programs available at a lower price ...
point. We would like to extend our sincerest apologies regarding the confusion over options we offer in the studio and invite you and Zach back to discuss a more affordable option. We have a high standard of quality in the instruction offered. It is very important to our team that time and attention is put into crafting your special first dance. We appreciate your feedback and would like the opportunity to discuss other possible options with you. If you would be willing to talk further, please call our Studio Director- Monica at (913) 599-4444.
We had a great time learning our first dance and we were able to enjoy it on the wedding day without being too nervous. All our guests were so impressed by the results! We definitely recommend!
My husband and I decided very last minute that we wanted to choreograph our first dance at our wedding. We went in for a consultation and knew immediately that we were in the right place. Darren was so kind and understood what we wanted right a...
way. We are huge Disney dorks and chose to dance to part of the film score from ‘Up’ and we weren’t sure if it could be done well. When we came in to our first lesson, we were blown away at how adorable, clean, and realistic the dance that Arthur Murray created for us was. Lauren was our teacher and we couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. She was kind, gave clear instructions, and offered us constructive feedback that made our dance amazing. Monica helped us perfect our box step and made us feel confident in our basic level of dance skill. Neither of us are dancers, but you would never know it! After only 4 lessons we were able to perform the perfect dance for us and we had so much fun! We love Lauren and we love our first dance! We are so lucky and feel that our first dance will be a moment we will always cherish. And as Lauren says, “When in doubt, box it out!” Heard that girl. Heard that.

My father and I are taking private lessons for our father/daughter dance at my wedding reception. Arthur Murray’s KC is beyond amazing. We both have two left feet and wanted a choreographed dance which felt impossible. BUT the instructors are ...
beyond patient, kind, and check in with you often to make sure you understand and that you are comfortable with the dance. Their corrections are professional and super helpful (we might actually rock this yet!). They let you come in early to practice and are so encouraging. If you are looking for someplace with flexibility in their schedule and a warm, but professional environment I can’t recommend them enough. I was beyond nervous to start this process, but Arthur Murray’s assuaged any fear I had at the beginning. Great place, so very worth your time and money. Darrin (sp?) is fantastic!

This was one of the best "yes" of wedding planning. Whether with your bride/groom to be or your mother or father, the time during these sessions is truly priceless. I would do it again in a heartbeat and hope to go back to take classes for fun....
The staff are extremely open, kind, and positive and the environment definitely got us excited for the dance on our big day. Finally, the dance was a huge surprise and a hit for all our guests. Whether you want classy lessons or a fun routine, Arthur murray has it all!

raphed a dance that felt just right for us, and they helped adapt to our needs on the fly and turned my husband into a real class-act on the dance floor. I'm still in shock that they gave him the confidence to dance with me!
Amy was awesome! We were both terrible to start out and with Amy's help our wedding dance was perfect! It worked out so well and we are so glad we took lessons with them. Thank you guys so much for your help!
When my daughter started planning her wedding, she and I decided to do a father-daughter dance, so I started googling to see who taught dance in the area. Came across Arthur Murray, and decided to walk in cold turkey and see how the place hit ...
me. Very friendly reception, the dance floor is of the old-school wooden variety, and all in all, just a great atmosphere. Quaint I thought! I thought about the studio for a week, finally signed up, and that turned out to be a great choice. My daughter and I love the place, and the people are fabulous. Amy was our instructor and she was quite helpful, and patient (with me, which was especially helpful). She worked with us, had a smile on her face, and choreographed a very nice routine. Fun to work with. I told her that out of a possible 5 we’d give her a 6. After observing all the other instructors, we can honestly say they’re all very good dancers, and really nice people. The ultimate reward was hearing the applause at the end of our dance, and having people tell us that we danced well. Thank you Amy, and thank you Arthur Murray.
My husband and I took dance lessons at Arthur Murray so we could have a special first dance at our wedding. I didn't want anything overly complicated, but also didn't just want to stand there and sway back and forth like a high school dance. Ou...
r routine was fantastic and just enough wow factor to shock our guests! We're still getting tons of compliments on it. We worked with Darren and he was absolutely fantastic, I can't say enough about him. He was extremely knowledgeable and observant and coached us both extremely well. Even with my husbands lack of dance experience, he was very comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend this investment, it will be something we will look back on and watch over and over again. Plus, it was a really fun thing for date night! We did the 6 dance package with 1 extra the week of the wedding to just recap. It was perfect!

sons so tired after a day of work and end up leaving more awake, not more tired. This is partially due to our instructor Amy! She has a great personality and a great energy, is very knowledgeable, and will joke around with us. She is also very patient with us when we get stuck and takes the time to help us learn in a way that makes sense to us (being newbies). Our more classic dance has come along quite smoothly with just over a month left before the wedding (we started just 3 months out) and we've also enjoyed a group dance learning Latin dances while here too. We've loved having Amy as our instructor and will be sad when our last day with her comes around... However we've already talked about coming back to learn more!

Thank you Alisha! We appreciate the wonderful review. Here at Arthur Murray we strive for excellence and it sounds like that is exactly what you and your fiance received. Amy is a very skilled instructor and she is always full of energy! We are...
honored to have you choose us to help you prepare for your first dance. We too will be sad when your last lesson comes along, however as you mentioned, you'll be back in no time. We'll see you both very soon!
My Dad and I took lessons for our father daughter dance here and absolutely loved it! We had a wonderful instructor and all around an A+ experience. Great staff and a fun and comfortable learning environment!
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2018
Thank you Cloe for taking the time to review us! We are thrilled to hear you had an A+ experience. The preparation for your Father/Daughter dance can be a very special and memorable time. We are grateful you chose to spend it with the Arthur M...
urray team!
My now husband and I took private lessons with Amy to have a perfect first dance. Everyone at AM is incredibly nice and helpful. My husband had little to no dance experience that he was a bundle of nerves for our first lessons. Amy is amazing!!...
! She worked so well with both of us, made us feel comfortable, and made us so much more confident with our dancing. All of our guests LOVED our first dance and said they were jealous of how awesome it looked.
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2018
Thank you Ashlee for the inspiring review! We LOVE to hear that your guests LOVED your first dance! That is great motivation for the team! We also enjoy making "non-dancers" into confident natural dancers. Cheers to a fabulous first dance!
We walked into KC Arthur Murray about 6 months out from our wedding to establish some basic dancing skills and to get a quote for first-dance choreography. We decided to start with an introductory program to social dance. In our private lessons...
, we had an opportunity to work with each instructor (all of whom are amazing!) on the basics of a LOT of dances (Cha Cha, Waltz, Rumba, Foxtrot, Bachata, Swing, etc). We also got to participate in group lessons and parties, where we met other students and had a lot of fun. Long story short, we kept coming, signing up for a Bronze program and spending 2-4 evenings in the studio each week.
When it came time to start our wedding dance, we felt prepared and confident. The choreography is a showstopper, and frankly the whole dance is more than I ever thought we would accomplish in just a few months.
Whether you’re looking to simply feel comfortable on the first-dance floor or you’re looking to really put on a show, Arthur Murray’s got you.
It was and continues to be an amazing experience dancing here. We signed up initially to learn to dance socially and ended up wanted something for our wedding. We learned a great set of steps to an unconventional song and really had a great tim...
e! The instructions pay SO much attention to detail and really stick with what you need as a couple. We loved learning before our wedding so much, we are still doing it after as a great couple experience. We love the energy the instructors has and it really livens our week! Can't recommend enough!
There are so many reasons why I strongly recommend Arthur Murray!
Taking dance lessons in the weeks leading up to our wedding was great, because it was something just the two of us could do, outside the mania of everything else going on. And i...
t's really a great way to practice what lies ahead in marriage: sometimes one or the other of you is doing great and the other is struggling, and you take turns in those roles, but you just keep supporting each other, having fun, and remembering that it takes both of you working together to succeed!
Specific to Arthur Murray, every single person there was friendly and professional from day one. Tavier was our instructor for each of our sessions, and he was FANTASTIC! He was encouraging, adaptable, full of great ideas, and so much fun every single time. We can't imagine having anyone else who could have possibly made this a better experience. My fiance had never really danced before and taking dance lessons was definitely out of his element, but Tavier made us instantly relaxed and ready to learn, while making sure everything we did felt like "us."
And at the end of it all, we will have an amazing and beautiful first dance that we will remember for a lifetime!
I 100% recommend Arthur Murray dance lessons to any bride!!!
Everyone there was very friendly and great. Our first dance was not a typical first dance, as we went with a more theatrical style song and wanted to include our 5 year old daughter in part of the dance. They were very willing to accommodate he...
r into the dance and made it all very easy and stress-free. They are a bit pricey, but totally worth it, as they are very flexible and helpful.
My husband and I got married on Saturday and we worked with Amy for 10 sessions leading up to our wedding. She was phenomenal in teaching us rookies a choreographed dance to "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by Frankie Valli. Amy was encouraging,...
positive, and SO patient with us as we came in having no idea what to do. It was important to me that my husband feel comfortable as I knew this was a hobby we likely would pick back up when we both finish graduate school. We had such a good time and felt it was a great way for us to bond and grow as a couple before our wedding in a different way. Dancing is a unique form of communicating with your partner. I really can't say enough great things about the entire crew at Arthur Murray, especially our angel of an instructor, Amy. I would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding and wanting to do more than just the traditional first dance. We witnessed the group classes which we plan to attend in the near future because they looked so fun! We can't wait to go back to Arthur Murray!

We weren't sure what to expect when we signed up for this, but it's been a blast! I'm convinced they can teach anyone to dance!

Thank you for the awesome review! At Arthur Murray we strive for excellence and we are so glad to hear that is exactly what you received. Your dance is breathtaking, we know everyone will be taken back. We will see you two very soon!
My husband and I loved working with Arthur Murray leading up to our wedding! Catherine helped us create an incredible first dance (that received tons of compliments from our guests) and we had so much fun during each of our lessons with her. As...
two people who were new to dance lessons, Catherine's little tricks and tips to help explain (and retain) the steps that she was teaching us were so helpful! We wanted a first dance that was more than standing and swaying but was still romantic and somewhat relaxed and Catherine absolutely created that for us! She even came up with our entrance down the stairs and onto the dance floor as well as our ending. We loved working with her and definitely look forward to learning more in the future!
I had a great time and learned a lot! It was the most fun part about getting ready for a wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 12/13/2017

My husband and I worked with several of the instructors (mainly Amy and Darren) to prepare a special dance for our wedding. They kept everything fun while teaching us good technique, not just a set of moves we had to memorize. We ended up with ...

ariety of dances to more strictly practicing our first dance for our wedding. I really appreciated how this Arthur Murray studio put together a concrete, detailed plan for learning the different styles of dance that we were interested. I look forward very much to my fiance and I performing our first dance at our wedding reception. I enjoyed this dance studio so much that I even brought my mother so we could learn a dance routine for our Mother Son Dance. A lot of my lessons with my mother were with Monica. She was a also a great instructor with very concise and easy to understand steps. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in learning to dance as a hobby or to increase passion & intimacy in your relationship or marriage, and even to prepare for a first dance at a wedding reception.

I highly recommend signing up for a set of lessons. It has been a great date night and will make our first dance extremely special.
Tavier was a great instructor! Kept it fun! And we'll look beautiful dancing our first dance at our wedding now that we know what we're doing!
Amy has been an incredible teacher! She's energetic, patient, positive and adjusts to our style and request on a dime.

I absolutely had a blast learning the waltz and hustle with my father for my upcoming wedding. Every instructor we had (usually Amy) was wonderful and really put in the time to choreograph a special dance for us. While it is a bit expensive (I ...
could never afford classes on my own...probably because I work for a nonprofit...but I so wish I could), it is worth it if you're looking for a fantastic place to learn a full, choreographed routine. Amy is bubbly, fun and patient...especially since my father and I were complete newcomers to the world of dance. I look forward to my lessons each week. What a great father/daughter date night! I hope to be back, after my wedding, to learn more! :)

Our instructor, Tavier, was wonderful. He got to know us as a couple, taught us in a language that we (as complete dance newbies) could understand, and kept us laughing through every class. I would highly recommend him to anyone! In the end, our dance turned out better than we could've expected, and we are so exited to surprise our guests at the wedding!
Great, friendly staff and we enjoyed our lessons! We never felt uncomfortable as beginners and the staff was very knowledgable. I gave four stars only because we felt as though the lessons were very short compared to the price listed, however, ...

Our instructor was Tavier and he was amazing. Gentle in his instruction, encouraging and supportive the whole time. We very much enjoyed working with him. They were happy to incorporate everything we asked for and designed a whole routine for ...

The team at Arthur Murray Dance Studio is fantastic!!!! Everyone at the studio is friendly and welcoming, they make you feel right at home, even as beginning dancers who felt totally awkward and out of place going into it. We had our private ...
lessons with Tavier, and we loved him. He was so patient and broke down the dances and made it easy and fun to learn. He miraculously helped two people, with four left feet have a great time and actually look like we know what we're doing on the dance floor. We worked with Amy as well, and she was so much fun and really great to work with. The group lessons with Darren were a blast. I would highly recommend Arthur Murray to anyone looking for dance lessons.
Before my wedding my dad informed me he thought we should do something "special" for our father/daughter dance. Neither of us have ANY dance experience, so I set out to find a studio that could make his idea come to life. Simply put, Arthur M...
urray far exceeded our expectations! We worked with Tavier who listened to our ideas and came up with the most fun, energetic, amazing choreography. He (patiently) taught us the entire dance and worked with us on perfecting our performance (apparently you aren't supposed to count 8-counts out loud). Needless to say, the dance brought the house down! Everyone was so surprised, and we absolutely could not have pulled this off without Tavier and the AM team. My dad even told me several weeks later that he misses our weekly dance lessons! Thank you all so much -- you made our special moment absolutely unforgettable!
Arthur Murray was amazing! We had a great time learning our first dance and getting to know the staff! I highly recommend them!
My now-husband and I came in a month before our wedding, hoping that we could get one or two moves down before our big day. By the time our first dance came around, we had a FABULOUS whole dance routine down and polished, and it was wonderful. ...
Darren worked some magic for sure, and e had a blast learning an entire choreographed dance in just a few weeks! Our guests were just amazed and we had so much fun performing for them. Can't wait to go back for some more lessons!
We've been working with Tavier choreographing a surprise dance for my wedding and he's been awesome to work with. Very energetic
What a lovely experience!

he Arthur Murray dance studio. Not only our main instructor (Tavier), but the entire team at the studio were just amazing to work with. We loved that they started off with first understanding us and our vision for our first dance and then creating a beautiful routine for us. We also loved how patient and helpful they were with us and taught us step by step as well as worked on fine tuning. We have never felt this graceful before on ANY dance floor. It wasn't just the dance, we felt closer just working on our dance together. It was like a date night for us both to go learn our dance at every class. The team was very encouraging and that's just what we needed. What they taught us just added to the entire beautiful tone of the wedding and was an elegant surprise for the guests. We are very happy with the decision we made to go for Arthur Murray! Worth it and highly recommended! Thank you so much for this!
Tavier was our instructor, we can't say enough good things about him. My fiancé and I were nervous about dancing in front of a crowd of people, we have little to no rhythm, but Tavier put us at ease and never made us feel bad about or lack of ...
skill. They made us excited about dance and we would love to go back even after the wedding! Thank you so much for all your patience and guidance! We also had the pleasure of working with Amy a couple of times, she has a contagious bubbly personality and made the whole experience fun! I highly recommend Arthur Murray Dance Studio.
