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!!
