My husband and I recently got married and it had been our desire that our first dance as husband and wife to be as memorable as possible. After getting engaged and wedding planning...
commenced we found Arthur Murray Manchester at a wedding expo and after some discussion signed up for a trial lesson at their studio.
My husband and I began dance lessons approximately one year ago and over the course of our dance instruction we found so much value in each instructor, each providing excellent feedback and instruction for beginner dancers. Along side consistent practice on our own, we varied our classes from once a week to every other week. We found that this was a good balance for us to keep progressing, learning new moves, hand placement, timing and confidence.
As a couple we also were able to connect more on a different level, being each others biggest support, learning to lead, learning to follow. We found a new, unexpected hobby that we both genuinely enjoyed doing.
Although the main focus over the year was our first dance, Arthur Murray incorporated other dances into our sessions which gave us an even larger foundation as beginners and other options for dance throughout our wedding celebration.
We are so grateful for all the instruction we were provided, the laughs and the memories. Our first dance was a success and we can now look back over the years and say "we did this".
A special thank you to our instructor Abbie, who showed us our first steps and worked consistently with us throughout the year. It was a full circle moment we are both happy to have shared with you.

We had a great time at the dance studio. Nolan and Melissa were great to work with. Nolan made learning to dance quite fun, something that I'd typically say is outside of our comf...
ort zones. We felt very confident on the wedding day and got a lot of cheers from our guests. If you are looking for people to walk you through the basics and grow your confidence this is the spot for you. Just be aware that dance lessons can come with a heavy price tag.

A special thank you to Ron, who made our wedding day even more special by teaching us how to dance. By the end of our lessons we were able to perform a swing dance as our first da...
nce for our guests and we looked great doing it. Thanks again Ron for your patience with my husbands horrible jokes and dance shenanigans. We had a blast learning to dance with you.
We're looking forward to scheduling more lessons in the future.

We took 4 lessons before our wedding. We learned some pretty basic dance steps and learned to put it all together. Erin, our instructor, was great! She was so nice and made us feel...
not quite so nervous. I don't think we could have went through with the lessons if we weren't with her.
The lessons were fun, but it was pretty expensive. We also got some group lessons as part of our package, but we didn't really enjoy them. They matched us up with other people, which was a little uncomfortable at times. We really just wanted to practice together for our big day.
Overall it was great to make us feel more comfortable. We got a lot of compliments on our first dance, but it did take some practice at home too.

My husband and I took dance lessons the month before our wedding and Arthur Murray was very attentive and helped us get basic steps down for our first dance. They had our first dan...
ce music on file and also gave us the option to practice in an empty dance studio whenever we wanted. The price was a little high for the service (we had gotten a Groupon for 2 lessons) compared to others in Manchester. But overall service and quality was great!

We started dance lessons in Febuary 6 months before our wedding. We had a special first song to dance to and we wanted it to be wonderful. Erin at Arthur Murray was our instructor ...
and she did a fabulous job guiding us to learn dance steps to our song. We had fun along the way and we even learned some other dance moves we could use to other songs at the reception.
