If you are looking for a dance studio to help with the wedding first dance of your DREAMS, look no further than Arthur Murray - McMurray. This incredible team of instructors transf...
ormed my husband and I from two non-dancers into confident performers for our wedding day. Mikayla (along with Carlos, Chris, Liz, and the rest of their talented team) was incredibly patient and supportive, making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. The choreography was so much fun and perfectly suited to our style. We asked for a fun and high-energy first dance to set the tone for the rest of the evening, and Arthur Murray delivered that and more! Our dance floor was PACKED the entire night, and our friends and family still talk about how surprised and impressed they were with our first dance to this day! Our wedding guests were blown away by our performance, and we know it wouldn't have been possible without Arthur Murray’s guidance. Thank you so much for helping us create a magical and memorable experience!

. He was patient and encouraging and got us on track. Our first dance went great, I could hear Nathan in my head, counting and coaching and his trade mark "yes, yes" that love so much. You're treated like family or long time friends. Great place, great people, so much more fun than we even expected. I'd go there again and I'd send anyone there, no question. Thanks guys, you're the best!!!!

eel very comfortable which all of the instructors, even the ones we haven't had lessons with. The group classes are amazing help and can propel you forward fast in learning. Justin Kaiser and our instructor Maddie choreographed the dance. Our instructor made sure that our interest and passion for dance only grew. 4 months post wedding and we wont stop dancing anytime soon. Theres get togethers and events frequently, its a great community to be apart of and make friends of all ages at.

e to spend several months learning a foxtrot routine! I had some dance experience before this (but never ballroom) and my husband had never danced before. But after this, we fell in love with dancing and are still at the studio....over 4 years later! I would highly recommend coming here for a wedding routine (and maybe sticking around after for more dancing, too!)

ll level, and they even edited our wedding song so it would be the exact length we wanted. We had such a good experience that even after the wedding, we chose to keep attending the school as regular dance students. Now, dancing has become a way for my husband and me to revisit our wedding day whenever we want.

k more classes and attend events. You don’t have to worry about walking in for the first time or trying a new dance; from the other dancers to the teachers, everyone is so welcoming. Even if you have two left feet, they make it easy and fun. They even tailor the program to be exactly what you have interests in learning and working on. There’s no pressure. I highly recommend you go to this dance studio if you have even an ounce of interest!

My now-husband and I started lessons at Arthur Murray with one goal: we wanted a first dance that would be beautiful, memorable, and truly enjoyable for our friends and family to w...
atch – not just the typical awkward sway for two minutes. We didn’t have a plan at first, but after some introductory 'ballroom 101' lessons, we found the dance styles we loved and finally settled on our first dance song. Mikayla took it from there, crafting beautiful choreography tailored to us.
The experience quickly became more than just wedding preparation. Our biweekly lessons turned into our favorite nights – 40 minutes of ‘us’ time spent dancing together, breaking up the stress of wedding planning and letting us reconnect in the most fun, meaningful way. Mikayla and the entire Arthur Murray team went above and beyond to make sure we’d impress everyone on the dance floor, both with our first dance and with all the moves we picked up along the way!
Our friends and family had endless compliments about our first dance, saying it was one of their favorite parts of our wedding. The Arthur Murray team thought of every detail: they cut the music track to perfection for our DJ, made sure we practiced in the shoes we’d wear, adjusted the choreography to accommodate my dress, and even helped coordinate the best positioning for our photographer to capture those beautiful moments. Thanks to Arthur Murray, our first dance was everything we’d hoped for and more – the perfect blend of elegance and fun, and an experience we'll cherish forever.
