My husband and I took 4 dance lessons with Richard. He choreographed a BEAUTIFUL first dance for us, despite us both being newbies at ballroom dance. He was wonderful to work with and made modifications to the dance for us as necessary. It ended up being wonderful, so many guests complimented it!

Andrea choreographed a great dance for me and my husband. We were both beginners, but she was very patient with us. I'm so happy with how the dance turned out, too. Thank you so much!

My fiancé (now husband) was very hesitant to take dance lessons because he swore he “couldn’t dance.” Turns out that with Andrea’s help, he was great!! Andrea made lessons fun and every session felt like a date night for us. It was so cool to see our progress over our 12 weeks of lessons! Our guests can’t stop talking about how great our first dance was! Andrea even set aside time to show my dad a few moves two days before the wedding so he could feel confident for our father-daughter dance. Thanks so much for everything, Arthur Murray!

Andrea did such a good job choreographing our wedding dance. It blew me away with how it turned out. My husband and I were definitely beginners but Andrea taught us well and it was so much fun while we were learning! Andrea has a great personality and it makes all of it worth it! My husband even had fun and he said he’d never dance lol. Our time was worth every second and our dance together touched my heart and is something I will have and remember forever.

Bri was an absolutely incredible teacher!!! I was flying in from out of town for my wedding and Bri choreographed and worked with me on a salsa with my mom and a slow dance with my dad. Since my time in town was limited, she choreographed and taught us the entire dance in just 4 lessons each. I loved her dedication to making sure we had everything perfect on my special day and she was just incredibly fun to work with!! Thank you so much, Bri! Mom, Dad and I appreciate you so much!!

We can’t say enough good things about Arthur Murray Dance Center and our experience with Jesse! My wife and I wanted to learn a choreographed first dance for our wedding and we went to the right place. Jesse has an approachable, personal teaching style and humorous way of helping you learn and remember steps. Dancing can be hard, but he broke down every step for us and made it fun. His instruction gave us the confidence we needed to kill it on the dance floor (which we did) without missing a beat. Every step he taught us from the promenade to the hammerlock was purposefully planned, helpfully recorded for later reference and customized to our song with perfect timing. Whatever your dancing occasion is, we highly recommend Jesse and the whole Arthur Murray team!

Our experience working with the Arthur Murray Dance Center was absolutely wonderful!! My Fiance (now husband), and I decided a little late in the game that we wanted to pursue dance lessons for our first dance at our wedding, and after coming across Arthur Murray on google and reading their reviews, decided to give them a call. Aren't we so glad we did!
The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was extremely helpful and scheduled us for our first consultation / lesson the very next day. We met with Nick, and from the first moment we walked in the door it felt like we were being treated like family. Nick was so patient, kind, and truly took his time to get to know us and our personal characteristics, which he displayed over the duration of our lessons through his teaching techniques and communication. We not only learned a beautiful personalized dance for one of the biggest days of our lives... we got to experience learning how to do it in a fun, welcoming, and genuine atmosphere working with Nick, which helped make our wedding just that much more special. Thank you so much to our awesome dace instructor Nick, and to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio family for being a part of making our big day so memorable. We can't wait to go back!
Love,
Trev & Em

Nick was absolutely fabulous! He made us laugh and never made us feel like we couldn't do it... we knew we could run to him with questions and concerns and he would help with solutions

Lauren our instructor was awesome. The lessons were definitely needed. She was patient and worked with our schedule and budget. It was worth investing in this one time memory. The choreography she put together with our own tweaks not twirks haha made it beautiful. The studio was nice and staff friendly and welcoming.

My husband, my father, and I loved Arthur Murray! They helped us with both the First dance and the Father Daughter dances and the results blew our guests away. Having our dances professionally choreographed made the whole experience that much more special. One of the great things about Arthur Murray is that when you go in for the first meeting, they have a coordinator who works with you to find a dance instructor that meets your needs and personality. That extra touch really helped us to enjoy our experience.

We absolutely love Arthur Murray San Antonio! Holly choreographed an amazing wedding dance for us that incorporated our existing dance knowledge and helped us learn new moves and technique that we did not know previously! We have friends and family who still talk about our wedding dance even though we got married four years ago! We continue to take lessons to this day and Holly continues to be absolutely amazing to work with! If you are looking for a first dance together to treasure forever, check out Arthur Murray SA! All of the dance instructors don't just work to get you through the dance, they help you with the technique and the styling that add that extra special touch!
