A year ago, I attended a reunion, after which a group of us went dancing. I'd always wanted to learn how to dance, but didn't know where to start. That reunion was the catalyst that prompted me to research dance studios, atmosphere, pricing, and actual programs. The most difficult part was gathering the courage to walk through the door of the studio. After I did, I wondered why I'd waited so long to do so. The staff at Arthur Murray is so enthusiastic, welcoming, and fun...that you are immediately put to ease. My instructor, Greg, is utterly fantastic. I've also enjoyed styling lessons with Robyn, who is equally gifted and talented. I've had the pleasure of group classes with Greg, Robyn, David, and Jen. I've also taken numerous lessons at the Naperville Arthur Murray studio. When I researched other studios, the thing that impressed me most about Arthur Murray was how they would teach me multiple steps that could be used in a variety of different dances. I quickly learned that the group classes offered the opportunity to dance with multiple partners and to learn from a variety of people. I've made many new friends as a result of those classes. Arthur Murray is a perfect place to learn your "first couples dance" for your own wedding, or to brush up your skills for your own son or daughter's wedding. They prepared me, so that I could go social dancing with friends. My confidence increased as a result of dancing and I found it to be relaxing. It's a wonderful stress reviever after a difficult day. The atmosphere at the studio is fun, vibrant, welcoming.
