Reviews of Twin Cities Arthur Murray (Dance School)

Georgiana Ewing

The instructors are highly professional and are unwavering in their encouragement. My husband and I signed up for a few lessons befor our son's wedding 18 months ago. We still go tot least once a week. It's a blast.

Too expensive for the services provided and lack of availability for more seasoned instructors drove me away. Customer service varies in quality and pressure is placed on students to perform and spend more money.

As a first timer to one of these dance studios, I enjoyed the experience. The group was about 20-30 people and we were in a rotation, so no partner was needed. The teacher was patient, as well as the other people who came to the session. All our levels ranged from beginner (like me) to professionals (competitors for local events).

I had my introductory lesson today. It was awesome! The staff are professional, personable, and super fun. Nikki was wonderful and more than patient for a first-timer like myself. I would definitely recommend!

Arthur Murray Minneapolis is pure joy and a great challenge if you want it to be! The staff and students are some of the most supportive and kind people I’ve met. If you have a love of dance or need something positive and uplifting in your life then you need to come give it a try. Never have I left a lesson or a practice party in a bad mood. You can come just for fun and friendship or you can come to work on being a better dancer. It lifts the spirit, it’s fun, it’s a great workout but truly the best part of coming to Arthur Murray Minneapolis is its teachers and the students!

When I began taking dance lessons at Arthur Murray I knew I would have fun dancing and was excited to learn, but I had no idea how many more amazing things were in store! Meeting lots of cool people. Experiencing how amazing it is to be taught by, and dance with, professional dancers. A guaranteed mood and energy boost. Increased flexibility and strength. Healing of body and soul. It's in my top 5 coolest things I've done!

I am now in my third year of regular lessons at Arthur Murray. It has proven to be a positive life-changing experience. I feel part of the dancing community of students and teachers, I love the instruction I receive, and I have learned great skills in about a dozen different social dances. I attend as many of the free group dances on weeknights and free bi-weekly parties to maximize the value. My wife and I love to dance. This is the best place to learn to dance well in the Twin Cities! I find all the staff at Arthur Murray to be competent and kind and they have helped me to become passionate about dancing!

As a child of the 70’s when dancing was ‘doing your own thing’, learning to dance properly has always been on my bucket list. Two years ago I took the plunge and started dancing here. It is much more than I expected. The instructors are excellent. I’m learning both ballroom and club dances like hustle and salsa. In addition to individual lessons there are dances every week with the other students. For me, it is also my preferred form of exercise.

It is one of the best decisions I ever made. Dancing is a beautiful form of expression. Everyone is very helpful and interested in helping you become better. It is the best place to learn to dance and is a lot of fun.

I went to Arthur Murrays to learn how to bachata and found out there's so much more to dancing and bachata! Ballroom dancing has been a gift, a great outlet, a form of expression for me! Arthur Murray staff and teachers are warm and friendly, and provide a positive learning environment for me to grow as a competent dancer. There's so much fun and camaraderie! I enjoy my experience with Arthur's and highly recommend to anyone who wants to give it a try!

Hello, Kruccus International was honored to be invited to perform at Arthur Murray dance Studio's event on 8/18/2017 in Chicago at the Westin Hotel. The event was a wonderful affair and full of energy, life and personality. Mark Vaughn, as Director, and the rest of the cast of Kruccus International thoroughly enjoyed performing at the event, and was pleased with the professionalism exhibited by the correspondent for Arthur Murray during the negotiations period and at the event. We look forward to working with the organization in the near future. Mark Vaughn Kruccus International.

After my Dad and my Sister had spent about a year dancing at Arthur Murray they convinced me to give it a try. After over a year of dancing I can say it's one of the best things I've ever done. The first obvious benefit is that it's good exercise, but that's not all. As someone who is on the autism spectrum and also suffers from fatigue, learning to dance has given me an incredible boost to my confidence in social situations as well as boosting my stamina. It doesn't stop there though, because the community of teachers and students is amazing. Everyone has been very supportive of me as I worked my way through all the dances and I've made some very good friends during my time there. Overall I'd recommend that just about everyone should at least give it a try. We'd love to have new members join our Arthur Murray family.

If I could give zero stars, I would.

I have enjoyed my experience learning to dance with the Staff at Arthur Murray a great deal. My dancing skills have improved many-fold and my circle of friends has grown considerably. I recommend both dancing and learning how or improving whatever dancing skills you may already have with Arthur Murray and its methods and instructors.

Meredith Waller

The instructor we worked with was really nice, but I wouldn't recommend this as the best place to go to learn your first dance for your wedding. They are definitely more focused on increasing skills long-term and that just wasn't what we were looking for. Although we were open about what we needed, our lessons were very slow moving and the main focus seemed to be making money. The last 1/4 of each class was sitting in an office talking about buying another package. If you're looking for something more focused on exactly what you want, I would HIGHLY recommend Caitlin with First Dance Twin Cities.

Absolutely horrible experience, instructors are rude and locking in any customer service. They do not even try to make you feel welcome, all is going on is that they are trying very hard to sell you one of their programs that costs upward of $600 and if you decide not to buy it, then they really do not have any desire to teach you anything. We bought the four dancing lessons on Amazon and had to call Amazon to request our money back since the experience was that bad. And do not even think that you might be able to complain to the owner, her only response to us was that we do not have to come back. We took lessons in couple of different studios in Florida and Minneapolis, this was by far the worse experience we ever had. Save your time , money and a lot of aggravation, take your dance lesson at he welcoming professional place, where they value you as a customer and appreciate you business.

This is my happy place, my Father and I started taking lessons together about 2 years ago just for fun, everyone; both students and staff, were very supportive of us during our tentative beginnings as we learned the basics, and realized that learning to dance can't happen overnight. Now that I'm more experienced I enjoy welcoming the newcomers and watching them grow in confidence just as I did. I adore my instructors, they push me hard to be better but are also very patient with me. I love that there is group class every night and practice parties twice a week, which are free with your program. This is a place to come to forget your worries, it's a place full of love and support, I always look forward to my time at Arthur Murray and I always leave feeling great. Dance is a wonderful thing because it combines fun, fitness, being social, creativity and boosts your confidence in everything you do, I would highly recomend Twin Cities Arthur Murray to anyone.

My husband and I came to Arthur Murray 3 years ago to learn to dance for our daughter's wedding, and we've never left! It is so great to learn together, in a fun and supportive community with teachers who are so skilled and so patient. It is exercise, music, education and social--all wrapped up together! The staff and the other students are tremendous!
