He was also flexible about working with our limited schedule. Thanks for a great lesson, Ty! We'll definitely be returning! read less

Decided to surprise her with an early Christmas present with lessons from Arthur Murray Dance Studio. From start to finish an amazingly fantastic experience. From coordinating our first dance lesson to our instructor Ty.

But ultimately what made our experience so memorable was our instructor Ty. His energy and excitement was absolutely contagious and really helped me not get caught up feeling like I had two left feet. Straight forward and just an honestly great teacher.

I would strongly recommend to anyone, especially young couples to invest in dance lessons and specifically arrange for Ty to be your instructor! read less

I have been going to Arthur Murray Seattle for about 6 months now. I have met and danced with each and every member of the team here and can say with certainty that they are the most positive group of welcoming people I have ever met. They do a fantastic job of bringing you in, getting you started and building your confidence, regardless of previous experience. And of course the non-instructor members of the team are friendly and helpful as well.

I spent 30 years on the borders of dance floors because I felt foolish and didn't know what to do. After 2 weeks here I was able to get over that feeling and join some friends on a dance floor in a club in Seattle. After your introduction 3 courses, there is a foundational set of 6-12 courses (I think) and then you can enter the level I am in now (Bronze) and it builds from there. While enrolled in the foundation, bronze and above you have access to group classes (as many as you want while you are enrolled in private courses), and the Friday night parties.

The Friday night party is one hour where you can get the best practice trying out your new moves in a supportive, learning, and fun envirnonment. During these parties they will play a song (for about 90 seconds or so) and call out the dance the song is for, and then everyone is free to ask a partner to dance and go for it - getting a real world scenario experience. Of course, the instructors are all over the floor as dance partners, and if you don't happen to know that dance, you can gather in the center of the dance floor to be tought the basic steps so you can dance that dance with zero previous experience.

There are also larger (optional/extra) events where you can get an opportunity to perform dances and get professional feedback. Every six months there is an event called Medal Ball where this happens on a smaller, local scale, including all six of the local Arthur Murray studios. Every six months (in between the Medal Ball events) there are larger events called Show Case, and I believe these may involve more traveling. So there are one of these events each quarter. There are other annual events such as Dance-O-Rama which take place all over the USA and internationally.

The main dances you can learn here are Waltz, Tango, Fox Trot, Rumba, Bachata, Salsa, Hussle, Swing, and Cha Cha. Some of the less common dances that I know are available are Country Western 2-Step, Bolero, and Samba - but I know they know many others and if you have interest in another dance they are quite likely to help you. And of course they can help you create a routine for your event-based dancing (wedding first dances, Bride/Groom and Father/Mother dances, etc.)

One of the greatest parts of the logistics of Arthur Murray is their use of text messages for broadcoasting announcements, group classes, and events, scheduling future lessons, and even automated reminders of upcoming lessons.

The community of dance students are wonderful, positive, and welcoming people as well. Overall this is an excellent choice for starting, continuing, or reigniting your ballroom dancing journey. read less

Let’s try out the free dance class; it might be a fun way to exercise.

How it’s going: Lo and behold, dancing has absolutely changed my life. It’s been over 3 months and I am obsessed in the best way. I discovered a passion for ballroom dance, and a beautiful community with talented, knowledgeable, and encouraging teachers and friendly, welcoming students.

Don’t miss the Friday parties; such a fun way to meet the other students, and show off what you’ve learned! read less
