Arthur Murray Dance Studio

I'm glad I fulfilled this promise to myself because my Arthur Murray journey has been a successful one and I hope to continue it for many more years! more

During my short time at Arthur Murray, I have already gone to several parties where I have felt very comfortable dancing with women I didn't know, or at best hardly knew. I even competed at a Dance Festival where I dancer 52 separate "heats", not to mention several general dances and a "Jack n Jill" competition where a woman I had never seen before randomly drew my name out of a hat and partnered up with me in competition. more

I have been a student at Arthur Murray for 4 years now. The staff in Plano has truly become my dance family. Professional and friendly atmoshphere. They have definitely changed my life. I have been to many World Wide Dance Competitions over the years and have made some life long friends. Before joining Arthur Murray I attended several independent dance studios and let me tell you there is no comparison. There is a reason Arthur Murray has been around almost 100 years. That says it ALL. I can never express enough thanks to the staff at the Plano Studio they have changed my life forever. Along my dance journey I have successfully lost 65 lbs. and kept it off. Dancing helps shave off inches and pounds. If you want a life changing experience try a dance lesson youll be glad you did. more

When I first came in I didn’t quite know what to expect but was immediately greeted with a smile and a friendly face that put me at ease. And every day sense I’ve been greeted with that same friendly and energetic attitude. This is a positive learning environment, totally tailored to your dancing desires and schedule. more

Remember to live your life, laugh often, but most of all free your soul and always dance as if no one is watching! And where does one do all of this? Why...at Arthur Murray, of course! more

The instructors here at Arthur Murray love people and they love to dance. In my opinion, they are the most professional dancers that you will have the chance to work with. more

All of my instructors have given me the greatest tools to become the best dancer I can possibly be. It is through their love, care, belief, and high expectations that I have been able to achieve things in my dancing that I never dreamed would be possible. more

When I walk in the doors each day, you can feel the energy, excitement, and enthusiasm of everyone that is there. Once you walk through those doors, you do not want to leave. more

Within a week of coming to the studio, I remember coming up to the manager to tell her, "The staff and everyone here is my family. Thank you to you and your staff for letting me be a part of this fabulous family." more

I began my incredible journey with Arthur Murray in October, 2006. I will never forget walking in for my first lesson. It was a day of excitement. I came in that day thinking that I would take a few lessons and never dreaming that it would change my life forever. more

Of course, the dancing instructors and staff at Arthur Murray are first rate; they display an uncommon blend of knowledge, enthusiasm, and patience that make the overall experience a true pleasure. They're great to work with, consistently pleasant, and very supportive. They are all expectional instructors. more

I first purchased a group of five Arthur Murray lessons for my wife and me in December of 2005 as an "out of the box" Christmas gift. Little did I know at the time that we'd still be enjoying the experience and learning a lot four years later. more

I lost weight from the beginning of my dancing, and then in April of 2009 I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I decided then and there that I was going to beat the diabetes that it was not going to beat me. I changed my diet that day and started dancing a little harder. Through diet and dancing (exercise) I have lost about 40 lbs. and stayed off of the diabetes medication. Do I think you would like to start taking lessons to learn to dance? YES You say you have two “left” feet…I have heard that before, then the ones that said that start taking lessons with one of the great instructors and they don’t have two “left” feet anymore! Yes…West Coast Swing is still my personal favorite, but I enjoy all of the dances more

Through dancing at the Dallas studio, I have met some new friends, learned new steps outside of my comfort zone and learned how to dress up again. The studio is my other home, the one place where I can unwind and forget about the housework for a bit, and the science project I have to help my daughter finish or the stress of life as a news reporter. I look forward to my dance classes not only because I can "chill out" for those couple of minutes, but because I can see my friends and also my instructors who make "how was your day?" sound so welcoming and just wonderful. Why wouldn't I want to do this forever? more

Where to begin...I love to dance! And thanks to Arthur Murray and the Plano staff of great teachers, they helped my husband and I become better dancers. It's wonderful to attend a party and my husband has the confidence to ask me to dance. We hardly sit down. It's great!!! Along with that we are fortunate enough to have been able to travel around the country and see the sights and dance in several competitions that have been life changing experiences. We have been to places like Florence, Italy, Hawai'i and Banff, Canada. We meet people who share the same interest in dance, and get the excitement of competitions and accomplishment all in one. We share a camaraderie with the other students and the Arthur Murray family. It's like having an extended family. Dancing with Arthur Murray has also been a great way to get back in shape. I lost 53 pounds and my husband lost 30 pounds. We have been dancing with Arthur Murray for around 2 years now and our energy level has improved tremendously, and we get off that couch and do what we enjoy! I can say this to the women who think their husbands won't enjoy dancing...My husband was not at all happy to take lessons with me, but after the initial lesson he decided to go forward with it. He happens to like Country Western dancing better than the Smooth or Latin, which of course is what I like to do. So, we made a deal. I do some Country, he does some Latin. Believe it or not, we have both enjoyed learning and dancing with each other as well as with our teachers. So, my advice to you is give it a try, you won't be sorry! more

At age six, Taylor loved to dance and watch others dance. Ten months ago she began lessons at Arthur Murray, Wow! We have watched Taylor change from a shy little girl to a confident young lady who loves to perform! She looks forward to dancing with her instructor each week. Our family enjoys dancing with Taylor and others at the Friday dance parties. We look forward to watching Taylor continue to gain self-confidence and develop skills as a ballroom dancer. We look forward to all the new experiences that we will share with Taylor at Arthur Murray. more

I have always loved to watch people dance and wanted to learn but didn't think I could learn or even have the chance to learn. One of my Best friends wanted to learn some dancing so he signed us up for lessons. I had a very low self esteem when I started lessons and with the encouragement of the instructors and my best friend I was learning to dance. I have had more fun since I have been a student at Arthur Murray and my self confidence is getting better. The instructors are so positive and understanding. It is so amazing when you are dancing it is like a fairy tale and I am the princess. I can't wait to dance with my son at his wedding this weekend, a dream come true! Thank you Sara and Rich for all your hard work you have invested in me! Thank you for believing in me! more

I see it as a fantastically fabulous, awesome, amazing experience. My thought is to be up to the challenge of having fun, meeting new people and learning to dance while working with our talented staff. For me personally it has changed my life for the better and hopefully it will do the same for new and future students. more

The highest rating I can give anyone is the label "awesome". Everyone I have had contact with at the dance sutdio has earned this rating with me. more

I've been surprised to see the benefit of setting goals in my dancing and then the pride that comes from achieving them. My instructors and the executive team work with me to do this and it has made me more focused on what I plan to do each year. Weight loss and weight management have been other benefits I've experienced. Along with a proper diet, dancing has helped me achieve the goal of losing twenty pounds and keeping it off! I'm glad I fulfilled this promise to myself because my Arthur Murray journey has been a successful one and I hope to continue it for many more years! more
