Arthur Murray Dance Studio

My fiancé and I had two private dance lessons with TJ. He was fantastic! He was funny and patient and made the experience so enjoyable and fun! He took us through most of the styles in our two lessons to give us a feel for each. It would be great if the private lessons were 60 minutes as opposed to 45, I think those extra 15 minutes would be very beneficial to wrapping up the lesson. All in all a great experience! We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I went to our first ever dance class today. It was such a wonderful day experience. We had tons of fun! Our dance instructor Sasha was amazing! She made us feel very comfortable. This dance studio has wonderful teachers and I can’t wait for our next dance class.

My fiancé and I wanted to learn a few steps for our upcoming wedding and they did an amazing job transforming us from clumsy dancers, into albeit not amazing dancers, but much better then we were when we started! Our first dance went well and we are very glad we took a few lessons!
It is also very nice how they will let you come to the studio at any time when they are open to practice, even if you are not scheduled for a lesson that day!

We initially started going to AM because we bought a Groupon. We quickly realized two lessons would not be enough for us! We bought a wedding package and have taken two lessons so far. Both of our lessons have been with Steven and he is wonderful! Everyone there is so nice and the instructors are very talented. They have really catered to our needs, wants and ability levels. We still have a few lessons to go before the wedding (fingers crossed our dance goes well!) and we are so happy to be doing them at this studio.

What started as a Groupon and my hopes that my husband would actually follow-​through and go with me the first time has turned into one of the most enjoyable things we’ve done as a couple. We have been taking lessons now for over a year and have a great time, we have seen progress (we’re slow learners) and love going to our classes. When time permits, we have our two teens take lessons as well — probably one of the best investments we have done for our kids. It has taught them confidence, poise, and best of all — how to dance in public.
The instructors are all great dancers, teachers and are very personable which makes it easy for anyone to feel comfortable and want to learn to dance. The one-​on-​one attention really allows the instructors to focus on you, and not a group of people.
For years, we would attend formal dinner/​dances and sit at the table watching others dance. I can finally say those days are over, thank goodness! We now spend more time on the dance floor than ever —

I bought a groupon to attend two private lessons at Arthur Murray in Mission Valley. My girlfriend and I just wanted to get a couple of steps down to be a bit more put together on the dance floor. Curt was our instructor, and he was awesome. He taught us 4 different steps catered exactly to what we wanted to learn and made it super fun. I highly recommend this place.

My fiancé and I bought the 2 private lessons groupon in order to learn a dance for our wedding. We wanted to do more than 7^th grade swaying! Our instructor, Elliot, was amazing. He was fun, energetic and knows his stuff! The first session we tried a bunch of different dances to try and decipher which we liked and which would fit our first dance song. The second lesson we began to really choreograph the dance. We could have opted to take what we learned and be on our way, but we were having fun, and decided to pay for 2 more lessons and really do it right. After 4 sessions we have a dance we love and feel much more confident about our first dance. I dare say we’re looking forward to it now! Thanks Elliot and the whole team!

Matt Carr is enthusiastic, fun, and makes dancing enjoyable. Even for people that have no experience like myself he doesn’t put you down and builds upon your strengths. Recommend for anyone Who just wants to have fun.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio (San Diego) is a fantastic place! I walked in the door a terrified, complete beginner and was immediately embraced by a very warm and supportive group of instructors! With great patience and support, they have taught me a TON about dancing, and there are moments when even I begin to think that I’m becoming a pretty good social dancer. From afraid of the dance floor to participating in dance competitions, it has been a very sweet journey!
In addition to lots of learning, I’ve also had a lot of fun. Everyone I’ve met at the studio has been great, and there are peeps from all walks of life, all there to just have a really good time. I’ve made many new friends, learned more then I ever would have imagined, and now look forward to going out and dancing!
If you’re looking for a place to have fun, learn or improve your dance skills, and want to do it in a very safe and supportive place with great people, then look no more. Check out Arthur Murray Dance Studio here in San Diego. You’ll love it!

Arthur Murray is the best place to learn how to social or competitively dance! I used to go to the one in Atlanta Ga until i was transferred out here in the Navy! The instructors are great at every studio I’ve ever been!

My boyfriend and I originally had a groupon (about $ 65) to come here. We’re always up for trying new things and decided that this would be fun because it’s out of our comfort zone, and we wouldn’t have done it otherwise.
The groupon included 2 private lessons, a group lesson, and a party. We were a little nervous when we got there, but our first lesson went really well. We had Janine as an instructor, and she was really patient with us. We made a lot of jokes and kind of goofed around a little, but I think she realized we just needed to get comfortable first. My boyfriend had (surprisingly) a lot of fun at the first lesson, and we were excited to come back for the group lesson (couple’s salsa). All of the instructors are energetic and laid back. They understand that we may be out of our comfort zones, but they make it fun and suggest trying new things when something isn’t working.
We definitely expected to have to sit down and go over packages — c’est la vie with groupons, but we didn’t expect they’d be so inexpensive! First we were told about the beginner package, which gave us 12+ lessons, including both group and private lessons. The package was somewhere around $ 500, which sounds scary, but they have student discounts which helped, and when you break it down per lesson and per person, it came out to about $ 20 per person per lesson. We spend more than that when we go out to the bar!
We didn’t jump at that package right away since my boyfriend was starting school soon and we didn’t know what his work load would be like. We were then offered a second option — $ 150 for 2 weeks of unlimited group lessons (usually 1 every night of the week, sometimes 2!), and 2 private lessons. We decided it was a better investment than bar hopping or sitting at home, so we went for it.
We bought the package last week, and have been going every chance we get! It helps me unwind after a long day of work, and it gets my boyfriend out of the apartment since he hasn’t started school yet. We’ve seen all types of levels, ages, and genders there. There really is something for everyone if you’re able to keep an open mind and laugh!

Way to Hard Sell for me. If I wanted to be taken into an office by a manager to discuss prices and payment options I would buy a car.
Also, the teacher was snotty. I don’t need his advice on how to talk to my fiancé, we have that covered. Keep your 20 year old opinions to yourself and dance.

If you want to learn social or competitive dancing then look no further. This studio provides everything to succeed. The instructors are well trained and love to dance. They truly care about their students. Believe me, they will become your second family. So what are you waiting for? Call them today. Two lessons for only $ 35!
