Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Northville

"Been going to Arthur Murray Northville for almost a year and a half now, and I’m excited every time I walk thru the doors. The instructors are incredibly skilled, and really care about the students and are invested in their learning. All of the students are friendly and it’s easy to make friends. The place has a family like atmosphere once you get to know the people, and I can’t picture myself ever leaving them. The first lesson is free, and I would highly recommend anyone to come and try it out!"

"My partner and I purchased a Groupon package and enjoyed the initial experience enough, we just didn't love the teaching format. This is the only dance studio we've attended, so I can't say if it is better or worse then others. The instructors all seemed very friendly and helpful. Once we purchased a set of lessons it all just felt really controlled - we didn't feel like we were learning what we came for. We wanted to learn a handful of dances for social situations and instead they made us a binder and we started checking off boxes that were required. The dances are so diluted and dumbed down that we weren't really learning to do the actual dances. It is apparently tought in phases over time? This was really the point that made me second guess the studio. Again, not sure if this is the norm, but it seemed like we were wasting time and money on something we didn't ask for. It felt rushed. We'd get there, learn a step or two - really basic, really simple stuff, and then it was time to go. The dance parties felt the same. It's a great idea but the songs are all about a minute long and it were over before we knew what was happening and actually got going. Group lessons were good because we usually had a different instructor and saw things explained differently, but they were not for us. I understand that dancing with other partners is supposed to help you improve, but it was extremely uncomfortable for both of us during and made it very hard for me to learn or focus on anything. The school plan at Arthur Murray felt really expensive to us - especially for what we were getting out of it - which seemed like very little. I really wanted to love it. We both did. Hopefully we find something more in tune with our style and our budget. I would say give it a try, but ask lots of questions so you know what to expect."

"Jay is my instructor and I am so happy being his student. He is very patient and kind. I look forward to each lesson with him. He has taught me so much and helps me feel confident in my abilities. This is a very warm and friendly place. I have made friends with many of my fellow students. I can't say enough."

"We had the greatest experience at Arthur Murray Northville while taking lessons to surprise and wow our guests at our wedding for our first dance. Summer was our instructor and was so awesome!! She was so patient with us and so supportive of us reaching our goal! She whipped up a little number for us that all of our guests raved on and on about!! Cindy was the first person we met when we arrived and the last one we had to share the video of our wedding dance with. She was such a cheerleader for us since the very first lesson. We never felt silly or embarrassed. We loved every second of our experience and our finished product!!"

"Been dancing her for 2 years. Best decision I made. All the teachers are friendly and knowledgeable. Private lessons, group lessons, dance parties, and organized events are all available."
