Arthur Murray Dance Studio Oakbrook Terrace

"**** BUYER BEWARE **** This place makes you pay for a dance lesson without providing future cost information. I made the $40 investment for a 30 minute dance lesson. I regret it and should have trusted my gut! After the lesson I was finally shown the prices. For a single the cheapest option is $560! The $560 gets you 4 individual lessons and unlimited group classes. If you’re a beginner there’s about 3 group lessons a week. I was questioning the costs before I even started and the staff continued to reassure me they have a plan for everyone’s budget. They don’t! The lowest they could go was $160 for 1 private lesson and 2 weeks of group classes. Passing this information to the next single mother looking for a new hobby so they don’t get hoodwinked like I did!"

"Staff is very knowledgeable. They are all like family. The owner, James, makes sure he gets to know every student, he is wonderful."

"Wow!!!!! Wow!!!! Wow!!!! I can only just applaud this wonderful team of instructors. They are some of the best in the business. They put their heart and sole into the students and their dedication to teaching people the beauty of dance. My wife and I have been with Arthur Murray for several years and we are reminded day after day how great the owner of the studio James Dutton has run this studio and his ability to develop staff that are true professionals. We have been taking lessons for several years and plan on continuing for many more to come. They certainly make the learning process fun and enjoyable. We Love Arthur Murray Oakbrook and hope we see you as part of this amazing family soon!!!! See you on the dance floor!!!!"

"I have been learning to dance with Arthur Murray Oak Brook for six months. Originally, I thought I would only take a few lessons just so I could learn to follow someone on the dance floor. I didn’t think I would be attending the group classes but that quickly changed after I attended my first one. I had so much fun learning the basic steps and continuing to work on what I had learned in my private lessons. The staff is amazing, and makes you feel extremely welcome. I have learned so much from my awesome instructor, Greg. From the beginning, he tailored my lessons to my specific expectations, and he is always patient when I mess up. I now feel comfortable following in most of the different dances. Greg and another really great instructor, Robyn, have choreographed two different routines, just for me, which I have learned and performed at some of the different Arthur Murray events. On Fridays, after group class, there is a party for everyone to get together to dance. It gives you an opportunity to dance with students at all different skill levels. At any given time, you will probably see some of the students hanging after class to practice or socialize. It is definitely a fun atmosphere that you will enjoy. So, if you have ever thought about trying ballroom dancing, you should stop by Arthur Murray Oak Brook. You will have so much fun; meet a lot of new friends; and burn a lot of calories."

"My wife and I started taking lessons back in May of 2012 for fun. Six months into it and we are having a blast. She has always wanted to learn to dance and I want to make her happy. The staff here is amazing. Our personal Instructor, Greg K., could not be more fun to work with. His knowledge is unreal and and his energy is contagious. The daily group classes are also very fun and give you something to do here almost every day of the week! Learn to dance, make some friends and it's a fun form of exercise. If you told me a year ago what I would be doing now and what I had learned in these past 6 months, I wouldn't believe you. If you have ANY desire to learn how to dance, stop in to Arthur Murray today."
