Arthur Murray Dance Studio Monterey

"I am visiting from SF for the weekend and saw on their website they have a Balroom dance party at 8.15 pm. Since there was no end time or price, I called them to ask about both. Guess what - a drop in to attend a 45 min party (the party is 8.15-9 pm) costs $35 per person. This is nuts…"

"Ballroom dancing has been on my bucket list for some time. I decided to try out the introductory (free!) lesson and came away with such a positive experience with my instructor, Emma, I bought a package of lessons. Now, 6 months later, I feel more comfortable dancing, have had a fantastic experience with my instructor Emma and enjoy the awesome experience the other instructors cultivate in the studio for group lessona.The atmosphere in the studio is fun, non judgemental and a great learning environment. I never feel embarrassed when I forget a step or need a refresher. Also noteworthy , working with Emma and Sarafina on a number of routines have taken me deeper into dance education than I expected to go and had an awesome experience every time. Highly recommend."

"The instructors at Arthur Murray are all patient and kind, and they go out of their way to make sure you're having the experience you want to get out of your dance classes. If you're not feeling a dance, you can work with your instructor to change things up. The group classes are a great compliment to your private lessons. There are tons of opportunities to practice a variety of dances, even if you aren't working on them in private lessons. They offer a discount if you pay for 20 lessons at once, but you can also just pay as you go if you prefer that. Overall, it's a great experience and so much fun!"

"I've taken dance classes at Arthur Murray for a couple months now and I always look forward to them!! My instructor, Jorge, is great at breaking down the steps and is always very enthusastic and encouraging. All the other instructors are also fun and the nightly group classes are great for meeting other dancers, getting excercise, and getting to practice what you learn in your private lesson. It is a great community!"

"We have really been enjoying dancing at this beautiful studio! The instructors are always friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and patient. The classes they offer 5 nights a week and the 2 practice dance parties really support the deepening of our learning and are nice ways to practice with the other students!"
