Arthur Murray Broadway Dance Center NYC

An excellent place to learn ballroom dancing! Very professional, friendly, and supportive staff!

We signed up for private dance lessons with Arthur Murray to choreograph a first dance for our wedding, as well as learn basic dance moves so we'd feel more natural on the dance floor on our big day. We mostly worked with Lexi in the private lessons, although we also took a few lessons with Crystal. Our package of private lessons came with unlimited group lessons, so we tried to take at least one group class a week - those were mostly taught by Ricardo. Everyone at Arthur Murray was fantastic and welcoming! As soon as we walked in the door, they were excited to see us and very encouraging. We never felt like our poor foot-eye coordination was being judged by any of the teachers. We learned how to waltz, tango, foxtrot, rumba, salsa, cha cha, as well as a few other dances, and learned how to know what type of dance to do with current music. Lexi was especially amazing - when we told her we liked two songs for our first dance she edited them together and choreographed our dance to work with the transition. Our first dance (and wedding) went great! We would definitely recommend Lexi and the whole Arthur Murray crew to anyone else hoping to learn how to dance for their wedding.

We came in as brand new ballroom dancers who needed to learn from scratch for our daughter's wedding. We are taught by an alternating male and female instructor every other lesson and both are fantastic! In barely 4 weeks, we were fully prepared and confident to go out on the dance floor for a variety of dances, albeit using basic steps at this stage of our learning. The atmosphere is extremely friendly and supportive and one gets warm greetings every time from a number of the staff who all get to know you, not just your two instructors. In addition to paid lessons, there are free classes every day of the week one can attend, as many of as you want. My wife and I enthusiastically recommend Arthur Murray!

Arthur Murray on Columbus Ave is amazing! The teachers are outstanding and so supportive, and between private lessons, group classes, and parties, my dancing has progressed enormously. The other student are so friendly yet everyone takes their dancing and performing seriously. The online classes I have taken this past week have also been excellent and so great during this challenging time -- they really are going the extra mile for their students!

This is an amazing studio. The instructors Lauren, Jean Rene and others are awesome. They are professional and fun. They have regular dance parties where you can practice and showcase your routines, and watch others' performances. When I was sick and had to take a break from dancing, the studio sent me text messages of encouragement and a beautiful bouquet. I'd strongly recommend the studio and the teachers
