Weddings

Arthur Murray Dance Studios have been teaching the world to dance for almost a century!

We specialize in:
  • first and farewell dances
  • mother and son dances
  • father and daughter dances

We can teach you how to do it all:

  • simple movement around the floor ending in a dip
  • the basic Waltz
  • choreographed spins
  • Tango and Cha-Cha

We can put something together that is uniquely yours.

It is our experience that every couple has different needs, preferences, and time schedules, but everyone has the ability to be a good dancer with enough time. Wouldn't it be great to have the romance of dancing for the rest of your lives together!

Make Your First Dance Memorable!
Here are a few expert tips for couples who want to dance on their big day:

Don't Wait Until the Last Minute!
Remember that the schedule will get very hectic as the wedding day approaches. Dance instructors recommend starting four to six months earlier to allow more time for practice, especially if students are newcomers to dancing.

It's OK if You Haven't Chosen a Song
On your very first lesson, we will introduce you to the main dances most couples use. We can help make suggestions depending on which dance you like and are most comfortable with. If you already have a song selected, bring it with you to your lesson!

Be Patient While Learning
Dancing is a great stress reliever, and a fun date night, so don't put too much pressure on each other.

Don't Try to Teach Your Fiance!
You'll both have a lot more fun dancing if you let your instructor do the teaching.

Practice in the Right Shoes
Wear shoes to your lessons that are similar to the ones you'll be wearing on the big day.

Be Consistent with Your Appointments
The more often you come in, the less review there will be on each lesson. Plan at least once a week to get the most from your lessons.

Use the Group Classes & Practices When Possible
Everyone feels most comfortable on a private lesson, but the classes and parties will be closer to what the rest of your reception will be like, and the teachers will be there to help!

Learning to dance for a wedding is a special gift that you and your spouse-to-be can give to each other. A couple that feels confident and poised when they dance will ensure that their first dance together as husband and wife will be a memory they will cherish forever!
