“My husband and I have been ballroom dancing on and off for several years but this Arthur Murray center is the first place we’ve felt really comfortable. The learning environment is supportive but we have definitely made real progress. We’ve also met some other ‘dancing couples’ and that has made our lessons even more fun. Overall, it’s a great experience!”
