Arthur Murray – A Franchised Dance Studio

The Vancouver Arthur Murray is a wonderful place to learn how to dance.
My partner and I started out here as total noobs and have had a fantastic time over the past 3+ years learning a lot of dances. They really know how to teach here — they structure private lessons and group classes to be good learning environments, and they make it fun and social. It’s a very warm, supportive environment to learn in; the other students are friendly and encouraging.
We’ve taken the occassional dance class outside of Arthur Murray (salsa) and the way those classes are taught really make us appreciate the Arthur Murray technique which is less frustrating and more productive.
I can’t say enough positive things about this studio.
As a bonus, it’s a franchised studio — so if you travel to another city with one, you can stop in and take classes there.
Also — lots of people come as singles — you don’t need to have a partner, everyone mixes and mingles in classes and at dance parties.
