Arthur Murray Dance Studio

Make sure you ask the instructor to lay down all future fees and expenses on paper for you. He’s a good teacher and i do have talent. But you’ll end up spending hundreds extra if you’re not careful.

Honestly, this places is such a scam. It’s overpriced for what you receive. We went for a free consultation, and I was very disappointed — I felt like I was negotiating with a used car salesman, for something that was way overpriced to begin with. I’ve taken dance lessons in the past, and I was not impressed with the level of technique we would be taught. I suppose this is fine if you’re an absolute beginner with no rhythm whatsoever.

Dancing at Arthur Murray’s in Commack is the best! The instructors are great and the parties they have during spring and summer are awesome. Just dined and danced at the NY Historical Society and it was fabulous. Great place for anyone who wants to learn ballroom to latin, social to competition dance.

A few months back, my parents decided to start taking dance lessons for my upcoming wedding. They chose this location because of the proximity to their house.
About 2 weeks ago, I was invited to come with them to a dance party there, so I could meet everyone and dance with my dad. I found the atmosphere to be a little awkward and stuffy. The instructors, while nice, were a bit pushy and rehearsed with their conversation.
The dance party got underway, and we switched rapidly from one style of dance to another. I was having a hard time following what was going on, and I already know how to dance!
My parents said that their private lessons follow the same protocol; they learn a different dance each week. I can tell that their progress has been hindered by this teaching style; I expected them to be more confident on the dance floor at this point.
This place is not for me.
