Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Kansas City

If youre even remotely thinking about taking dance lessons in general, but especially for your wedding and/or first dance, dont even hesitate :) just call and schedule your complimentary first lesson. We originally planned to choreograph our own using YouTube videos. Thank goodness we decided to use Arthur Murrays instead. We decided to make the first lesson (again complimentary) a fun date night and then decide whether or not to pursue it. We had sooo much fun and ultimately decided to move forward with a lesson plan they offered. It was worth every penny. Each time we would work with a different instructor, but they all knew where we left off and helped to add in different moves, styles and finishing touches, so that within 6 weeks, we had a full dance, and practically had it memorized. It made our first dance at the reception so effortless and the pointers they gave us made for really great pictures. We are so happy that we came across this company, and could not have been happier with each and every instructor we had. They were all soo nice and professional and we hope to go back at some point to learn additional dances with them. Thank you to every one at Arthur Murrays who helped make our overall experience, and our big day absolutely perfect!

What a wonderful atmosphere! Great instructors and a great idea for a date night. Can't tell you how happy we are to have found this place! If there were 10 stars to give I'd give it! We had a blast!

I began in January 2021, with the 6 introductory classes. After the introductory classes, you're in the Bronze I class. Each week you have the option of a private lesson, a group lesson and on Fridays, there's a practice session where all levels meet and you can practice what you've learned. This wasn't in my skill set. The instructors are ridiculously patient as well as attractive. The patience was and still is, needed and appreciated. What have I learned so far? The basics and beyond for many of the following dances: 1. Foxtrot; 2. Tango; 3. Waltz; 4. Rumba; 5. Cha Cha; 6. Tripple Time Swing; 7. Single Time Swing (Jitterbug); 8. West Coast swing; 9. Bachata; 10. Salsa; 11. Merengue; 12. Samba; 13. Two step; 14. Nightclub two step; 15. Hustle; 16. Syncopated Hustle; and 17. the Polka! I've learned dancing terms and how to do them. Most importantly, I've learned that as you progress, the learning gets easier. They actually tell you this in the beginning. For me, it was very, extremely, difficult starting with only a bit of desire. Now, it's only very difficult to learn new dances and/or techniques with flourishes. Your results will vary, but that's ok, because they're marvelously flexible and patient. Schedule what you want and they'll make it happen. I've been out dancing and been told, "You know how to dance," by strangers, which is funny, because I know more than those who don't dance, but compared to those who do, there is so much to learn.
