Arthur Murray Dance Studio

I had my first lesson here last week. I have no dance experience but I have always wanted to learn salsa and tango. I bought a groupon for 2 private lessons, 1 group lesson, and 1 party lesson. It was soooo much fun! In the short 45 minutes I learned the basics of salsa and tango. Of course I’ll need more work but I felt it was a good start. The instructors were very patient and funny. I can’t wait for my second lesson!

Everyone at this studio has been nothing less than fantastic. Drew and Marcia are some of the kindest and most helpful people I have ever met. The other staff members are also really nice.
Drew and Marcia in particular have gone out of their way to help me prepare for my dance routine. They are genuinely interested in the advancement and enjoyment of their students. I will definitely be back for lessons in the future.
THANK YOU Drew and Marcia for your expertise, support, kindness, love, and overall amazing and inspiring attitudes!

What a wonderful surprise! This was something I had always wanted to do when I bought one lesson for my husband for Valentine’s Day. After our initial private lesson we were hooked and purchased several more. Now, we are into our third month and haven’t looked back. We laugh at the fact we now feel like «real» dancers. Drew, Marsha, Michelle and all of the other staff are just terrific. Patient and wonderful teachers! We couldn’t be more happy with our experience at Redlands A.M. What a wonderful surprise!

Very fun. I went there for my sister’s b-​day party for a beginner swing dance lesson. Twice as many girls showed up than men. So, the instructor made it work. I think it helped w/​getting to spend time w/​everyone. We had group A & group B of the women and just pick a man to practice ur dance with. Good times, I got to dance w/​my Dad, uncle, my brother in law’s dad, the instructor and her assistant! We learned 2 simple dance moves for swing and salsa. My legs r sore! lol Great work out. No complaints :)

On friday nights, this place is poppin! I’ve been here twice so far for the friday night group class and afterparty. From the moment I walked in, the people here were extremely friendly, and the classes are a lot of fun. The beginner classes are very, verrryy basic, so you don’t have to worry about feeling stupid just trying to keep up with everybody else. I’ve had that kind of experience before.
On fridays, they have a party after class so students can mingle and practice what they’ve learned on the dance floor. Food and beverages are provided as well, and I recommend hiding out in the kitchen area if you want to take a short snack break or something… If you’re in the seating area surrounding the dance floor, somebody is bound to ask you to dance… and how can you resist! :-D

My wife of 35 years +, Linda and I have been students at A/​M Redlands for approximately 4 years. I can say unequivocally and without reservation that one could not ever find a finer group of people. The instructors are all extremely professional and friendly and most are dancing champions of one sort or another. For me, dancing not only expanded my horizons as it were but is was great therapy to recover from a complicated operation on my brain back in September of 2006. I was left without hearing or inner ear function on my right side and couldn’t walk due to lack of balance ability. Of all the things I tried, dancing at A/​M turned out to be the best. I can pretty much walk normally now and manage many different dance steps. It is fun too due to all the various activiites and competitions they offer. We think of everybody there as part of the family now and know that they will always be lifelong friends. Due to an injury to my foot, I am not currently dancing but look forward to getting back to it soon. I agree with the other reviewer about the cost issues which accounts for my 4 out of 5 stars rating. It can be very pricely and like most hobbies or outside activities one can spend as much or as little as they want. In terms of value though, I would have to say it has been worth it for us. The «Dance-​O-​Rama» events which are held all over the country are the most expensive and we can no longer afford those. Many others are in the same situation though and manage a program to fit their budget.

I’ve been coming here for about 2-​years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I’d never danced prior to coming through their doors and they gave me the confidence and technique to hold my own while socially dancing. Also, I met my boyfriend here so this place holds a special place in my heart. However, I can’t give it 5 stars. I’m not a fan of the contracts they make you sign when you sign up for lessons – I absolutely dread getting called in the back offices to «talk» about my goals in dancing. They’ve been going through a lot of changes lately and it seems they are a little desperate to get new students and keep their current ones, like me. The reason for their attrition is the prices. They are extremely high. However, if you got the $$ to spare… go for it. I love my instructors and have seen the growth in myself, so it’s worth it to me. I know there is another studio down the street– which I have gone to several times; and actually one of my previous instructors now teaches there so I toyed with the idea of switching. Yet, for now, (and bc I still can afford it) I pick Arthur Murray.

The Redlands Arthur Murray Dance Studio is a great place to learn to dance the foxtrot, waltz, swing, samba, rhumba, tango, salsa, and 2-​step!
My wife and I have been taking lessons at Arthur Murray (Redlands) for four years so far. The instructors are all top-​notch dancers, as well as being very supportive and helpful.
The facility is almost brand new, and is very nice, and spacious!
