Having a great time learning how to dance with my wife at Arthur Murray Dance Studio on North High Street. Our instructor, Tsali, is the best instructor weve ever had. Weve taken dance classes before at various times and have never quite found and instructor this helpful. The combination of individual sessions group sessions and dance practice make it a winning combination for us. Weve already Stepped On The Dance Floor at least twice, once at a wedding, which we never would have even tried it before in the past. We highly recommend this place.

Loved learning to dance for our wedding. Everyone loved the choreographed dance we had for our first dance, and we couldn’t be happier with the dance ourselves!!! Our dance instructor, Tsali, helped us make the dance, edit the music, and Arthur Murray gave us the opportunity to practice in front of other dancers. Overall, a wonderful experience!! We are excited to continue our dance education this summer.

They are passionate about what they do here. I have only taken one class thus far, but have learned a good deal within that time.They offer a variety of class sizes and several styles of dance.

My husband and I received a gift certificate for 2 free lessons and we enjoyed them very much. The instructor was fun, patient, and did a great job teaching the dances. We would definitely return if it was within our budget to continue. The only reason Im giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the sales pitch we received after the second lesson. I dont mind hearing about the options, but when someone says that its out of their price range then one ought to stop. Otherwise, we had a great time and highly recommend.

My wife and I wanted to learn a few steps to dance at our son’s wedding so we called quite a few studios to gather information, Mike the owner was the only one we called that answered the phone, he was very informative and polite.We signed up for an introductory package and it was so much fun learning to dance and actually being able to dance in public. Our instructor has been Mia and she is awesome, very knowledgeable and makes the learning fun. That was 9 years ago and were still at the school taking lessons.The owners and instructors are very compassionate in their dedication to teach you the correct methods and styles. They are very friendly and easy to communicate with, they offer private lessons, group lessons to support the private lessons and party nights were you can dance and enjoy the evening with other students.I highly recommend that you check out Arthur Murray of Columbus FIRST if you’re interested in learning to dance. They are simply the best

I did their $20 two half hour classes trial and it was amazing! Mia was my instructor and she was a superb teacher. Im not a good dancer but by the end of these sessions I was building confidence and ready to purchase an affordable 12 Class Package. Highly recommend.

I just started a few months ago and the staff is really friendly. I enjoy the theme parties the most. And, the people that show up are all supportive of all new comers. My instructor, Julia, is very patient, especially considering how bad at keeping tempo that I am.

My boyfriend and I just got done with our intro lessons, and we had a BLAST! Kyle, our instructor did a fantastic job showing us the ropes and being courteous and encouraging along the way. We were timid at first, but he did a great job putting us at ease. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Exceptionally talented instructors, however their approach is fun and simple which is important to any first timer. After the first two session I knew I was hooked and I am now excited to dance! Very much looking forward to my wedding! This is THE place to learn dance in Columbus, OH.

I was taught by an Asian instructor who was very unprofessional. She was semi- cordial to my husband and I, but when we walked in, she was screaming at her staff members.She did an okay job showing us a few dances, however we were shocked how expensive it was for the dance packages. It was only $10 for the first couple lessons and then they all of a sudden wanted $100 for a lesson. I would recommend going elsewhere like Emerald City or Dance Plus Ballroom where the prices are much more reasonable and the instructors are better.

I tried Arthur Murray through a Living Social discount, and have been hooked since the beginning! I finally found an enjoyable way to get exercise, socialize and feel more graceful and confident.....not to mention the satisfaction that comes from being able to learn the different dances and continue to improve in steps and technique. We just completed the December Showcase where I successully completed seventeen dances and was able to move on to the Bronze III level. The owner and instructors care about the students and their progress which makes the process even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this studio.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio is a classy establishment. My fiancée and I had Mia as our instructor. She put together a simple yet elegant routine for our first dance, and tailored it to our song of preference! Absolutely worth the cost and time, and an enjoyable way to spice up date nights!

Did one of their groupons. It was a great few dates with my wife. They had the obligatory sales pitch after the second or third lesson, which we actually considered (instead of just blowing off like we normally do). Really great instructors; beautiful facility.

Took classes here through a Groupon – knew we only wanted the 5 classes in our package, but they were incredibly pushy, annoying, and awkward about pushing us to sign-up for longer, more expensive class packages. Their dance instructors were great; both nice, good teachers, and made it a fun experience. But honestly, its horrible and truly not good business for the man who works there (and seems to be the manager or sorts) to be so insanely pushy. If anything, his rude, unprofessional sales tactics made us definitely not want to ever come back.

I would like to be as fair as possible, so naturally the best way to do this is to establish a pros and cons list.Pros:-Great experience with instructors-Instructors displayed thorough knowledge of dancing-Friendly receptionist and all around polite staff-Wonderful fun for my fiancé and ICons:-Pushy high pressure sales tacticYou might think that the rating is low considering the pros and cons, that should be an indication of how bad the sales experience was.We were given a groupon deal from my mother for Easter, and we were very eager to learn how to properly dance before our wedding in October. We had our first three lessons and they were absolutely wonderful. We had so much fun, enjoyed our time together, and enjoyed the constructive criticism from the instructors.At the conclusion of our third lesson we met with the man that seems to be the manager and he wanted to talk with us about possibly getting more lessons going forward. My fiancé and I were very excited as we were really enjoying the lessons and sat down. We were immediately shown the price list and realized we could not afford to move forward. The Deluxe wedding package that they suggested was something around $700. My fiancé and I recently graduated from college, we are trying to get ready for married life and supporting ourselves, and we politely said that this was outside of what we can afford.Generally I would think that this would be a fine response, but instead we were greeted with the phrase ha! That is what credit cards are for! And when I immediately shut down that retort he suggested we ask our parents or extended family to buy them for us. I was honestly appalled at that. How could he expect us to have the audacity to ask our families, who are already helping us so much financially, for more money. Next he talked about how well dance lessons would help our marriage, but if we have to go into debt to have them I think that is a poor decision. Do you know what the #1 cause of divorce is? Ill give you a hint, it isnt skipping out on dance lessons. Its debt. This went on and back and forth for about 10 minutes with him eventually inquiring as to what are our degrees are and where we work, which then caused statements that implicated that he thought based on our jobs that we could afford the lessons.Im not here to badmouth a small business, I love the aspect of supporting small businesses. It was honestly the most uncomfortable, unprofessional, and downright disrespectful situation we have been in. If you have a couple hundred dollars to spend on this, I would recommend it. If you dont then I would find something else instead.
