I have no dance experience.
Can I learn to dance?

No worries. Most of us started out with no experience.
You may be worried that you don't have a sense of rhythm or that you can't remember what to do, but don't worry.
Arthur Murray has been teaching inexperienced dancers for over 100 years. Our unique method, honed through this long history, allows even first-time dancers to enjoy dancing right away.

How long does it take to learn to dance?

Arthur Murray's special method allows you to enjoy dancing from your very first day.
Although it requires step-by-step learning to dance many steps beautifully, you will quickly learn how to dance the basics. Please don't worry if you are a first time dancer.

Can I join alone?

Of course. There are many people who join alone.
In private lessons, your instructor will teach you while you dance together, and in group lessons, you will take turns dancing with other students and instructors, so there is no problem even if you are alone.

Can I have a trial or visit?

Trial and visit are available upon prior reservation.
Please contact us through the Contact Us page to discuss the dates and other details.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or clarifications.
You may also inform us by e-mail.
