The class schedule is flexible, offering everything from newcomer, intermediate to advanced and specialty classes.

I'm going to start out by saying I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to dance and move like I wanted to or even look like I was dancing, I'm a big construction harley driving guy.. Not so light on the feet.. To my surprise they had me dancing THE FIRST LESSON!!! I was hooked right away and was motivated to start to work out again... this was and is life changing... This is definitely a confidence booster and YOU CAN DO THIS.. I plan on taking dance classes for a while... Not only is this a great dance studio this more so s a family!!!!!! You are immediately welcomed and tried as is they knew you for years and were so glad you were here... I teach sales and business coaching and I can tell when companies are glad you are there because the profits go up, but not the case with Arthur Murray in Ocala... You can tell they actually LOVE what they do and they LOVE helping you learn AT YOUR PACE... your not forced to try to learn at other people's pace, this is truly customized to your skill level, your goals. I could go on and on about how life changing this is but I would HIGHLY recommend at least TRY IT!!! You will be glad you did, and when you do say hi when you go to one of the great parties they put on all the time... Looking forward to seeing you as you start chasing your goals as I did not so long ago read more

My husband and I started taking dance lessons at the Arthur Murray dance studio in Ocala, Florida in March 2022. By November we had developed dance skills in a variety of styles and the confidence to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary at the studio with our friends and performed a spotlight waltz to our favorite song. We've been taking private weekly lessons, and also enjoy participating in the free group classes. The owners and dance teachers are very professional and talented. They truly care about helping students achieve their dance goals. Dancing is a great hobby for people of all ages. We've made new friends and lost a few pounds along the way! Call for your free, introductory lesson you'll be glad you did! read more

I have always wanted to try ballroom dancing so I made an appointment in late July at the Arthur Murray dance studio in Ocala, FL. I signed up for dance lessons that day and have been dancing ever since! The owners, Nick and Aubrey Watkins, are so kind and work with my schedule. They provide special events with guest musicians so we have the opportunity to practice in real settings. We have many classes in all dance styles from waltz to hip-hop and everyone at the studio makes it fun! One of the best things I have ever done for myself!

I have been participating in their Traditional Bikram 90 minutes class since December 2019. Shira is a very knowledgeable and professional instructor. From my observations, the studio is following CDC guidelines. For example, they are limiting the number of students in each class maintaining social distance, disinfecting all surfaces, requesting students to stay at home if they do not feel well. Students are expected to bring their own mats, towels and drinks. After several disk herniations, practicing hot yoga has greatly improved my flexibility thus I have been able to prevent traditional surgery. Also I have more breathing and cardiovascular endurance while swimming and bicycling. As a final perk, my skin looks great :) Thank you One Hot Yoga! Wanda :)
