I cannot say enough great things about Arthur Murray Dance in Beverly Hills. My husband and walked past it almost everyday before deciding to start taking lessons and I regret that we didn't start MUCH SOONER! If you have been thinking about trying out Ballroom, book classes with them now. The instructors are incredible! Every single one of them and the environment is supportive and we are learning ALOT! There are students of all ages and abilities which I LOVE! The teachers know how to get the best out of you no matter what your ability. The people I have met through the studio are so wonderful. What I love most is that people leave their "baggage" at the door and come to have fun, reconnect, and activate that mind body connection. Everything about it is best in class! read more

The best teachers and fun parties. I wouldn't go else to learn the latest dances. I love the new people I meet.

I first visited the studio taking advantage of their referral discount in February 2021. I'm so grateful to Serge and Kate. They really work with you to become better dancers and find that extra confidence. So happy to find my dance family! read more

Great students and great staff in this studio. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to brush up on their dance skills!

My wife and I came to learn a dance for our event! It has been outstanding! Kate took us under her wing, and taught us a very detailed class in just several classes! Extremely clean and professional! Very great pricing! I could not be any happier! read more

Great studio with a great new owner! Serge has worked in so many Arthur Murray studios over the last decade and now he's bringing his expertise to this location. He's a wonderful dancer, teacher and business owner! Thumbs up all around for this new change! read more

I love this studio and my teacher Preston is amazing!!! We dance competitions and win all the time, Preston takes his work very seriously and is also very creative when it comes down to choreography. He is great at explaining things and wants me to be perfect at ballroom dancing. Thank you very much for all the hard work. Maria read more

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Beverly Hills - Dance Schools Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

See all

Honestly KATE, the woman who taught the private couple's class we took, is more than just a dance teacher. The advice she gave us how we connect to eachother in dance was SPOT ON addressing issues we carried in our relationship. This isn't just a dance class. It's dance THERAPY. Cheaper than marriage counseling and WAY more fun. She's super attentive and responds to all calls texts even made even outside of her paid hour. read more

I started dancing at this studio in October 2020 and, since my first lesson, I haven't left. The instructors here are AMAZING!!!!! They are kind, encouraging, supportive and professional. In this studio, we are all like family and I couldn't be happier with my choice to come here rather than anywhere else. read more

Want to pick up a new hobby? Amaze your guests with a killer first dance? Join a fun and welcoming community? Compete for money and glory? I've seen them all happen here, so look no further. Even if you ever thought you couldn't dance, I'm here to tell you that you can solve your two left feet problem by dropping into Arthur Murray in Beverly Hills. I went from being the guy with his back plastered to the wall at weddings to having people line up to ask me where I learned to dance, all thanks to the teachers at Arthur Murray. I can't say enough great things about the instructors and students at Arthur Murray. Eleven out of Ten! read more

Kate and Evan were phenomenal! Without a doubt the best dance class I have ever taken.

Scott was fantastic. Patient, fun and creative. I highly recommend him. Great dance lesson.

My now-husband and I took dance lessons with Evan to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. Neither of us are dancers at all, and Evan made us comfortable from the first lesson. He is a wonderful and personable teacher who made us look forward to going to class. We would highly recommend him! read more

Stoped in for a group class and was truly impressed with the professionalism and welcoming atmosphere. If I lived in the area I would definitely take classes here. Evan and his staff are top notch. read more

My fiance and I were toying with the idea of taking dance lessons for our wedding in February so when she got the email about the free lesson she pounced on it like a hungry lion on a buffalo. We wanted to learn something more than just swaying side to side like how 80's movies portray how catholic school kids danced at their proms. No swag or flavor! However, we were also not aiming for "Dancing with the Stars" with moves that's sure to rip a tux or dress. Something in between will do. Stefanie, our instructor, helped us pick a dance that fits with our song, skill, and timeline. She was very informative, friendly, and outgoing. We definitely didn't feel the hard sell and we were able to find a package that was perfect for us. We're completely happy with the results! Maybe we'll buy another package because..."they be like smooth (what?) Can u teach me how to dougie? You know why?...."! read more

Prior to our wedding, my wife and I were looking to choreograph our first dance. We got an online coupon for three 1-hour dance classes and decided to try out Arthur Murray. Parking is rough -- street parking if you can find it or paid lot. We managed to get a metered spot after hours. I am not an avid dancer, but the instructor was so talented and professional and taught us so much in that first hour. I was blown away by the level of talent and the teaching ability. It was fun for the hour ... until the "boss" came around to up-sell us. He came on so strong with an "offer" to teach us to dance for over $500 for approximately 3 private lessons and a rehearsal. The initial "offer" floored me and we asked for time to think about it. He plainly suggested that we just NOT DANCE at our own wedding because it would be HORRIBLE and he stepped away from the table. We were insulted. But rather than leave, we tried to smooth out the situation by asking our instructor for a single-lesson price. The "boss" yelled "170 DOLLARS" from across the room full of instructors and students. Our instructor was visibly embarrassed. Leaving that night, I never wanted to dance again, but my wife convinced me to complete our coupon and we came back for the other 2-hours which consisted of a consecutive group lesson and party/social hour. It was amazing and fun and every single instructor was able to help us learn a little more and enjoy our time there. The coupon was worth every penny. I appreciate every single instructor at Arthur Murray. They are talented, friendly, and patient. But something about the administration needs to change if they don't want to drive away potential students. read more

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn't come in with a coupon and I didn't find the pressure was as bad as they made it out to be... maybe there was a change of management. But either way, the studio is amazing and it really feels like a family when you are there. When you walk in, all the instructors great you and they are not at all like the snooty Beverly Hills type I expected. I've danced before, but ballroom is a whole new experience, it's a great work out and a great social atmosphere to be in. Sure it's more expensive than 24 Hour Fitness, but what do you expect? The teachers genuinely care about your progress and want you to learn how to dance. To anyone who is even considering trying out ballroom dancing, just try the intro lesson and see how great it is for yourself. read more

I've been dancing for a few years and just moved to California. I decided to dance more seriously and was looking for a dance studio to improve my dance technique. I've seen so many bad reviews of Arthur Murray Studio on several websites but decided to give a shot because I wanted to find a great dance studio for myself and their first lesson is free. I contacted them through their website and scheduled a free first lesson. I went there all the way from Southbay but they just told me they can't find any information about me in their computer and just reschedule it. ...Thank you so much Kent who was supposed to schedule my first lesson! I can't believe I wasted my time and $5 parking fee for nothing. I wouldn't mind investing money for dancing but this is stupid. Of course, I'm not coming back and they just lost a student. I guess I was lucky that I won't have a chance to be pushed to buy lesson packages. According to the receptionist, they only offer packages which include group classes, private lessons and social parties to students but not walk-ins. If you want to take their first free lesson, make sure you call them beforehand and see if they really scheduled it. And prepare yourself for sales talk! read more

The instructors are absolutely amazing. They know how to help and work with every age, body type and body size. I am a 6'4 caucasian male, and when I walked into the studio, I had very little rhythm and even less technique and coordination. After a shore 2 1/2 months, I'm not Fred Astaire yet, but I am smoother and more confident in my dancing ability. I owe it all to the instructors. I originally went in, wanting to learn swing and not really anything else. After one of their group parties though, I informed my instructor I wanted to learn everything that Arthur Murray has to offer. I'm still heavily into swing dancing, but I have also learned: Waltz, Rumba, Salsa, Cha Cha and Hustle to name a few. The instructors make it so much fun, you honestly do not believe you are learning, you're just having an absolutely great time dancing. The instructors are incredibly patient and understanding. They will go over a move multiple times with you until you have it. The only thing that could possibly be considered negative is the Parking. Street parking in Beverly Hills is atrochous at times, but the studio is less than a half block from an underground parking structure. Whether you are just starting to learn to dance or you want to learn how to Ballroom dance or you're looking for a way to exercise that is way more fun than the gym, I recommend Arthur Murray studios in Beverly Hills, the Staff and instructors are extremely warm and welcoming and it truly is a whole lot of fun. read more

I have been taking classes here with my fiancé to have some fun and get ready to dance at our wedding this summer. This place is perfect and I hope that even after the wedding we can continue to come back to keep learning and having fun! We have had great experiences with all instructors and staff-- people who genuinely seem to care about you and your progress and truly love what they do. I felt inspired when talking to one of the instructors, who commented on how meaningful it was that people keep learning to dance. Even if you have zero experience in this area (or no rhythm), they will relentlessly bring out unique ways to help you get better. As a teacher I really appreciate this flexibility and individual attention. One of the teachers likened different motions or steps to driving a car or golfing to help my handsome dance partner understand what he was supposed to be doing. I'm very thankful for this place! read more

The teachers are fantastic. The classes are fun They have me dancing like a star! I have never been in a better shape and my body shows the changes. I will never stop. read more

My fiancée (back then) and I took private lessons for our first dance here, and it was a blast! My husband and I had Jared Hansen as our instructor. He's just amazing! We were getting married at Disneyland, and our first dance song is a Disney song. Jared was assigned to teach us because of his vast experiences with Disney. We took first dance classes somewhere else before, it didn't work out. With Jared's patience and thoughtfulness, he was able to turn us C3PO dance robots into Cinderella and Prince Charming! Their group classes are super helpful! Some of our first dance moves were covered in the group classes, so they helped us improve on our first dance a lot! The group dance parties were very fun too, sometimes with dress-ups! We also took LaBlast fitness class with Willem on Saturday mornings. It was a great work out! They are nice and friendly people! Willem is very funny, and Preston cracks us up!! It's really fun here. We are continuing taking classes here even after our wedding! read more

My girlfriend and I signed up for couples classes in preparation for having a social life again, post- Covid. Neither of us knew much about tango, waltz or ballroom dancing, so we were a bit apprehensive. However, within minutes, our instructor Kate was asking us questions about what we hoped to accomplish with our classes, and made us feel very comfortable about trying out these dances. Kate was extremely patient with us, and quickly spotted exactly what we needed to work on. We were pleasantly surprised by how easy she made it for us to get each dance move right. By the end of two classes, we both felt we could actually waltz and tango in public without embarrassing ourselves! We highly recommend classes with Kate or any of the other instructors there, now that we all need to get out on the dance floor again!! read more

The studio is under new ownership and has some new management as well. The staff are outstanding and the facility is being upgraded. I like the atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming. read more

We started dancing in January and have had such an amazing time, We are now doing the Saturday Lablast class which is a great workout and great for all levels and ages. Willam and his entire team of professionals are superb instructors and make dancing fun. Arthur Murray should be very proud of the BH Dance Studio and how positively they represent the Arthur Murray brand.#dance #arthurmurraybh read more

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Beverly Hills - Dance Schools Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Best dance studio in the Los Angeles county Lovely people ,good atmosphere Come and enjoy it Never forget the time when I was dancing there Love everybody in studio Valentina Voronova read more

Our experience was horrible. We took the new student deal $59 for introduction classes. The first class was 30 mins with 10 mins teaching and 20 mins selling classes. Disappointed because we were in a short time learning first dance for our wedding. That class was just a waste of time. After taking the first class we never went back, instead we learnt a dance from YouTube. read more

I've been taking classes here for about 5 months now, and the teachers are fantastic, understanding and extremely helpful! Every person at the studio goes out of their way to make sure that you're learning the most you can at the pace that is right for you. My instructor Tommy has made sure that I get the most out of each of my lessons, helping me be the best dancer I can be. True, ballroom dance is pricey, but you know that going into it if you've done any research regarding it. Plus, you do get a lot of value for the price of the lessons as long as you decide to put an effort in on your own part to learn. I'm actually kind of surprised to see negative reviews of this place; I've never seen anything less than professional behavior on behalf of any of the staff and I've never seen them turn anyone away. If you're interested in learning social dance in a fun and nurturing environment, this place has got you covered. read more

I just started coming here ever since Paul Killick became the new owner! Love going to the salsa group classes on thursday night! Highly recommend this studio! read more

I came here on a Groupon for two dance lessons. The "dance lesson" was a 30 minute sales pitch, followed by a 15 minute lesson, followed by a 15 minute sales pitch. Then I received mailers from them where they give the introductory lesson for free anyway. Groupon gave me my money back :-) read more

Went to the Arthur Marray Dance Studio in Beverly Hills with my wife-to-be, and also with my mom, in preparation of two different dances for my wedding. Fun experience and the whole staff was nice & friendly. Willem especially was a fantastic teacher, so enthusiastic and positive. "Five Stars." read more

I had a terrible experience at this studio. I took lessons there for almost a year (2010/11), thinking that I would actually learn how to dance. The owner (manager) told me I was improving, but little did I know, I was not learning proper technique at all. The deal-breaking moment came when they brought in an outside coach in 2011 (who was very expensive to work with but I thought worth it). And she told me my feet were terrible and NOT BUILT FOR DANCING. She basically said I should give it up altogether. Either I was improving (and the owner was right, making the expensive coach a rip off) or the coach was right (making the owner a liar and just after my money). Either way, I take at the Dance Doctor now in Santa Monica, and it is a blast. Feels like a real family, the prices are better, there is no hard selling, and best of all, I don't get insulted and lied to. They basically had me "unlearn" all the basics I learned at Arthur Murray Beverly Hills and started teaching me real technique. From coaches and teachers who are supportive. So the story has a happy ending. read more

I have been taking lessons from the Beverly Hills studio for over two years and it has been such a fantastic experience. My instructor Kent has done a miracle - he has taught me to dance. I have no experience dancing and now I can do most of the ballroom dances. It has totally surprised me. I was amazed that there were negative reviews. The entire staff is professional - gracious - fun - and the experience is focused on the student. I have a job where I take care of people all day and walking in the studio and being cared for and instructed with such a personal attitude feels as though I am on vacation. As far as the parking - it is so simple - there are two parking structures - both are one block away. The private lessons - dance classes and dance parties are pure joy. read more

We did a How About We dance lesson here and loved the instructor, the pace of the class, and the length (not too long that we got overwhelmed with various steps). Signed up for more lessons. read more

I did the photography for their Mistletoe Ball holiday party and really enjoyed myself. The staff is very welcoming, warm, and professional. Looking forward to signing up and learning from them in 2014! read more

My husband and I took lessons for one montn. they were very expensive . we got 4 private kessons and 4 group lessons cost $500 plus. the teaching is good , but the sales pitch to buy more lessons is very uncomfortable.. I had to be very assertive to limit the sales pitch. You get a 45 minute lesson, not a minute more. read more

Arthur Murray Dance Studio's had a great atmosphere all around! The instructors were incredible. They welcomed me into a warm, comfortable environment as soon as I walked in the door. I didn't feel nervous at one single moment after I met the instructors. Overall I had a great experience and definitely recommend it to people that have never learned to dance before. read more

I've been taking lessons at this studio for about a year now and I love it! My instructor, Preston, is the best! He takes the time to teach the correct tecnique for each dance. Everyone is so professional and friendly. Definitely worth it! read more

Best Dance studio on the Westside! Willem de Vries is the Director there and he along with his amazing team make the studio a warm and inviting place. It's always fun and their Friday night socials are a blast. I love their Saturday LaBlast Fitness class, too!! read more

The Arthur Murray Dance Studio instructors are phenomenal. The instructors are incredibly well-trained and well-rounded. Each instructor understands the psychology and physicality behind the dances, and is able to teach even the most beginning dancer (me!) how to move. I take both private lessons and group classes. The instructors are always willing and able to accommodate my schedule, and the group classes are never too crowded. Not to mention, the studio throws beautiful and fun weekly parties to celebrate and express our shared love of dance. I would highly recommend the studio to anyone looking to learn or improve his or her dancing skills, as well as to anyone who seeks a vibrant community of dance-lovers! Bonnie read more
