Arthur Murray studio was an amazing studio to learn dances for our wedding. In just one lesson each, the teachers choreographed simple but elegant dances to the song of our choice for each of our parent dances. The dances were so beautiful and our parents felt so confident and comfortable after just one lesson each with your team. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed and welcoming studio in the CT area. read more

Arthur Murray in Hamden is an Amazing Dance Studio. My Wife and I took advantage of a Groupon Offer for 2 Private and 2 group classes. I was thinking we'll use the Groupon and then never come back. Imagine How surprised I was when I found the classes to be amazingly fun! David, our Instructor, is Hilarious and a great teacher. We have signed up for the follow on curriculum and I'm happy to say that I think I can now consider myself an intermediate dancer. The other regular instructors, Sandy and Kevin, are likewise amazing and very knowledgeable. They, along with David, Have formed a close knit group of people into a very tight community that make coming to dance class fun! An example of how great this is is group class. Now many people, and i was among them, think group classes are awkward and weird: You go to dance with your partner, not with other people! but with this group it's not weird at all and very helpful! I would suggest Arthur Murray Hamden to anyone who thinks they might want to dance. My wife and I will most likely continue to attend Arthur Murray Hamden even if we move out of the area. You will be surprised with how fun classes are and how quickly you will change from a non-dancer to someone who can glide around the floor with ease. read more

One of our friends recommended we sign up for dance lessons before our wedding, so we bought the intro package at Arthur Murray. My husband was not super into the concept of dance lessons but agreed. We are quite clueless when it comes to dancing so we were a little nervous going in. Our instructor, Chris, was amazing and so much fun. He and all the staff at Arthur Murray made us feel completely comfortable. We ended up having so much fun dancing (even my husband! Who would have guessed?) and bought more lessons. This experience made our dance on the wedding day special, fun, and completely stress-free because we had practiced it so many times with Chris. read more

My husband and I had a great time taking classes with Dave at Arthur Murray. I thought we would only do the trial classes, but we ended up signing up for more classes because we were having a lot of fun and saw quick progress in those two short sessions. Dave was fun and challenged us just enough to keep the learning curve fun and attainable. We looked forward to classes because they gave us a time to really connect in the craze of planning a wedding. It's such a blast! I'd recommend you just check it out at least once! You will love it! read more

Whether you're new to dance or have been dancing all your life, I highly recommend Arthur Murray in Hamden. The methodology is foolproof and helps you quickly build skills that can be layered and used for multiple types of dances. The instruction is easy to understand and delivered with good humor. I always leave with a smile on my face - whether I've taken a group or private dance lesson. The staff: Dave, Kevin, Chris, and Shaina are warm and welcoming and create a lighthearted environment that's friendly and fun for all. read more

What a wonderful experience from start to finish. I was so nervous at the beginning but David made the whole experience fun and relaxing and most importantly successful. We had so much fun doing our first dance thanks to the Arthur Murray team. Highly recommend them! We'll be going back there for sure. Oh and David was so patient with me the whole way :) read more

Where to begin? If even the smallest part of you is considering signing up for dance lessons, do it! You won't regret it, and Arthur Murray Hamden is the best place to learn. I was immediately comfortable at the studio, not only because I'm a lifelong dancer, but also because of how wonderful the staff is at making everyone feel welcome. Whether you've danced for years or never been brave enough to try, you will feel welcome and comfortable. The great news for someone like me who has been dancing for a long time is the depth of knowledge the staff possesses. The instructors know how to challenge me, make sure that I am continuously learning, and really care about my progress. The staff also knows how to adapt their teaching style to each individual student and their specific needs. You are treated as an individual and there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach. An unexpected, but very welcome bonus, is the great sense of community offered at Arthur Murray Hamden. A shared love of dance provides an instant connection, but real friendships are quickly forged. This isn't just a place where people practice a hobby, it's also a place where you will meet wonderful, caring people. Personally, I can't imagine the past year and a half of my life without this studio, the people I've met, the fun I've had, and of course all the dancing! read more

Christopher and David are incredible teachers who "break it all down" to understandable steps and they guide my husband and I in "building it all up" until suddenly we are really dancing! We have not had this much fun in ages. We are working up to our son's wedding in August, when we have selected a modern waltz for the :"parents of the groom" dance. Couldn't do it without Arthur Murray in Hamden. Kevin even helped me find the right dancing shoes. I can't compliment these guys enough on their personal attention to each of their clients, and on how they make dancing so enjoyable, even for beginners. Super cardio exercise to boot! read more
