My wife and I decided to celebrate our 6 months of blissful marriage by doing a private dance class. Our instructor Aaron was amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Aaron has a great ability of making you feel comfortable by making great conversation and taking focus away from overthinking your dance steps. Can't wait to go back! read more

I love this place! I've been taking dance lessons here for almost 9 years and I've learned so much. Dancing has become my passion, my stress reliever at the end of a long day & my chance to hang out with friends while having fun. The staff is amazing! They take the time to actually get to know you and help you in any way they can. I love the personal attention that I get and I always feel welcome to come in to the studio to practice. The system they use to teach dance with group classes, private lessons & parties is perfect. I love taking group classes where I can learn new steps at my level or review steps and technique at previous levels, while getting to know new people and talk to friends. The private lessons are where I can learn new steps, work more on skills that I'm having difficulty with, work on improving my technique or work on a new routine for a show or competition. The parties are the fun social time where I can practice what I've learned with a variety of dancers of all levels. During the parties, when I'm not dancing, I like to watch the more advanced dancers and instructors dance. This gives me the opportunity to see what new things I can look forward to learning with the dances I currently working on or new dances that I might want to add to my program. If you are thinking about taking dance lessons, this is the place to come! Come in and try Arthur Murray Riverside out! I'm s read more

I cannot say enough good things about Jesse and CO. My fiance and I came into the studio wanting to have a first dance for our wedding. Jesse designed a dance and while working with each of the instructors we were able to improve it. We also learned how to dance normally! Thanks Jesse and Co! read more

I love going to Arthur Murray. I wish I could be here every day all day. I love music, I love dancing, and it is so much fun. Instructors are so awesome and so professional. read more

They have a program that will rip you off of $500 if you enroll then move you in to another program very frustrating dance program

My husband and I started dancing here a couple of months ago and we are having a lot of fun! Jessie and Christina are incredible and patient instructors and make every class exciting. We've learned a lot of steps in a short period of time and have already gained a lot of confidence. We also enjoy the group classes - wonderful group of dancers! read more

My dad absolutely enjoys his time here. He continues to mature as a dancer in a variety of dance choreography ranging from salsa to the hustle. The instructors' personalized approach allows for quick learning, too. read more

Arthur Murray Dance Studio - Dance Studios Near Me - Riverside, California

The instructors were amazing! Super friendly and lovely and fun to be around. My (ex) boyfriend and i decided to take some dance classes and came across this studio, we checked it out and absolutely loved it. They teach you step by step and work with your schedule. Although it is kind of pricey for the amount of time the lessons are given, it is something fun to do either alone or with your significant other. I definitely would have loved to keep taking lessons but maybe at a future time! read more

I might as well call this place my second home. I've been dancing here since August (7 months) and I feel like I've been a part of this group for years. The staff are very knowledgeable and know what and why they teach you the way they do. You have to learn the alphabet before you can start spelling right? I came here not knowing a thing about ballroom dancing. But because of the attention and detail they put into the private and group lessons, I am now enjoying competing in such dances. Even if I move to a different city, I'll continue to take my lessons here in riverside. This is the only dance family I want to be apart of. read more

My husband and I were taking dance classes for our wedding back in September and we had the group-on deal 2 lessons for $50 I believe. This place was awesome. Dancers always so friendly to see you and always patient with you. Our first dance was incredible and I'm so glad we picked this dance studio to go to!! read more

It would be nice if someone at this Arthur Murray dance studio could return even one call. My wife and I, as well as my daughter, have left numerous messages seeking lessons for my daughters upcoming wedding reception. Not one returned call - to any of the 3 of us, leaving 3 specific phone numbers over a period of 2 weeks. read more

RIP OFF!!! Go here only if you do not mind spending a ton of money to learn very little and very slowly. I came to this place because of convenience. Because it's close to home. I spend over $500 and didn't even dance one full song. The lesson did not fell like they where really for me since you share a lesson space with another lesson. It's very boring and all they want is your money. The packaged I got included 4 social dance parties "so they say" after I told them I wouldn't even go to that because I was not enjoying my lessons at all they didn't care or question me. Why? Because I payed already so they didn't care. Please don't make the same mistake I made. Do your research, there is so many awesome places in IE to learn and it's even free. I now go to Sevilla for my salsa and bachata lessons. And I also go to UCR for lessons. UCR has a swing dance club and they also teach salsa and bachata. Open to everyone for FREE!!!! Don't waste your hard earn money here. Yes you will learn but it will probably take hundreds if not thousands of dollars. read more

Awesome studio! My husband and I came here about a month ago to try an intro class and it was super fun! We will definitely be back to purchase some classes! Everyone in their staff is so kind and welcoming really makes you feel at home. read more

Been coming here since May and having a blast. Came in just wanting to do salsa but the programs they offer along with the different styles of dancing offered I couldn't resist doing more. The staff is friendly, you can tell they are hand picked by the managers and the other students are very friendly. If you want to learn to dance a variety of dances you best come here. read more

We loooovvvveee it here! Everyone who works here is pretty much like family already. Very professional, light hearted, accommodating, friendly, excellent customer service. What else is there to say?? read more

Awesome dance studio. Great teachers and a lot of fun! Adrianne has been an amazing teacher! My fiancée and I are learning a lot!

I haven't been to this studio/taken dance lessons in years - but thought about coming here to post a positive review when I was writing other reviews. When I first started taking dance lessons - this is the place I went to - excellent, pleasant and very professional teachers/instructors/staff. I stopped taking dance lessons as it was hard to make 7:30pm dance classes when I was on Movie shoots in the LA area - then later moved to the LA area. This is a great group here - highly recommend this Studio. read more

Our dance family is so special and unique. My husband & I have been in Riverside dance studio for 3 years now & we love it. We go almost every day & if you break down the cost of tuition for the group classes & private lessons it really is reasonable. Anything you do that is good has a price but you have to make the most of it. Practice, practice, practice! Our talented instructors have to make a living & be rewarded for their skills just like any career! We are retired & will continue to participate as long as we are able. The private lessons teach you so much about your frame (posture) & give you tips that some times are so easy you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. This is what you pay for to learn the secrets of connection, lead & follow & just to relax & have fun! Friday night parties are my favorite. Our folks are genuine, caring & fun! read more

Tonight was my first time coming to this dance studio(I've been to one other) and the experience was truly Remarkable. From the get go, everyone was extremely nice and approachable. I came in with the desire to learn salsa basics and left wanting to expand my dancing experience to competing(maybe in the future). The atmosphere was truly what captivated me to stay, you will feel right at home. Group class was awesome a lot in one session but they help was amazing, and it was great for meeting people.. Can't wait to continue my journey!! Thanks guys!!!! read more

I wish I could give this place more than five stars! I've been dancing here since the end of June and love it! I am learning to dance and becoming healthier! Coming to dance class is the best part of my day. I wish there was a way I could dance all day! The staff is amazingly supportive and want to help you succeed in all aspects of life. You can definitely feel the love when you walk into this studio! read more

I had been dancing for about a year at some Latin clubs doing their group lessons and I wanted a place that could give me the private lessons I needed to refine my technique, skill, and more knowledge of the dances I was interested in learning. My first impressions were great some of the friendliest people I've gotten the chance to meet work here they are great about helping you get the technique down and guiding you every step of the way incredible patience as well. What really impressed me was that they have lots of free group classes or "party" time and everyone there is helpful at showing you those dances as well such as foxtrot or the hustle! Just starting here but feels like it's going to be a great journey also they have couches it has an atmosphere of you just want a place to hangout you can read or chat and make new friends. 5 stars because positive atmosphere, knowledgeable instructors all certified and work with you to have a financial plan to continue your lessons. read more

Arthur Murray Dance Studio - Dance Studios Near Me - Riverside, California

While the people are nice {Owners} I would not recommend this school. See I had paid for 12 privet lessons so I could learn to dance. But instead of teaching me a whole dance, what they did was GIVE A SAMPLE (the very very basic) OF A FEW DIFFERENT DANCES , BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GO OUT DANCING. Then after 3 privet lessons and 1 intake lesion to see my skill level, they sat me down saying that I need to buy more lessons to be able to learn how to do a complete dance. They basically said after a year of lessons that I would be skilled at dancing. Then I find out that I had been scammed, that I did not pay for 12 lessons that the money I gave them was for 4 privet lessons and access to go to their parties or group classes. Which by the way I went to 1 of their parties only because they would not stop hounding me to go. I was VERY disappointed, it felt more like a very low budget elementary school dance with mostly girls. There were only two other guys at this so called party, and the instructor making three men in total. At this so called party I had to wait until the instructor asked me to dance to actually dance. I did not want to dance because I felt it was as I said a very low budget elementary school dance. However, to be polite I just said I was uncomfortable because I was not used to wearing dresses. Which by the way, most of the people were wearing street clothes that they looked like you would wear to go to the post office, not clothes you would wear to go to a dance. They did however, I think had cookies and water if you wanted a snack and something to drink because I saw someone eating a cookie. They had better food and drinks at my JR high school dance when I was in grade school. I also went to one of their group lessons only because again I was hounded to go to one. The only reason why I stayed for the group lesion was because I had just finished my privet lesion. But again I was very dissatisfied with the group lesion. Actually I learned more with the group instructor then I had in 2 previous privet lessons with the owner, but despite learning more with the group, it still was not enough to be able to go out dancing. However, it was only 2 other students and the group and the instructor who was really nice, but still it felt very overpriced. I had even called a few other schools and went in for other intakes with other schools, and they also agreed I over paid for what they were teaching at this school. I wish I had gone with a different dance school, and I would not recommend this school to anyone. I highly recommend you go with a different school altogether, unless you have thousands of dollars to actually learn a complete dance. I hate to have to write such a poor review of this school, because the people seemed so nice, but I guess scam artists have to be nice. Otherwise they would never fool anyone into giving them money in the first place. I was recently asked to dance, and when they started to change directions I started to step on their toes. They had asked me how come I was not taught the basics. I told this person that was what I learned the basics, but they told me if I had learned the basics I would not be stepping on their toes when they changed directions. So I paid a whole lot of money to dance in a box and nothing more. I am very unhappy. It was a waste of money and now I will have to pay another dance school money just to actually learn how to do even 1 full dance. read more

My wife has always liked to dance. Her dream was to learn more of it and move on the dance floor like a star. Me, on other hand... I was born with both left feet. One day I decided to surprise my lovely bride and found the studio on the web. I thought I would give it a shot, to have some quality time with my wife, to do something together, something fun. Of course, it was more fun for her, I was going there just because it was the right thing to do... Not for long, before I realized I love dancing as well! The studio is my extended family now, my brothers and sisters, with whom I love spending time. For all those men that don't believe they can dance, give it a shot, try the studio in Riverside and your life will never be the same, I promise! read more

Best dance studio!!! My fiancé and I got a groupon to this studio to practice dancing for our wedding. Although skeptical at first, the people there took great care of us and helped us with our two left feet! I would highly recommend going to this studio, either to learn a dance or for a fun date! :) read more

I have been wanting to dance for years.. my husband on the other hand had NO interest at all. He decided to surprise me with a couple of lessons. When our Foundation classes ended, he looked at me and said "What days are best for our private lessons?"! We are still at AM and have so much fun with the staff! There is no place more fun to hang out.. don't worry they teach you left from right and how to find your rhythm! read more
