I have taken dance lessons at several studios and keep coming back to Arthur Murray in Solana Beach because of my great experience there. I have danced with many of their instructors in group lessons and practice parties and they are all experienced and professional. I want to give a special shout out to my primary instructor for private lessons, Ash. read more

Instructors are great. Lessons are a bit costly but they really do their best to plug in to your weak spots and strong points. Be forewarned, it gets a bit crowded at time but the atmosphere is super lively and positive. read more

Simply Amazing!! This studio has great classes, and the private instructors are awesome. I was nervous about not knowing any dance steps, but my instructors make it easy to learn and fun. Matt, Damon, Rene and Peter, all gave me the skills and confidence I needed for an upcoming wedding. If you've ever thought about learning to dance, I would encourage you to check them out!! read more

Great experience! Took two lessons here to practice for our first dance at our wedding. Jude (studio manager) and Matt (instructor) were both so helpful and nice. Easy clear communication before the lesson to prepare us and great instruction during the lesson. Hope to go back to practice some more. read more

My wife and I recently took multiple lessons from Zach and Kristen, over several months in preparation for the Avalon Ball on Catalina Island. Both as a couple and individually, Zach and Kristen are absolutely outstanding teachers. They listen to your needs and goals, and then they set up an individualized plan to help you accomplish your specific dancing goals. We will most likely use them again in the future, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone... If you're a beginner or even an advanced person... They ARE the team read more

I had my first lesson with Jill. I wouldn't say I have two left feet but I always danced like my feet were on fire. I didn't really have any rhythm.. going outside my comfort zone and taking a dance lesson was difficult for me, but Jill made it super easy , she was very patient very informative, and when I left my first lesson, I felt more confident and comfortable with the basic steps I was introduced to.. I would recommend for anybody who wants to learn dance, or activate the right side of their brain and overall better your health I"ll be back for sure. read more

Wow what an incredible studio! My fiance and I went to Arthur Murray so that we could take dance lessons and have a choreographed first dance for our wedding. The instructors have been so welcoming and helpful and all of the students are incredibly supportive. We've enjoyed learning how to partner dance and trying out different styles of dance that we can use for our first dance or for other dance songs. I would definitely encourage engaged couples to begin classes at least a few months before their wedding and to attend the group classes and dance parties for practice. We love coming here and have found a new hobby to enjoy together. Highly recommend! read more

Sliver Rumba class with Astrid. We learned syncopated rocks and swivels. Very fun! I always enjoy the classes and quality instruction at this studio read more

We loved our dance lessons with Jill! She was really knowledgeable and fun to work with-- we learned a ton in four lessons + got to join the group classes / parties as a bonus! Thanks Jill read more

We took several dance classes here to prepare us for our daughters up coming wedding and it was an awesome experience! Damian and Ash are great teachers and so much fun to work with. We laughed a lot and had a wonderful learning experience and they were patient with me and my inability to sit still. I highly recommend this studio. read more

A wonderful place to enjoy dancing! The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The dance student spotlights each month are a lot of fun! read more

Arthur Murray Dance Studio - Let's Dance - Dance Studios Near Me - Solana Beach, California

I love Arthur Murray's Dance Studio in Solana Beach, California! Their staff makes every lesson comfortable, friendly and fun! Jude and Ash are superb teachers and coaches with their amazing dance skills. They teach all the great dance steps and share their love for dancing that helps everyone focus better, relax, enjoy and learn a variety of new dances. Everybody that signs up for a month or more will learn how to unlock their untapped joy of dance. Their lessons are similar to a cookbook that shows you that you already have the ingredients & their new recipes (dance lessons) give us the nourishment they our bodies, minds and spirits need & want.

My 92 year old mother still loves to swing dance. So on a recent visit to see my brother in Solana Beach, we took her over to the local Arthur Murray Dance studio for an opportunity to "cut a rug" with favorite instructor, Damian. Once again, he was absolutely fabulous!!! Besides being a talented and beautiful dancer, he's an amazing partner and "personal trainer" tailoring the dance perfectly to my mother's capabilities. His exuberant and joyful approach is infectious, and once again, my mom left "floating on air" with an ear to ear grin. We hope to hire Damian on an ongoing basis once my mother settles in the area. read more

I want to highly recommend the Arthur Murray dance studio in Solana Beach for their enthusiastic and talented instructors. Their staff is highly professional and supportive in their instruction. My 92-year-old mother went in recently to dance with Damion and he was fantastic in providing a wonderful dance experience. We have been to the studio previously for her 90th birthday, and she lit up the room with her smile after taking a few swing dance steps. We hope she will become a regular dance partner when she moves down to San Diego. I think the dancing is adding years to her life! read more

Signed up for a groupon for dance lessons and was really surprised at how pleasant the whole experience was. My boyfriend and I are complete goofballs and pretty inept at dance/rhythm/etc. Jill was patient, funny, and a great instructor. I would definitely recommend her for first-timers. read more

Arthur Murray Dance Studio - Present a la Jill, knowing we are complete nerds! How sweet is that?! - Dance Studios Near Me - Solana Beach, California

I appreciate the one on one instructions from Jude. Use of videos seeing her and the proper steps was a good suggestion. Signing up for more lessons! read more

This place is amazing!!! All the instructors are super talented, professional and personable. I just tried out the lessons over zoom and to my surprise, I actually learned a lot better. I don't know how it is even possible. Definitely was very skeptical about learning how to dance on zoom. Thanks to the whole team for making it so much fun to dance. read more

My fiancé and I took dance lessons here with the hope of feeling confident for our first dance at our upcoming wedding. Our expectations were far exceeded!! Not only did we learn to dance, we had so much fun, felt so comfortable and welcomed, and experienced incredible care from our instructor named Ash. I honestly can't say enough good things. Ash made us feel comfortable, made us laugh, was encouraging and professional, and is a seriously great dance teacher. We also got to work with Jesse who was equally professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Lastly, Jude was the initial person I spoke with when I originally called regarding dance classes. She too was kind, fun, extremely knowledgeable and asked questions regarding what exactly my expectations were. Whether you want to learn dance with your significant other, or you are single and want to take up dance lessons - you will not be disappointed at this locations. I highly recommend Arthur Murray Dance in Solana Beach!! Ask for Ash or Jesse - you will have a great time learning how to dance!! read more

We had a similar story to many looking for dance lessons, our daughter getting married. My husband had never danced before but I thought we would give Arthur Murray in Solana Beach a try even though he was extremely reluctant. What we didn't expect was the amazing attention, lessons and commitment to help us by Ash, Jude and the entire team to help and more importantly give my husband much needed confidence. My daughters father daughter dance turned out great, he received many compliments and even said after he was glad he did it. Who would have guessed? Ash, you truly worked miracles! Thank you to the whole team for your encouragement, support and more importantly your extreme knowledge of dancing and a truly welcoming and fun environment. Kim, San Diego read more

Excellent instructors who are so fun to work with, great group classes along with the individual classes. The Solana Beach location has such a fun diverse group of students and instructors that make learning dances even more special. Each instructor (Ash, Jude, Damien, Peter, Urs) has brought something unique and fun to the table during the learning process and I love the spotlight series where we can watch other students too (and be inspired by them!). Dancing has been so therapeutic during COVID times. Excited to continue my dancing journey with AM Solana Beach! read more

So excited to be taking lessons here! My boyfriend and I decided to try the Groupon offered and eagerly scheduled an apt right away. We weren't sure what to expect but figured that they might try to pressure us into buying more lessons than we originally signed up for. We found ourselves to be pleasantly surprised. We cannot say enough good things about our lesson with Robert. He was full of great humor and kept us laughing while still keeping us on track with our lesson. This was especially helpful because neither of us had much experience with dance. The best part is, they did not at all try to sell us more lessons. We are very much looking forward to next time. read more

My boyfriend and I have been dancing at Arthur Murray in Solana Beach for the past few months and have been impressed with every aspect of our experience thus far! Everyone that works there is friendly, fun, and encouraging. We've taken private and group classes taught by Jude, Jill, and Anthony...all of whom are superstars on the dance floor (and off)! I've had some dance experience, but my boyfriend has not, so they've helped us get to a point where we can dance together...from the foxtrot and swing to more rhythmic dances like cha-cha and rhumba. The studio is conveniently located near the I-5 off Lomas Santa Fe in the Vons shopping center. It's not cheap, but we've budgeted for it since we love to dance and we use the time together as a date night. Also, they do offer a discount off your first 2 lessons and are periodically on Groupon. I would highly recommend Arthur Murray Solana Beach to anyone...it's fun, can be a light workout at times, a chance to spend quality time with your significant other, and learn a lifelong skill! Dance on :) +1 Fun, friendly, talented instructors +1 Variety of dances taught at all different skill levels +1 Private lessons are specifically tailored to you, the way you learn, and your goals +1 Can participate in weekly dance parties at studio or dance events in community +1 Conveniently located, large, clean studio read more

Started here because of a groupon and have ended up thinking we will c9ntinue to come back as it is a fun thing to do together. Plus we do see improvement! We have been working with Zach who really knows what he is doing and is great! Then we have worked with McKayla and Jude as well who have been great too! Can't complain. The investment is pricey but you get to go to group dances included if you have the bronze level membership. They also allow you to determine how many private lessons a month to help with budget. Again it is pricey even for two lessons a month plus group dances and parties (~$335) but depends how much you put into it and have to remember it's a life craft to use. But wonderful teachers! read more

We absolutely loved our instructor, Jill! She took me and my boyfriend "out" on the best movie and popcorn date ever. We learned so much from her. We couldn't find it in our budget to stick to the program, but we would if we could. Even after we told her we couldn't sign up, she mailed us a hand-written thank you card. We wanted to sign up even more after receiving that! We practice our routines in my living room some days. She gave great feedback, and was funny, attentive and nice! I am proud to endorse her! read more

Wow! The Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Solana Beach completely exceeded my expectations! I love to dance...however, didn't know how to dance! I was so nervous to sign up for lessons(as I am 47 and figured it would be so tough to learn at this age). I was proven wrong immediately...Damion had me dancing in the first lesson..he along with all the instructors are so amazing, encouraging, helpful and truly ensure that you are learning and most importantly, having fun! In just a few days, they gave me the confidence to dance in social settings and I'm now addicted! They have classes every night along with numerous dancing parties each month to practice and show off your new skills in a positive, fun and community environment. Don't worry if you don't have a partner as there are several instructors and members to pair up with - you'll never be sitting on the sideline - you'll constantly be dancing! Just click the button and sign up....it will definitely have a positive impact on your life immediately. Melissa read more

My daughter attends to the Carmel Valley location and we have had a wonderful experience. She lovers her teachers and its a nice environment. She has made great progress and loves her studio. read more

We have been taking dance lessons here for about 2 months. We started out with Jill as our instructor and loved her! We came in wanting to learn swing and are now taking 6 different styles of dancing and have fallen in love with all of them, while falling more in love with each other. They even put on a performance for us to see which dance styles we were interested in. We currently have our own binder to track our progress. We are beginning to have lessons with other instructors, and the whole staff is amazing. read more

Jill and Jude, you ladies are so fabulous! I can't wait to so time dance lessons with you and start getting some rhythm in my hips so I can start impressing my man!! I recommend this place to anyone! read more

Incredibly welcoming, fun, professional, knowledgable, patient... way beyond our expectations! Excellent experience!

We bought a Groupon and while on vacation had two lessons each with my mom & sister. So much fun! Ben, Jessie and Kim showed us some basic moves. We were also invited to their Dance Party, but we had other plans. Highly recommend!!! read more

Kudos to a lovely group of warm hearted people, with an extra high five and thank you to my teacher, Anthony. Arthur Murray in Solana Beach has a talented and gifted group of instructors who tirelessly work with the ungifted, me, (and possibly others) to find rhythm, build confidence, and create a fledgling dancer. I am planning to continue taking lessons even if it means raiding my piggy bank. I will no longer be able to say, "I can't dance." read more

Wonderful instructors; I found them to strike the perfect balance between offering kind encouragement and challenging me as a novice dancer.

Found this place through Groupon and did some lessons with Aster (Ash) who was super sweet and a great teacher (she deserves 5 stars). We would have loved to continue with her as our teacher but because of the price and the pressure we felt by the other sales person, we decided to check out other spots. This is also the reason we only gave it 4 stars. read more

My daughter has been taking dance lessons here with her boyfriend for the past 3 months now and they are loving it. Shout out to John for taking the beginners to the next level. ;) read more

We had a great time learning dance here. I bought a yelp deal while on vacation and we were given top notch instruction. All of their staff is really friendly. A special shout out to Emillio! read more

We were introduced to Arthur Murray through a Groupon offer. We highly recommend the studio! Jude, the manager, and all the instructors are very welcoming & encouraging. As seniors & not very skilled on the dance floor, we were greatly helped by private lessons. Everyone is very sensitive to our abilities & works with us in setting personal goals. The group parties were not only fun, but offered continued instruction by a high ratio of instructors to participants. read more

We were getting married in a week and decided at the last minute we should really take some dance lessons (the past couple months have been super busy which made us put off prioritizing learning to dance). Jude was super nice on the phone, even reminding us to get the Groupon before it expired the next day (and if we didn't do that, she would've honored the same priced deal anyway). She squeezed two private lessons for us the very next day and the day after the next. We were super grateful! Everyone was nice and a lot of the instructors introduced themselves to us regardless of the fact that they weren't teaching us. The dance floor was big enough that they cleared a space for us while another group class was taking place. They also even played our first dance song a few times, too! They all were very welcoming and encouraging, considering how nervous we were. Our main instructor would pull in other staff at times to show us moves, ask us if we liked how it looked, and tailored tips and feedback to the fact that it was for our wedding. If my now husband wasn't so busy commuting to Irvine for work, I would love to come back and take more lessons! But for now, I highly recommend them!!!!! read more
