If you're getting married -- or just trying not to murder your partner in the kitchen while arguing…read moreover who left the cabinet open -- go see Heidi I came in wanting to learn a simple wedding dance. What I got was choreography, therapy, and a much-needed reminder that my partner and I actually like each other. From the moment we stepped into the studio, she made us feel like Fred and Ginger -- minus the pressure, plus a lot of laughter. They have this rare magic: patient enough to teach two left feet, sharp enough to know when to push, and funny enough to make even a stiff rehearsal feel like a date night. We walked out not just with a first dance we're proud of -- but with a little more rhythm between us too. Honestly, if you're looking for a wedding dance teacher, you just found the best. And if you're looking for a relationship tune-up disguised as a waltz? Even better. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone in love, on the rocks, or just trying to find their beat again.

Everyone is very nice and cares very deeply about dance as an art form and passion.

Dance is a great way to express yourself and to learn valuable life lessons, such as time management, discipline, and team work. Merced Academy of Dance is the best!

My daughter has autism and doesn't really understand a lot of what the teachers are saying but she still did well. The teachers for the young kids are like 14, they are good at what they do tho. After the nutcracker ( which I was told was mandatory) I was broke it was so expensive the costumes were $65 and that's only for your child to wear it in the show and that it, you don't keep it. Plus the $65 a month and we were put to work trying to raise even more money for them. They say they needed it for the professional dancers she was hiring. Plus I had to pay for our tickets. They also told me that because my daughter has autism it's not fair to leave her to someone else backstage, that I had to be there, which means missing the show.( confused, I wanna watch my daughter, not a professional) After I realized I couldn't afford it i was trying to talk to owner (Jane) about how I'm having a difficult time with the payment if I could take a month off ( which is only 4) classes and she said that I couldn't do that I'm in or out. She wasn't even sympathetic she didn't care in the least. She would get upset if she had to repeat something, which she did often because nobody understands the whole show process. This place doesn't make you feel included as a parent, u sit there all alone. Nobody even greets u when you walk in. U just sit alone in silence. I decided to just drop it since I couldn't afford it it's been 6 months and they continue to send me a bill as if she is still in classes. Btw this place smells like a fat mans armpit sweat mixed with melted crayons.

It's been a year since I started dancing at Arthur Murray, and I wanted to share an update. What…read morebegan as something fun and new has grown into a really rewarding hobby that I look forward to every week. Over the past year, I've expanded into new dance styles and started focusing on the finer details--like arm styling and hip movement, not just footwork. I've joined the dance team, performed in group showcases, and taken part in coaching lessons with incredible visiting instructors who've given me professional feedback to grow from. When my first instructor, Valerie, moved and transferred to another Arthur Murray studio, I wasn't sure what to expect--but I was left in great hands. Angela, my new main instructor, has been amazing at challenging me and helping me push my limits. I've also taken lessons with Alexia and Nathan, and all three have supported my growth with their unique styles and encouragement. One big milestone this year has been dancing in front of others through demos. It's helped me shake off nerves, have fun with mistakes, and just keep dancing. My confidence has grown immensely--I now step onto the dance floor excited, not anxious. I've even started receiving compliments on my leading and technique, which feels incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking about trying dance, I can't recommend Arthur Murray enough. But here's the key: don't just take a lesson or two--immerse yourself in the full experience. Take lessons weekly, go to group classes, attend the parties. You'll get so much more out of it if you fully embrace the experience.
