The studio is decorated beautifully with plenty of room for tons of student and a window for the mothers and fathers to watch :) parking is not a problem as there is a parking lot right across the street from the studio. Located on Main Street in Andover, it's a very easy and convenient drive. If you want an enjoyable experience for both you and your dancer, then this is the place to go. Highly highly recommended.

I lead a Latinx Group within an organization and many of our members asked to learn Salsa. I looked at many places for a group lesson and Arthur Murray Studio was by far the best option! Great customer service from the get-go, absolutely fair one-hour fee, flexible and super professional. Andrew and his team went above and beyond; they are not only amazing dancers and instructors but they also came prepare with their own sound system, greeted each person in the room and made sure everyone was involved. At the end of the lesson, we felt so reenergized. On top of his great service, he sent us an email the next day thanking us and offering discounts for future lessons. What an amazing company!

My husband and I took dance lessons at this studio in preparation for the first dance at our…read morewedding. We had Eva as our instructor and she was the best. Incredibly kind and friendly, and did a wonderful job teaching us the rumba and foxtrot. She also showed us moves that fit well with our song and was very encouraging throughout our lessons. Our lessons also included group classes, where we worked with Nick and Andrew. They were wonderful as well and taught us more advanced moves. Nick also went out of his way to check in with us when we were in the studio by ourselves practicing our dance and showed us a few tips for how to make everything look more natural and flow better. If you're looking for lessons for a first dance or beyond, I would highly recommend this studio! It's really great for beginners especially, as everyone was so welcoming and patient.

Between my me and my husband we have 4 left feet... The thought of the first dance made me queasy…read moreof awkwardly tripping all over each other or swaying lifelessly on the dance floor for a painful ~4 minutes as our friends and family watched on. While browsing Groupon I noticed a deal for dance lessons at db studios, which was very conveniently located for us. Of course I browsed reviews ahead of time to make sure we weren't walking into a trap, and noticed that they had several glowing reviews on here. Congratulations to db studios too for celebrating their 1 year anniversary! The owner and instructor, Kendall responded immediately to our initial e-mail inquiry and we set up a FREE consultation dance lesson with her. I may have inadvertently made her update the website since it now says the Groupon/Yelp deals can't be combined. Oops! Kendall welcomed us to db studios, which is located within the Newton Congregational Church. The private lessons are rehearsed on the upper stage, which mimics the size of most venue dance floors. For the consultation she listened to our song to determine what type of ballroom dance style would fit best and we decided on the fox trot. We had the option of another style, but it did not allow for us to move around the stage as much. During the first lesson we learned the basic step as well as the box step. (I know, we are starting from the ground up here.) She worked with each of us individually by having us follow her side by side along with dancing with us directly. For each class she took notes to give us specific points of improvement to work on outside of class. We highly appreciated Kendall's flexible hours as I often work quite late. So we've had lessons starting at 8 PM. It's great that for Monday - Wednesday she is available until 10 PM! In addition, Kendall worked with our limited budget and we accomplished all that we hoped within the 3 official dance lessons. If the Groupon or Yelp offer is still available, I would definitely recommend taking advantage of the limited time offer. Regular priced private lessons are $85 for 45 minutes. I imagine that since this is a relatively new business she is just building up positive buzz and clientele base. Otherwise there are other comparable dance studios you can contact (most of them don't post the rates) to find out if their dance studios packages are more suitable. For more details about the actual lessons, what song we chose, photos from the wedding, and interactions with the owner check out my blog. https://ratedbyhanna.com/dance-lessons-db-studios/

They have moved to 16 Pine St in Waltham (the old theater). Space is coming along beautifully…read moreinside. School is relatively well run. There are two tracks here: the competition track (levels 1-10) and the Xcel track which is more casual. Both will help your child build self confidence (one of their goals for the kids as they get exposed to performing and competing). Xcel is more relaxed, uses some teen graduate coaches more and is better suited if your child is very shy and not yet ready to compete. Usually these programs are 2xs per week for ~2hrs. Some of our daughters classes have moved along a bit slowly depending on the teacher and some are more formal. Competition levels are 3xs a week and very serious and get high level coaching. As an example if I could do the level 5 warm up routine I'd have the body of Adonis. These kids are fit. This program is more expensive and the kids compete often and may travel to compete. Level 10 is national level fyi. Overall they run a good show though we have experienced some of the issues in the 1 star reviews. It is safer than regular gymnastics and incorporates more ballet type dance with a gymnastics floor routine.
