"I’ve been dancing for almost 2 years and I’m in the studio 2-3 days per week. Dancing has many intangible benefits giving me the confidence to approach and communicate with women outside of the studio. Who knew guys, knowing how to dance is real icebreaker! I love all of the dance styles, but I tend to lean more towards the Latin styles of Tango, Swing and Cha Cha as I enjoy the pace of them. My two instructors, Arden and Dani are amazing with very different styles, but that pushes me to be comfortable with different partners and they each get the best out of me on the dance floor. Dancing pushed me out of my comfort zone and this month I will participate in my first showcase at the studio."

"I started dancing a little over a year ago because my daughter was getting married and I was dancing the first dance with her. It was a great success. I remember one of my instructors said, “don’t stop, keep moving” and I’ll never forget that. What a stress reliever dance has been for me. I get on the floor and everything just melts away. It’s a place for me to go aside from the day-to-day monotony and it’s something just for me. I dance with two different instructors twice weekly because it gives me a variety in dance styles and I grow more as a dancer."

"Royal Oak I’ve been dancing for over a year and love to be in the studio 3-4 times a week. It’s easy to drop in and take Swing group class, my favorite dance or even a weekly practice party to strength what I learned that week in my private lesson. I have gained confidence, new friends and a place to have fun and be social. My outlook on life is different and my body thanks me for it. I’ve lost weight and I’m eating and sleeping better."

"We love the hustle because the moves are so versatile. We dance once a week as our date night and we love it. It has connected us and given us more confidence in so many facets of our lives. The Arthur Murray Royal Oak instructors are so talented, after the first lesson we had so much fun that we signed up for our introductory package right away because we just wanted to learn more."

"Arthur Murray Royal Oak gave me confidence on the dance floor that I am taking to my wedding day. The instructors are very good at what they do and they make you feel very comfortable! Everyone is so much fun to work with, it makes it easy and I look forward to all my dance lessons! Also, I have been picking up dance moves way faster than I thought I would – we are definitely going to continue dancing even after our wedding!"

"I always looked at ballroom dancers and thought I could never be one of them – I could never dance like that! I was so wrong – everyone can dance with the right guidance. I started dancing at Arthur Murray Royal Oak, and finally got to dance with amazing instructors and my partner. We have found a lifelong passion and hobby! Thank you for making this dream a reality!"

"Arthur Murray is my Retirement Go To: it is fun yet challenging for body and mind, works my memory and helps me set goals. I love the studio!"

"Dance is music made visible! It keeps you young, energetic, in both mind and body! It allows you to express yourself when words are lacking! We feel a sense of freedom when we move our bodies, hands and feet! I have been dancing for twenty-two years and have yet to tire from it!"
