We took lessons from Davon to learn dance and choreography for our wedding. He was so great to work with and helped us make the most memorable part of our reception come to life! Everyone at the studio was so welcoming and we highly recommend taking lessons here!
Leah Moore
I absolutely love taking dance lessons here! My partner and I have been taking lessons for about 8 months just for fun and have learned so much. Our primary instructor is Leah, who is fantastic at guiding us through the steps of whatever dances we want to learn. The other instructors are also amazing and so fun to work with. There are free group classes and dance parties every week, so you can really get your money's worth if you're taking lessons. They're bringing in guest instructors too every six weeks or so, and those have been awesome experiences. Five stars all around!

We attended lessons at Arthur Murray in preparation for our wedding. We had the pleasure of working with Christian, who prepared a full routine for our first dance. We came in as complete beginners and learned so much through his guidance. Not only were the lessons efficient in getting us familiar with the basics we needed first, but the pace at which they added in more complexity was very comfortable. Christian was also incredibly fun to work with, carrying an infectious enthusiasm that made us excited to learn. He was also an excellent teacher and worked through our struggles and concerns with ease and professionalism. I was so impressed with our overall experience and would recommend this studio in a heartbeat.

Our dance lessons with Kadir were by far the most enjoyable part of wedding preparations. We were total novices but he had us in such good shape within only five lessons. He was genuinely such a good teacher and knows a lot not only about dance but also about how people learn and how much information to give at a time. In addition to the private lessons, we took advantage of the group classes, which were great as well. I would recommend lessons at Arthur Murray to anyone planning a first dance.

My husband and I came to Arthur Murray in Pittsburgh to learn a choreographed dance for our August 2021 wedding. We wanted a routine that was fun, showy, and more complicated than traditional first dances - but still performable in a giant wedding gown! Anne was our private dance instructor, and we couldn’t have asked for a better mentor. She designed and personalized our special dance to L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole that made us smile every time we practiced, and also blew our friends and family away at the reception. We also attended multiple group lessons to learn the basics of various styles of dancing (East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Salsa, etc), which has given us more confidence on the dance floor at our other friends weddings. All of the instructors are great here. Learning to dance with my husband was honestly my most favorite part of the entire wedding planning process, and we have Arthur Murray to thank!
