Sterling Irby has been my wife's and my instructor for nearly a year now, and I'm truly grateful not just for his ability and expertise, but his injection of un into the process. My wife and I remain works in progress, but we enjoy every moment that we spend at Arthur Murray.
Arthur Murray Ashburn is an awesome dance studio! The atmosphere promotes a love of dancing along with a great social environment for getting to know new people in the community. Fellow students are encouraging and helpful, and all members of the staff are equally fun and professional. I enjoy that I am constantly challenged to grow as a dancer and a person at this studio. From someone discovering dance for the first time to seasoned dancers who want to develop their technique, I highly recommend Arthur Murray Ashburn for anyone who wants to dance.
I have been taking private instruction and going to group classes since August 2015. I am not graceful and have no natural ability to move my hips.which is very frustrating.but I keep working on it and have seen definite improvement over these months.
I am very happy with the Ashburn studio. The instructors are wonderful and very talented. The management and staff are great and I always feel welcome. There are plenty of group classes offered for beginnersyou could attend at least one class five or six days a week.
What an amazing place to learn to dance!
I have been coming to this studio for just under a year. Starting as a total beginner and now in Bronze 2, I cannot believe how much more confident I feel on the dance floor. To be fair, I don't have anything to compare to, as this is the only dance school I have tried, but I have no desire to branch out. The studio is always clean and bright, the staff and the instructors are professional, welcoming, knowledgeable and simply amazing! The classes are plenty, with the variety of levels, from the novice to the very advanced. The program is structured so that you are always taking classes at your level, so that you are challenged but not overwhelmed. The dance parties are great for working on your technique, getting used to switching between styles and partners (which is not always easy, especially at the beginning), and socializing.
Last but not least, Arthur Murray has regular competitions (with several studios participating, local and not) where you could dance with your partner or your instructor and be judged and scored if that is your thing.. I was told it is good for you as it makes you work on the details but I never tried so can't add anything personal.
All and all, if ( for whatever reason, be it your wedding dance or upcoming cruise or just because) you are looking for a dance lessons, definitely stop by. You won't regret it.
I have been taking dance lessons for 3.5 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. The studio is clean and inviting. The instructors are very knowledgeable, and will help you achieve your dancing goals be it your first dance at your wedding, to be a stronger social dancer, or to compete against other Arthur Murray students at a local, national, or world level. I have made a lot of friends along the way as well. Definitely a positive experience all around.
I've been taking lessons for the past six months and it's been an amazing experience. I started out not knowing anything about dancing and now I'm a more confident dancer. My early jitters and nervousness are gone and I look forward to the next class or lesson.
The classes are also fun and help with progressing more in dancing. The schedule of what's being taught each night rotate so it's never the same thing fromm week to week. Private lessons with your instructors are scheduled based on my availability and make for a more comfortable environment to ask questions and refine what you're working on.
Now I'm rambling. Go for it. Dancing is fun.
