Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Toronto - Etobicoke

I joined Arthur Murray Etobicoke 5 years ago.The most difficult step is walking through that door. After that, it is a piece of cake. Do not worry about a partner, they have lots. Everybody is friendly.Prior to Arthur Murray, I took lessons at the local community centre. I did not learn much.At Arthur Murray, you will learn to dance & you will have alot of fun doing it!

Everyone here is wonderful! We worked with Courtney to put together our wedding first dance and she did an incredible job. We couldn't be more satisfied. Highly recommend for a couples' date night or wedding prep.

If you want to learn how to dance in a fun, warm, supportive environment, then this is the place for you! A dedicated team of professional teachers who provide world class instruction and care about each of their students. Even with the challenges brought on by Covid Arthur Murray Toronto adapted quickly to bring the same quality instruction and fun through virtual classes and lessons. I can’t wait until we are all back in the studio dancing together! #teamtoronto.

This review is not regarding the actual dance lessons themselves. It is a WARNING to anyone who is or is thinking about taking classes here, you are at risk of being robbed!My boyfriend and I recently signed up for classes at the Etobicoke studio location. Last Friday, we were there for our second lesson, and we were robbed! When our lesson finished, my boyfriend and I went to go put on our coats and leave, when we realized that my wallet, iphone, and $240 of my boyfriends cash were missing from our jacket pockets!!! I don't know how this managed to happen, considering the coat closet is two feet away from the receptionist. I don't know how someone had the time to search through multiple coat pockets and have no one see them! This is not a large studio, it's actually quite small. When we notified the studio, they didn't seem overly concerned that this had happened. They just kept repeating that in all the years they've been there, this has never happened! Well, it did!! I do know that we no longer feel safe taking lessons there and we will be asking for our money back!!

Since joining Arthur Murray Etobicoke eight years ago with my wife, we have finally found something that we both truly enjoy to do together, made many new friends with similar interests and participated in many, many great social events involving dancing. I also get great satisfaction on how we can now WOW" our other non-dancing friends when we go to an event that allows us to show off our dancing skills."

From salsa, bachata, swing, tango, waltz and more.. this studio has it all! The staff are always fun and friendly and my fellow students are a blast. I came in a little nervous because I was on my own, but it allowed me to dance directly with my teacher and I was able to learn twice as fast! The groups and parties are amazing as well. I have tried many other studios, and honestly you get what you pay for. Arthur Murray is the Creme de le Creme of dance lessons!

I have been coming to Arthur Murray Etobicoke on and off for years. I’ve tried a few other studios and I’ve stuck with this one because of the people in it. They are certainly worth coming in for. You are there with a purpose but it helps to have good company as you do it. People are sociable and it’s a fun learning environment.The only con I can think of is that these are private lessons so those will never be cheap no matter where you go. Having shopped around, the price is comparable with other studios but you’re looking at a significant investment if you’re going to do this over the long term.However, this is balanced out in a few ways. The cost is mitigated because there are free group classes and smaller free events that you can do as long as you’re in good standing. Also the teachers are very good and used to working one on one so you’re certainly getting your money’s worth. They’re observant, patient, and are quality dancers themselves. At the very least if you can’t shell out the money for coming in once a week, you can use it as a supplementary set of lessons that are done once in a while.It’s definitely a recommend, and I say at the very least give it a try.
