Programs we offer

During this free introductory lesson a certified Arthur Murray instructor will work with you to assess your abilities and understand your dance goals, then make a professional recommendation as to which of our introductory programs will best suit your needs.

Basic Skills – Beginners Program

The Basic Skills – Beginners program is used to introduce students to the basics of different dance styles. For those new to dancing, this will begin to develop fundamental elements that every great dancer needs.
The length of each dance student’s Beginner Program will be different, depending on the skill level and ability of the individual or couple. On average, though, most students will take a 4 to 6 lesson basic skills course, comprised of private lessons, group classes and studio parties. During the course of this program we also help you establish how you would like to look like on the dance floor.

The goal of this program is to expand a student’s repertoire of steps in their chosen dances while developing and solidifying the foundation elements of dancing. This program serves as an excellent springboard into more advanced social dance training.

The Full Bronze Social Dance Program is the most popular standard of training and is the complete social dance program. Bronze dancers have all the confidence anyone would need on the floor because they have reached the “fun point” in dancing. This program results in good, all-round, comfortable social dancing.

Then, if you wish to challenge yourself further, we offer students advanced Silver and Gold level dance programs.

These events allow our students to extend their skills and get comfortable with dancing in public, all in a familiar, supportive setting with familiar faces.

District Events – Several times a year Arthur Murray organises larger events involving multiple studios. These events are usually held in a hotel ballroom and combine competitive dancing across most styles and numerous skill levels for each style. The event will typically finish with a professional floor show performance and gala dinner. These events are open to all skill levels and are a great way to meet and socialise with Arthur Murray students and teachers from other studios.

Dance-O-Rama – These are the largest and grandest of all our exhibition events and draws Arthur Murray students from all over the world. Replicating the glitz and glamour of television events such as “Dancing with the Stars”, Dance-O-Ramas are multi-day events held in some of the finest resort hotels in exotic locations such as Hawaii, Las Vegas and Italy.
With students and teachers participating from all over the world it is both a wonderful social experience as well as a unique opportunity to take your dancing to the next level.
