Arthur Murray Dance Studio

My husband and I have been taking lessons since last October. We love our instruction or, Brittney, but all the instructors are awesome! If you are thinking about dance lessons, this is the place to go to. There are Friday night dance parties, outings, and get-togethers so you get to meet new people and make friends is easy in this amazing community! It’s always a fun time when we are at Arthur Murray’s in Madison!

Great Instructors and the chance to develop good friends. Also, financially less challenging than some other studios.

This has become my favorite hang out since I started taking lessons back in November. It's fun and friendly, and the only place I want to be after a hard day. The people here always cheer me up, and I love working with them :)

When I first started at Arthur Murray, I had just started learning to swing dance with friends. I tend to be fairly nervous in new social situations, and I was worried that I wouldn’t quite “fit in” with something like ballroom dancing. I was worried about making mistakes, looking foolish, and even just being myself. Luckily for me, I could not have been more unfounded in my concerns. The staff at Arthur Murray have been kind, patient and encouraging from the absolute beginning. Their constant affirmation and support have created an environment where I could not only recognize those problems, but also feel comfortable enough to work through them. Since starting at Arthur Murray, I’ve overcome anxiety issues, found new levels of courage I didn’t know I had, and broken free of perfectionism. Their staff value me as a customer and a person, and I never have to worry about being “good enough.” They are funny, gifted, diligent, committed and knowledgeable, they are consistently flexible with my dancing goals, and the environment in the studios is always positive. The staff are passionate about their work and their craft, always learning not only new moves but also new ways to teach, and the studios are always immaculate. Dancing has made me a healthier, more vibrant and confident person—not to mention a better storyteller—which is my passion—and I literally would not be the person I am today without their help. For anyone looking for topnotch teaching from professional, encouraging teachers with individualized pacing, lessons and schedules, look no further than Arthur Murray dance studios in Sun Prairie and Madison.

I find it VERY interesting that being around music, dancing to music, and the people around me, also doing the same thing, has transformed who I am on and OFF the dance floor. Wish I could bottle this stuff up. EVERYONE should have the happiness and benefits that dancing at Arthur Murray Studios (Madison and Sun Prairie) provides to all their students. From the physical transformation (toned legs, back, abs) to the vivid improvement in posture, which translates to positive confidence. My work has improved and the positive energy that I now feel, is noticed by my co workers and friends. Even my wardrobe has transformed. Buying shirts that flow well during dance, wearing a vest as well now. Got nicer shoes as I notice my feet ALOT lately. :-) I take pride in my appearance, with the fact that I am able to dance at any time of the day, or when ANY opportunity arises to move to the music. Even listening to music is dramatically enhanced. I hear the beat and envision which style of dance would best fit for that music. The instructors are amazing. they LOVE what they do and it shows in how they share their love of dance with the students. All this is great and almost expected in a well established, professional dance studio...what is not expected is the sincere personal interest Mr. Ken Norton and his team, has with all the students. Mr. Norton knows very well, that dancing can improve all aspects of your life, and he wants nothing but the best for his students. Keep up the great work...you make this community a better place to live through your teachings.
