Amazing instructors. My wife and I are taking classes and Ive never done any kind of dancing before. By the end of the first class I was already feeling comfortable with the beginning steps. The whole studio is just really positive energy and supportive people.
I’ve been taking lessons at Arthur Murray Santa Barbara for 4 years, and I have definitely advanced in all my many dances. That is smooth, rhythm and specialty dances I owe much of my progress to the extremely talented & dedicated teachers. I appreciate that the teachers are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly and encouraging. Putting it honestly, the teachers are my friends & I’m grateful to have them in my life. Lucky me!
The Arthur Murray Santa Barbara experience is second to none, with world class professional instructors that are experts in their craft. The studio teaches dozens of different dances, through both private and group lessons, so students have a multitude of choices. Whether you want to learn smooth dances like waltz or tango, rhythm like cha cha, salsa, or swing, or even country western, the Arthur Murray instructors always demonstrate complete competence, confidence, kindness, and patience. The studio is very inviting and friendly, and a great place to make new friends, all while doing one of the best mind and body activities, dancing. Thanks very much Arthur Murray Santa Barbara for having such a positive impact on your students lives.
This studio is perfect if you’re looking for a fun community of dancers and excellent instruction. The teachers at this studio do a great job of helping you make progress towards your dance goals, whatever they are! There are students who are just looking for a wedding dance and other students who are looking to compete at a high level and everything in between and the studio is so supportive of everyone’s journeys. I’ve been dancing with this studio for a year now and always look forward to my time there whether that’s a private lesson, group class, or party.
My now wife and I started to come here to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. We received a beautifully choreographed dance and excellent instruction that helped the two of us feel confident for our big day. Thats quite the accomplishment since we are both shy people that never dance. Well, I should say never use to dance because we stuck around after the wedding for more lessons. It has become a fun hobby for the two of us. All the instructors at the studio are excellent and provide a friendly, fun, and non-judgmental atmosphere.
My wife and I have been going to Arthur Murray dance Studio here in Santa Barbara for 12 years. We have enjoyed every challenge given. The new franchisees, Serge and Kristen, and the instructors, Heidi, Josh and Liana are simply amazing. The have brought a higher level of dance and more importantly,fun, to the dance studio. They make you feel relaxed and confident so that you look amazing when you dance. I highly recommend it to anyone that ever thought they wanted to learn to dance.
Arthur Murray SB is an amazing and first-class experience for the new or seasoned dancer. Every instructor is professional, friendly, and concerned about helping students reach their goals. There are plenty of events, parties, and classes for practicing and socializing. If you want to feel at home and learn a great new hobby, I highly recommend that you dance at AMSB!
My husband and I love dancing with Arthur Murray. We have learned so many different dances, from swing to salsa to hustle and more. This is a great place to come and enjoy private or group classes of all levels, fitness classes, and even social dancing or competitive ballroom. They do it all! We came in to learn a special dance for a wedding, but we stayed to learn how to be good social dancers and now we are competing in ballroom!
Fantastic place to learn to dance! We started lessons to prepare for our daughters wedding. Now we want to keep learning for ourselves! The staff are wonderful and make you feel like part of a family.
I am a student at the Arthur Murray studio in Las Vegas who finds myself in Santa Barbara fairly often. Thankfully a student at one Arthur Murray is a student at all Arthur Murrays and I have the opportunity to continue my dance education here when Im away from home.I must say the instructors and franchise owners in Santa Barbara are top notch. Every day at the studio my dancing improves and I have a great time doing it. The staff and other students have made me feel like I have a dance home away from home :-)Whether an absolute beginner, an advanced student, a social or competitive dancer, I highly recommend the Arthur Murray studio in Santa Barbara (or in Vegas when youre there)!!!
This is an outstanding studio - the teachers are experienced, skilled and patient with all levels of dancers, whether beginner or experienced professionals. Each instructor is fun, talented and encouraging and clearly genuinely excited about sharing and helping you meet your goals. I came in with zero knowledge or experience and Ive had a lot more fun and learned a lot more than I would have thought possible, and could not have done it without this amazing team. I cannot recommend it highly enough for a place to learn and have fun dancing.
My fiancé and I took a private lesson to learn some steps for our first dance and we had so much fun. Our instructor was excellent and we hope to make it back for some other classes.
HI! I have been taking lessons at The Arthur Murray Studios for over 2 years now. In the beginning it felt a little awkward and I was super shy. Now I feel(for sure) more confident and relaxed. It has helped my dancing and coordination a lot(for sure). (Oh) and Orion is the best! Arthur Murray Rocks! And I look forward to being in another grand and sparkling Arthur Murray event!
My family and I have had so much fun taking lessons here and the staff are amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dance studio or just for a new hobby.
Arthur Murray is excellent at teaching people how to be a leader or follower. You can learn routines everywhere but it takes talented teachers to show you the art of leading and following.
Am an Arthur Murray student visiting from NY and was absolutely blown away by the instructors at this studio! I want to come back and take lessons from Kristin, Cece and Sabrina!
Absolutely a blast! This awesome dance studio makes me look forward to going there, learning, laughing and dancing. Karen is so fun and runs a wonderful family orientated business. Im in for the long haul!
This place is literally the best dance studio in town, all of the staff are super nice and fun. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!! Don’t forget to ask about their guest special if you go!
All of the instructors are fantastic! This is a great place to learn to dance, regardless of your level.
I wholeheartedly agree with all of the above reviews. I will simply add that I am having the time of my life. I am so grateful to be a part of this awesome dance studio. :-)
I love it here, Kristen and serge are amazing and all the teachers are so kind and wonderful.
