About this studio
Arthur Murray Dance Center in Barcelona is part of a global chain with over 109 years of teaching history across 22 countries and more than 300 centres worldwide.

The studio offers several distinct learning pathways. Social dance classes focus on fun, interaction and connection between dancers, teaching you to move freely across multiple styles. Competitive training provides structured discipline focused on precision, technique and artistic presentation, guided by professional dancers and instructors. Wedding dance lessons are tailored one-on-one, preparing you to surprise your guests on your special day. Children and adolescents have access to age-appropriate, personalised pedagogical programmes.
The studio operates Monday to Saturday with flexible scheduling—instructors adapt to your available times rather than forcing you into fixed slots. You can join without a dance partner; learning solo first means you'll develop technique that works with any partner later. First-time visitors should wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes; your instructor will guide you on proper dance shoes and where to find them.
Party nights are a regular feature, offering chances to practise what you've learned, meet other dancers and enjoy social dancing in a supported environment—attendance is optional but encouraged as you gain confidence. The school describes itself as a family-friendly, professional space adapted to all levels and ages.
