About this studio
Arthur Murray Dance Center of Dayton is an Arthur Murray franchise located at 17 Prestige Plaza Drive in Miamisburg, Ohio. The studio teaches over 30 styles of dance across ballroom, Latin, smooth, rhythm, and swing categories. Their method—developed by the Arthur Murray legacy—is designed to get beginners on the dance floor on their first lesson, using what they call their "fool-proof" interrelated system.
The studio offers three main lesson tracks: singles lessons for those without a partner or experience, couples lessons focused on date night and partnership, and specialised wedding dance packages. For weddings, they offer choreography, lead-and-follow instruction, or a combination of both, with options ranging from simple to elaborate routines. They also handle music editing as part of wedding packages, and their first lesson starts at $39. Most couples come in once or twice a week leading up to their wedding.
Specific dance styles taught include Waltz, Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa, Tango, and Two-Step. Within salsa, they cover LA Style Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, and Cha Cha. Swing instruction focuses on East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop (named after aviator Charles "Lucky Lindy" Lindbergh), and West Coast Swing, which originated in California in the 1940s. Argentine Tango and Country dancing are also offered.
On a first lesson, you'll be asked about your goals, aspirations, and the look and feel you'd like to have, then guided through basics by a certified instructor. You'll leave with a plan of action for upcoming sessions. The studio operates Monday 5pm–9pm, Tuesday–Friday 12pm–9pm, and Saturday 10am–2pm. Customer reviews highlight their patience with beginners, willingness to modify routines (such as for restrictive wedding dresses), friendly staff, and uplifting environment. The studio serves Dayton, Miamisburg, Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Centerville, Fairborn, Huber Heights, Kettering, Springfield, and Xenia.
