About this studio
Arthur Murray Dance Centers Orlando teaches ballroom and Latin dancing at 6700 Conroy Windermere Rd, Suite 225. The studio offers over 30 styles of dance across six main categories: Ballroom, Latin, Smooth, Rhythm, Swing, and Country Western. You can take lessons as a single, as a couple, or prepare specifically for a wedding first dance.
The studio's approach centres on the Arthur Murray Method, described as a fool-proof system designed to get you on the dance floor quickly. On your first lesson, after discussing your goals and the look and feel you want, a highly-trained instructor guides you through basics. The source emphasizes that you'll start to learn to dance on your very first lesson and leave with a plan of action for the next few sessions. No partner and no experience are not obstacles—most students start as total beginners.
For wedding couples, the studio offers three structural approaches: full choreography (a set of planned steps), lead and follow (impromptu signalling between partners), or a combination of both. Instructors recommend which suits you based on how you learn, your timeline, and your desired look and feel. The studio includes music editing as part of wedding dance lessons—whether you want a simple fade or a mashup. Couples typically come in once or twice a week for private lessons leading up to the wedding. The studio recommends starting several months in advance, though it's never too late if your wedding is soon.
Specific dance styles taught include LA Style Salsa (staying in a line, breaking on counts 1 and 5), Bachata (slower, sultry, featuring spins and ripples), Merengue (steady marching beat, easiest Latin dance to learn), East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop (syncopated shuffles and energetic kicks), West Coast Swing (smooth, precise movements with laid-back swagger, originating from California in the 1940s), Argentine Tango (slow sensual movements with hypnotizing shapes and leg styling), Tango Vals (3/4 rhythm inspired by Viennese Waltz), and Milonga (faster tango with lightning-fast footwork).
The studio is part of the Arthur Murray franchise, which traces back to founder Arthur Murray and his belief that everyone can learn to dance. The franchise has grown to over 300 locations worldwide. Arthur Murray Orlando operates multiple locations including Clermont, Lake Mary, Orlando, St Petersburg, and Wildwood.
