About this studio
Arthur Murray Dance Studio Coral Gables teaches ballroom, Latin, and swing dancing to singles, couples, and wedding dancers. The studio's signature approach—called the Arthur Murray Method—is built on the principle that everyone can learn to dance, regardless of background or partner status. You'll start learning on your very first lesson and leave with a plan for the next few sessions.
The studio offers over 30 styles of dance. Within Latin, you can learn LA Style Salsa (danced in a slot with fast hand changes), Bachata (slower and romantic, featuring spins and dips), Merengue (steady and easy, the simplest Latin dance to learn), and Cha Cha. For swing, they teach East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop (fast-tempo, syncopated, inspired by the Charleston), and West Coast Swing (smooth, laid-back, originating from California in the 1940s). They also teach Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Argentine Tango, Two-Step, Country Western, and many more.
They specialise in three lesson types: singles lessons (no partner or experience needed), couples lessons (for date nights and reconnection), and wedding dance lessons (with options for choreography, lead-and-follow, or a combination of both). For weddings, they offer music editing as part of the service, recommend dances lasting 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and help couples at any stage—those planning far ahead or those with weddings around the corner. They run specialty dance series, including recent themed events like The Great Gatsby with 1920s dress code.
The studio is located at 2916 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables, near the University of Miami and Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens. Hours are Monday–Friday 1pm–10pm and Saturday 12pm–4pm. They serve Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Kendall, Key Biscayne, Miami, Pinecrest, and South Miami. Instructors are described by students as professional, passionate, and patient. The studio has a 4.8 Google rating from 38 reviews.
