Arthur Murray Dance Studio Culver City

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Culver City teaches ballroom, Latin, and swing dancing to beginners and experienced dancers alike. You can take lessons as a single, with a partner, or to prepare for a wedding first dance. The studio offers over 30 styles of dance, with particular depth in Salsa (including LA Style, Bachata, and Merengue), Swing (East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, and West Coast Swing), and Argentine Tango (including Tango Vals and Milonga). They also teach Waltz, Cha Cha, Two-Step, and Country dancing.

For singles, the studio emphasises community and social connection. You'll learn to dance on your very first lesson and gain confidence to dance at clubs and parties. Most students start as complete beginners. For couples, the focus is on date night and reconnection—the studio runs Thursday night dance parties where you can practise in a social setting and have fun moving together.

Wedding couples have access to a detailed planning process. You can choose between full choreography, lead-and-follow improvisation, or a combination of both. The studio handles song editing as part of the service and will choreograph mash-ups if you want multiple songs. Your instructor recommends a lesson plan based on your dance's complexity and your timeline; most couples attend once or twice weekly in the months before the wedding. The studio explicitly states it has wedding dance programmes for any budget, and offers a first wedding lesson for $60.
