About this studio
Arthur Murray Dance Studio Honolulu, located at 12 South King Street, teaches over 30 styles of partner dance to beginners and experienced dancers alike. The studio's method is built on the principle that everyone can learn to dance, regardless of prior experience. Whether you're interested in Waltz, Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa, Tango, Two-Step, Argentine Tango, or Country Western, their certified instructors personalize programs to your learning style and goals.
For singles, the studio offers a welcoming community and a chance to meet people while learning to dance. Couples can take lessons as a new date night activity or to rekindle romance. Wedding couples have access to a specialized program: instructors help you choose your first dance style (elegant waltz, romantic rumba, fun swing, or mash-ups), offer music editing as part of the service, and can create choreography, lead-and-follow instruction, or a combination of both depending on your preference and timeline. The studio recommends starting several months before your wedding, though they can accommodate last-minute bookings using their proven method.
Your first lesson is a 20-minute private introductory session with a certified instructor. You'll learn the basics and get introduced to something slow and something fast. This initial consultation allows you and your instructor to understand your learning style so they can build a personalized plan. The studio promises you'll be dancing on your very first lesson. Lessons are available Tuesday through Saturday in afternoons and evenings.
The studio serves greater Honolulu, including Ala Moana, Kahala, Kakaako, Kalihi, Kapalama, Makiki, Moʻiliʻili, Nuʻuanu-Punchbowl, and Sand Island. Arthur Murray has a century-long legacy: founded on the belief that dancing should be accessible to all, it has grown from mail-order footprints into a network of over 300 franchised studios worldwide. The Honolulu location is newly opened by owners with deep roots in the Arthur Murray system.
