Arthur Murray Dance Studio Vancouver WA

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Vancouver teaches partner dancing to beginners and experienced dancers alike. The studio offers lessons for singles looking to learn without a partner, couples seeking a new date night activity, and engaged couples planning their first dance. You'll learn on your very first lesson and leave with a plan of action for the next few sessions.

The studio teaches over 30 styles of dance across ballroom, Latin, smooth, rhythm, swing and country western categories. Specific styles include Waltz, Cha Cha, Salsa (LA Style), Bachata, Merengue, East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, Argentine Tango, Tango Vals, Milonga, and Two-Step. Whether you want an elegant waltz, a fun swing, or a romantic rumba, instructors personalise programmes to match your goals and timeline.

Wedding couples receive dedicated support including music editing as part of their lesson package. The studio offers three structural approaches: full choreography with set steps, lead-and-follow improvisation, or a combination of both. You can start several months before your wedding or even just weeks before—the studio recommends wedding dances run 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Your first wedding dance lesson costs $80.
