About this studio
Arthur Murray Dance Studio Whitefish Bay teaches partner dances to singles, couples and wedding-focused students. The studio specialises in ballroom and Latin styles, with over 30 dances available across their programme. You can learn Waltz, Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa, Tango, and Two-Step, among others.
The studio runs dedicated lesson tracks for three main student groups. Singles lessons focus on building confidence and social skills without requiring a partner. Couples lessons are framed as date nights and relationship-building opportunities. Wedding dance lessons include full planning support: music editing, choreography choices (choreography only, lead-and-follow only, or a combination of both), and personalised instruction. The studio recommends starting wedding lessons several months in advance, though they accept students closer to their big day.
First lessons follow a structured approach. After answering questions about your goals and what you want the dance to feel and look like, you'll learn basics from a certified instructor. You'll start dancing on your very first lesson and leave with a plan for the next sessions. The studio uses what it calls a "fool-proof method" designed to get you on the dance floor quickly.
Salsa lessons encompass multiple Latin styles: LA Style Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, and Cha Cha. Swing lessons cover East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, and West Coast Swing. Wedding dance options include Waltz, Rumba, Swing and "fun wedding mash-ups". The studio also offers Salsa, Swing, Argentine Tango and Country dance lessons as standalone classes.
The studio serves the wider North Shore area including Bayside, Brown Deer, Cedarburg, Fox Point, Glendale, Mequon, Milwaukee, River Hills, Shorewood, Wauwatosa, West Bend and Whitefish Bay. They also operate a second location in Brookfield and rent out space for private events.
