About this studio
Arthur Murray Toledo teaches ballroom and Latin dance to singles, couples, and wedding dancers at their studio on Central Avenue. The studio specializes in getting beginners comfortable on the dance floor through an interrelated system that works with any style of music—Waltz, Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa, Tango, Two-Step, West Coast Swing, Argentine Tango, and over 30 styles in total. You can learn as a single dancer or couple, and no partner or prior experience is required.
The studio offers three lesson formats: personal lessons tailored to your pace and learning style, group classes for repetition and muscle memory with a variety of partners, and practice parties to apply what you've learned. Instructors dress in business attire and create routines matched to each student's skill level. The atmosphere is described by long-term students as close-knit and family-like, with no judgment and strong encouragement even for nervous first-timers.
Wedding dance lessons are a focus—couples with no dance background report learning quickly and gaining confidence for their big day. The studio also serves singles looking for a fun hobby and social community, and older dancers returning to movement after years away. One student trained for seven years after taking a free trial lesson.
Damien Sanderson leads the studio as Dance Director. He is noted across reviews for high energy, patience, clear explanations broken down from the ground up, creative choreography, and ability to read and adapt to different learning styles and personalities. Other instructors including Gareth are also mentioned as knowledgeable and personable. The studio is open Monday 4–9pm, Tuesday–Thursday 1–9pm, and Friday 4–9pm; closed weekends. It serves Toledo, Maumee, Oregon, Ottawa Hills, Perrysburg, Rossford, West Toledo, and Sylvania.
