Arthur Murray Dance Centers have been teaching the world to dance since 1912. We have revolutionized the way people learn how to dance by keeping it Fun, Quick, and Easy. In an Arthur Murray Dance Center, you will often hear, “Walk In, Dance Out.” When an Individual or Couple comes to Arthur Murray, they can trust that they will receive the best instruction in the world.
When it comes to learning dance, the side effects can be very surprising. These side effects can help you in all facets of your life. From numerous health benefits to social aspects, dancing can shape you in ways you may never expect. Many doctors now prescribe dance lessons for patients who have high stress levels, weight loss goals, posture/spine concerns, and more.

Some studies have even shown that ballroom dancing can help with mental diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The fact that you’re consistently learning and making rapid decisions helps improve brain function. The studies have shown that “Dancing integrates several brain functions at once—kinesthetic, rational, musical, and emotional—further increasing your neural connectivity.” This combination can be hard to find in one single activity, so maximize your time and dance!

For some people, Ballroom Dancing offers a social life and place to belong that they can’t and won’t find anywhere else. Many people find social situations overwhelming and would rather stay home, but when they discover this community and start dancing, their social anxiety dissipates. All of a sudden, a night alone becomes a night of dancing with friends. Anyone can become a dancer, and social ease is just the start. Confidence increases in someone who Dances and that translates into every aspect of one’s life. Imagine being able to walk taller and command a room when working on that next big project at work, or when moving toward a promotion. If you worry about that first time in the Arthur Murray Dance Center, don’t fret because you are not alone. Trust us when we say, “The hardest step you will ever take is the first one through the front door.” The goal and focus of every Personal lesson, every Semi-private group class, and every Practice party is to create a catalyst that will promote positive change in the students’ lives.
Some students come in because date nights have become predictable and they want to find something that isn’t always the same old, same old. Dinner and a movie can be nice, but unless you really love movies there are always going to be ones you would rather wait to see at home. Or maybe the fifth night of dinner and Netflix has started to feel boring and you can’t agree on what TV show or movie to watch anymore. Ballroom dancing can give you a fresh new outlook on date night and even add some spice to the routine. Whether it’s just going to the studio for a Personal lesson and a Practice party or going to a local dance spot and hitting the floor with some Salsa, Rumba, Country Western 2-Step, or another genre, having a social activity that both of you can enjoy while reconnecting with each other is priceless.
Weddings are another reason that people learn to dance, whether for the first dance, parent dances, or even a group dance for the whole wedding party. Arthur Murray Dance Center in Edgewater/Annapolis can help make memories that will last a lifetime. For a Bride and Groom, the first dance can mean so many different things and be as special and unique as every couple. From a classical pick, like Frank Sinatra, to a more modern selection, like Ed Sheeran, or even something different that speaks to you as a couple, Arthur Murray can help make your dream first dance into reality. Beyond learning the first dance, most students find coming into the studio for lessons while planning a wedding to be great stress relief and they look forward to coming every week. How long you need to work on your first dance depends on each couple and your overall vision. However, a good rule of thumb is about three months before your big day. Remember that this is a new skill and that it takes time to get comfortable and develop muscle memory.
