Living with back pain is no fun as many of us "boomers" can attest to. After one of my many back surgeries our next door neighbors suggested my husband and I try ballroom dancing. I was dubious because at the time I was walking with a walker and using a leg brace for a foot drop. Only in my mid 40s so I was pretty bummed out about that!! We tried Arthur Murray and 9 years later I am so so happy we did. My neurosurgeon agrees! I still have back issues but ballroom dancing is based on good posture and strengthening your core so I know without the wonderful benefits, both physical and psychological, I would be in worse pain. The owners and staff at Arthur Murray are among some of the most compassionate people I have met. And the friends I have made there I will keep for a lifetime. Plus I get to wear sequins!!! I have competed at national competitions and have done well. I would recommend dancing ballroom to anyone and particularly at this studio! It changed my life for the better!!

I have been dancing at Arthur Murray Rochester since almost 8 years now. Over time, this became my family in Rochester. The teachers and staff are extremely friendly, and very professional. They make you feel welcome, and if I have entered the studio for a lesson with a grumpy face, I step out laughing, so much more cheerful. They somehow have it in them to bring a smile to any face. Besides their personal cheerfulness, each of the teachers are super talented, and and extremely patient with the student, understanding the fact that we are afterall not professionals. They encourage you, they teach you, they chat with you....its just a very happy environment they create because of their overall positivity....a mini "Magic Kingdom" of its own!! I thank them for bringing out whats best in me...for making my life so much better . with immense gratitude.....Shweta

I recently took lessons at Arthur Murray in pittsford for my June wedding and cant speak highly enough of this place! My dad and I took lessons for our father/daughter dance and just within the 12 weeks, my dad went from not liking to dance and having no confidence, to having a ton of confidence and wanting to take more dance lessons! I also became more confident in my dancing as well! Our instructor, Dominick, was amazing to work with and made the lessons fun and effective! All the rest of the employees were very welcoming, friendly, and accomodating. The franchise owners, Joe and Kate are awesome people and you can see their passion and love for what they do! I HIGHLY recommend trying out Arthur Murray for the non-experienced AND experienced...you wont be dissapointed!

I have been dancing at Arthur Murray for 9 years, both as a couple with my husband and as a competitive student with a professional partner. I have always been impressed by the quality of their instruction and customer service. The staff are accommodating to newcomers and established clients alike. Group of classes at many levels (from beginner to very experienced) offer many opportunities to dance during the week in addition to private instruction. The studio is also a very pretty space, so it is a nice place to meet people, spend some leisure time, and learn some neat dance moves. All in all, I highly recommend Arthur Murray Rochester for anyone wanting to learn to dance. Its great!

My husband got us lessons as my Christmas 2015 present...and we havent stopped since! We have so much fun with all of the staff and instructors! We learn, we laugh....its like hanging out with great friends! We also had the opportunity to accompany them to the Boston competition. It was amazing! We felt very prepared to compete (Thank you, Emily!!)...it was definitely a once in a lifetime trip and we enjoyed every minute! For us, lesson time is a combination of date night and stress relief from our hectic life! ~~~ Give it a try, youll love it! ~~~

Most wonderful helpful instructors for private lessons, group lessons, and for dancing with you at the parties. They are patient, encouraging, and very effective at getting the steps mastered. I feel like a million bucks! I am in better shape than ever and am always happy just thinking about going to dance. At first, my husband was just going along with it for my benefit. But now, he is excited and enjoying the fun of leading and the fitness benefits. And lots of new friends...

I have been dancing at Arthur Murray for about 5 years and I can not even express how much I enjoy being a part of this studio! Not only is the staff professional, they also do everything they can to make you feel at home when you are there. Being a small, local business over myself, I can say that the overall experience is just fantastic. I would recommend this studio to anyone who is thinking about taking lessons either just for fun, or to get ready for an event!

My fiancé and I visited Arthur Murray in hopes of a nice dance routine for our wedding, and were so we did! Ed was such a pleasure to work with; he was patient, kind, and very encouraging. We hope we can visit again one day! Thanks for everything! -Tori and Alec

I started taking classes at this studio specifically for Swing / Lindy Hop. Absolutely love the lessons! The instructor is very down-to-earth and willing to go at my pace. She is very encouraging and infuses the perfect mix of fun and difficulty into each lesson.
