My girlfriend and I wanted to take dance lessons together. We each had some dance experience and enjoy dancing at clubs and country bars. Before we made the decision to dance at Arthur Murray Beaverton we tried a different company in downtown Portland for comparison. Im sure we would have learned a lot at the other studio but the friendliness of the Arthur Murray Beaverton staff was hard to beat. Weve been dancing at Arthur Murray for almost 10 months now and love it. Dance lessons are a commitment of time and money but the results have been very rewarding and we can always count on an ample supply of smiles and laughs from the staff and students. Weve had the opportunity to take lessons with several different instructors and they have all been great. Each instructor has there own style but they are all fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Since starting lessons, my girlfriend and I have had many opportunities to dance at weddings, parties and clubs and we get a lot more complements now than we ever did before, must be working :)

Ive been to many dance studios, but I recommend Arthur Murray Beaverton as one of the best studios I have joined. I moved to Portland 2 years ago, not knowing a single person, but AM Beaverton helped me find many friends who I can now call family. Both the staff and the students are very welcoming, and stepping into the studio instantaneously lets me forget about any bad days I have because the studio is so fun! Dancing at this studio is also a great way to stay in shape because they offer many group classes throughout the week, including Saturdays. If you have never danced before, this studio is a great place to get started. The instructors will teach the dances at a speed you are comfortable, and you can tailor your program with the dances you like. Once you advance in your program, the instructors can also teach you technical aspects of dance, such as performance skills.

We received a coupon for a complimentary lesson from the place we booked our wedding at to Arthur Murray Dance Studio. The gal who gave our private lesson was very sweet and knowledgeable (except on how to work their music system). After our 30min "complimentary lesson" we were sat down for the "sales pitch". When I mentioned that we were not sure if their packages fit into our wedding budget the manager let me know that it "didnt matter if we bought a package, they had plenty of other paying students". Walked away and came back to tell us that we could either sign up for a package or our 30min private lesson would cost $20. It was a bogus experience all together. Be leery

I have been a student at Arthur Murray Beaverton for the last 2.5 years. I would never go anywhere else to learn to dance. I danced at other places before finding this studio. I have had five dance teachers and I can honestly say that my teacher at AMBeaverton is the best Ive ever had. I have been working with him for the past 2 years. He is incredibly knowledgeable and a perfect balance of technique and fun. The entire staff cares so much about each student and making sure that we have the best experience possible. If you have ever wanted to dance or had a passing thought that it would be fun, I highly recommend Arthur Murray Beaverton, it is a magical place.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio -Beaverton is an amazing place to go learn to dance. They changed my life and I know many of their students would tell you the same. I went in to learn to dance but I not only got to learn how to dance, I found myself! I am a better and happier person because of it. The staff there are wonderful caring people and will do all they can to make your experience as good as they can. It might be a fantasy land in there but it changes you. You learn to live life to the fullest. Hey where else would you find a place to learn how to dance beautifully and become beautiful inside and outside. Go try it out for yourself and you will not regret it.

We have been going to this dance studio for over 5 years. We started just to learn a dance for our oldest daughters wedding but enjoyed it so much we continued taking lessons. Shannon and Tom have been there the whole time and have been our teachers for that time as well. They are GREAT! They are patient, and kind. It is NEVER intimidating and everyone is so welcoming there. They make learning to dance so easy to do. We have learned Foxtrot, Rumba, Hustle, Cha Cha, Two step, and Swing. We feel that if we are at any function where there is music, we can dance. I highly recommend Arthur Murray but in particular I would go to the Beaverton studio.

My husband got me a gift certificate for us to learn dancing six years ago for valentines day, it was the most romantic gift ever. We thought wed be going for one maybe two years but the longer we go the more we love learning to dance. Now retired we find its a great way to exercise our minds and bodies. Its created a very active social life for us, besides the lessons and parties at the studio there are many other studio sponsored events. We now attend more charity events and people are always impressed with how well we dance. We love our teachers and they and the management are very supportive. If there were ten stars Id give it ten.

Never having taken dance lessons before, I did not know what to expect when I first came to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio. What I found was an excellent staff who really care about all their students and make the whole experience wonderful. It feels like I am with very dear friends every time I am at the studio. They make learning how to dance so much fun that it amazes me how much I have learned in such a short time. It has made all the difference to me to find something I enjoy so much with a wonderful instructor who truly cares about what I want to get out of the dance lessons.

I have been taking lessons from Shannon and Tom for over 5 years now. When I started, I can honestly say that I did not know a single step to any dance. Now I can confidently do at least 10 dances. When my wife and I dance in public, people are always coming up to us, telling us how great we are (we really arent) and telling us how they wished they knew how to dance too. Well, you can! Just start! It is fun, great exercise, and provides you with a close "family" of other students and teachers. No more watching TV in the evenings. We have an active social life. It is fun. Try it!

Throw out the negatives! My Fiance and I just returned from our first lesson at Arthur Murray Dance Studio and we loved it! The studio is under new management now and they have really done an excellent job at making it a friendly and fun place to be. Any reviews more than 6 months ago you can just forget, they all refer to the studio under the old management team - but things have changed! We were really pleased with Shannon and her professionalism and Paige was a very friendly and helpful instructor, especially for beginners.
