I can’t recommend these guys enough. Last summer, my husband and I wanted to learn something simple for our first dance at our wedding. And we are both hopeless – I have two left feet and my husband is like Steve Martin in The Jerk (no rhythm!). But somehow, in just six lessons, Kia and Tiffany taught us a nice hesitation waltz that we performed at our wedding.
They are so patient and encouraging and professional. We bought a package, which was a bit pricey, but so worth it. They also have lots of fun events and parties you can go to. One of the things that really encouraged me was that all the teachers I met hadn’t started dancing until they were older. I think that gives them a deeper understanding of what it’s like for regular people learning this for the first time.
Go there. Learn to dance. It’s awesome.

The place is great!!! I never thought I’d get my husband to take lessons with me. Not only does he not mind going, he ended up loving it! Our instructor Fran is just wonderful– an excellent dancer, super friendly person and talented teacher. We are loving it so far! The space is fun and inviting with plenty of parking — bonus. Everyone there is welcoming and the dancing is amazing! We’ll definitely keep going for a long time and we both recommend Arthur Murray Cambridge to anyone!

My wife and I went to Aurthur Murray to learn a dance for wedding rehearsal. We worked with Kate who was super enthusiastic and help us learn the basics. She taught us two different styles that would go together well with the song we picked. We were really happy with our first dance and that we were able to learn the basics to dance together at future events.

I looked this place up on Unilocal.It’s located right next to the summer shack in alewife with plenty of parking and about a 5 minute walk from the t stop. Great location!
I signed up online for the free lesson with Kia who was great. She explained everything on the phone and promptly signed me up for a lesson. The studio was fantastic. Clean, spiffy floors and awesome music and clientelle. We danced for about 25 minutes or so. Kia was a joy to dance with. We did the waltz, swing and a bit of salsa. She urged me to sign up for the classes and I’m glad I did. There are plenty more of group lessons that one can take and also evening mixers for all levels which are included in your package. I was a little thrown off by the formal clothes but I think that will grow on me with time.
I enjoyed my time so much that I signed up for the 4 class package. A bit pricey but I think it’s a great investment in personal development. Kia was totally fine with signing me up as a female partner but usually they pair a male and female. Bottom line, they are very accommodating. I would really recommend this place to anyone looking for a great workout, fun time and meet like minded people. Don’t think. Just do it.

I’ve been interested in taking dancing lessons for a very long time, but trying something new is always intimidating! Fortunately, from my first email, phone call and in-​person interactions with the Arthur Murray Cambridge staff, I felt comfortable, encouraged and welcome. I am meeting wonderful new friends and having a blast!

I had never been comfortable on the dance floor, in fact I was and felt embarrassing. My fiancée dragged me to a class a few months ago, and although I have always enjoyed watching modern dance and ballet, I was ignorant about ballroom and more than a little nervous. I can’t say enough nice things about Kia and Christian. They completely set me at ease, with expertly paced lessons and very encouraging attitude. I now enjoy dancing, and actually get compliments now and then. My fiancée and I agree that taking classes at Arthur Murray is the best thing we’ve done as a couple other than adopt our dog.
