    We came to learn how to do our first dance for our wedding, and our instructor Jocelyn was great. She helped us become better dancers, and gave us confidence to put on a good show for our guests. She put together a routine that matched our song very well. She would watch and comment on every move we made, to make sure we were doing everything correctly and that it looked good. As well, the rest of the staff was friendly and supportive if we asked for help or had any questions. Great place to learn how to dance!

    Last year I was looking to do something new here in Toronto. And I found AMNY. I like to dance so why not try it as a student. Yes it costs money but they will work around your budget. Plus there are group classes and practice parties and some events where you can get together with other studios and dance the night away with no extra costs. The studio gets busy at times and yes, there are other classes going on at the same time. But that is the fun part of it. Learning to dance surrounded by people with same interest. And the positive energy is so strong, it just puts a smile to your face. You only need to be committed to it and it will all be worth it. And special thanks to all instructors. You are the best!

    I went to Arthur Murry Dance Studio as a beginner. I did not have confidence to dance in public. They have really amazing instructors who inspire me to become good at dancing. They helped me to stay motivated. They support me throughout till I become better at dancing. Arthur Merry Dance studio is a pleased environment with friendly staff who are supportive and make all attempts for us to achieve our goals there. They also have Friday parties that are amazing programs in which you can dance and find life time friends in. They offer many activities including trips to nice places with dance showcases and dance competitions. A great dance instructor must inspire you to become better at dancing. You can only do so if you stay motivated. Your dance teacher must support you throughout until you succeed.

    My dancing journey at Arthur Murray North York since October 2018 has been a delight! 🎉 From the friendly instructors who make learning a breeze to the vibrant dance community, this studio is a gem. The beautiful studio space provides a cozy room to let loose and learn. With various ballroom, rhythm, club, and specialty dance styles, each lesson is a burst of fun and creativity. What I love most is the sense of community—they don't just sell dance lessons; they sell happiness. The staff and fellow dancers make every visit a joyous experience. If you're looking to dive into the world of ballroom dance, Arthur Murray North York is the place to be!

    When I joined Arthur Murray North York six months ago I had two left feet. Today, thanks to my instructors and the Arthur Murray teaching methods, I am proud to say that I have been receiving numerous compliments about my dancing and the tremendous progress I made in such a short time. Needless to say the experience has also given me a great deal of self confidence. I also made many friends of similar tastes and disposition. Joining Arthur Murray has been a life changing experience for me. I would like to say THANK YOU to all the staff and the instructors of Arthur Murray North York.

    I've been taking dance classes at Arthur Murray North York Studio for just over 2 years now, and it truly is my second home. It's such a lovely light filled studio.The whole atmosphere is very positive and welcoming. All the teachers and staff are so kind and supportive, that no matter what level of experience you have going in, you never feel put down or out of place. I have the pleasure of being taught by Dmytro and Paul, who are both extremely talented dance instructors and bring their strong passion for dance onto the floor. They call it Dance....I call it Life

    My husband and I don't know much about dancing. Jocelyn helped us first by determining the song and discussed our preference of the style of the choreography. Lessons are planned ahead based on our progress and discussed every time after the lesson. Jocelyn is very friendly and is open to ideas. She is very professional when it comes to teaching. We walk out each lesson never feeling lost, exhausted or wasted. The learning environment is very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. By the end of all lessons, we are competent about our performance will go well. (Sarah)

    AM North York is my happy place. Great instructors and terrific students. No matter how bad my day is, a trip to the studio is like a magic pill to happiness. A word of warning though, once you start, you really are addicted, but in such a good way!

    Arthur Murray North York is not only a place to learn to dance, it is a community. It is a place where you walk in the door and forget the outside world. I am so happy to be part of this beautiful family.

    Tried out their free sample lesson yesterday. Their service is highly personalized to your specific needs and you don’t have to bring a dance partner to all the practice parties. Your instructor will dance with you. Bri, Andrea, and Tony are amazing. I danced with Tony and he is so experienced. He showed me some tricks for dancing as a follower in International Standard Waltz. I went to their North York location. Pretty convenient and there is parking space. Easy to get a UBER. $399 for 4 private lessons with unlimited access to practice parties with no expiry date.

    Six years ago, I was someone who had the proverbial "two left feet": I couldn't move to music to save my life. But I had always wanted to learn how to dance in order to connect with the people around me. After learning some very basic steps at a New Year's Eve gala at a conference, the desire to learn more grew in me and I remembered that I lived near the Arthur Murray studio in North York. After some initial research into the company's history and reputation (100+ years in the business!), I signed up for the no obligation sample lesson with the view of coming for a couple of months to learn some basics and go on my way. Fast forward six years....I write this today as someone who learned some basics and got much, much more: - a hobby I am proud to share with other people - friendships and community with people of various backgrounds and ages - genuine relationships with high-caliber dance professionals - a home away from home In business and in life, I value long-term relationships, a culture of welcoming and inclusion (especially of newcomers), and a commitment to excellence. If you also value those things, I would highly recommend the team and program at Arthur Murray North York.
