Karla Everman: Our dance instructor was fantastic! You can be a complete beginner or an advanced dancer wanting to practice and you'll enjoy. I highly recommend trying it out!

menillo verbo: I want to say this place is like an oasis in the desert. Coming to KC from South Cali for work, I didn't know what kind of salsa culture I would find. I was pleasantly surprised to find Josh Bravo Hernandez Viva Studio and the level of dance the people of Viva have. The instructors are top notch, the way the classes are given is genius and accomidates all levels, the culture is inviting and the people are nice and friendly. Definitely a must see for any salsero or bachatero who is visiting the area of KC. And for those that want to learn this is the place to go. I'm glad i found this place. Thank you Josh for bringing true salsa culture to KC. Tienen tumbao y mucho savor.

Lizzie Deckert: Kaitlyn was so warm and constructive! She really helped us gain the confidence and know how needed for our first dance for our wedding day!!

Leland Burch: What a wonderful atmosphere! Great instructors and a great idea for a date night. Can't tell you how happy we are to have found this place! If there were 10 stars to give I'd give it! We had a blast!

Mark Morash: I began in January 2021, with the 6 introductory classes. After the introductory classes, you're in the Bronze I class. Each week you have the option of a private lesson, a group lesson and on Fridays, there's a practice session where all levels meet and you can practice what you've learned.This wasn't in my skill set. The instructors are ridiculously patient as well as attractive. The patience was and still is, needed and appreciated.What have I learned so far? The basics and beyond for many of the following dances: 1. Foxtrot; 2. Tango; 3. Waltz; 4. Rumba; 5. Cha Cha; 6. Tripple Time Swing; 7. Single Time Swing (Jitterbug); 8. West Coast swing; 9. Bachata; 10. Salsa; 11. Merengue; 12. Samba; 13. Two step; 14. Nightclub two step; 15. Hustle; 16. Syncopated Hustle; and 17. the Polka!I've learned dancing terms and how to do them. Most importantly, I've learned that as you progress, the learning gets easier. They actually tell you this in the beginning. For me, it was very, extremely, difficult starting with only a bit of desire. Now, it's only very difficult to learn new dances and/or techniques with flourishes.Your results will vary, but that's ok, because they're marvelously flexible and patient. Schedule what you want and they'll make it happen.I've been out dancing and been told, "You know how to dance," by strangers, which is funny, because I know more than those who don't dance, but compared to those who do, there is so much to learn.

Sherri Meadows: All of the teachers at Arthur Murrays are awesome but Aaron is doing an amazing job at teaching me the steps and helping me to remember them. He makes my classes a lot of fun! Way to go Aaron! Hi Lauren, Monica, Darin! 😊 5 Stars all the way!!

Dean Mauldin: My initial lesson was a success. They made me feel comfortable and I learned a little bit. I enjoyed myself and recommended two others.

Megan Inwood: My fiancé and I needed some dance lessons to make us (me) feel more comfortable for our wedding night since I have two left feet. The staff could not have been nicer and more patient throughout our 6 lessons. We worked with Renee the most and she is an absolute delight!! We feel so much better about standing up and dancing in front of all our friends and family now. We will definitely be back for more dancing fun!

Jessica Campbell: Fun. The staff is super friendly. This is so much fun. We look forward to our dance date night every week. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Kelley Grammer: We love it! They are so good and extremely patient with our teenage son. He is learning quickly and we owe it to their amazing tea hing abilities!

Chris Hans: Great evening of learning Cha Cha, Swing, Hustle, Samba, and meeting friends!

Sydney Herring: We had Lauren as our instructor and she was WONDERFUL. The only dance moves my husband and I had were finger guns and hip swaying. We wanted a special first dance for our wedding, not just your typical sway back and forth. Lauren was so patient and understanding and even defused a few tiffs between us when we got a move wrong ;) She taught my husband how to lead, she taught me how to let him(boy was that hard!). We left every lesson feeling more confident than the last. Come wedding day, we were so ready and from the crowds cheers, pretty sure we crushed it. It was such a special moment for us as husband and wife. We will cherish that moment forever. Thank you Lauren and thank you Arthur Murray!!

Kathleen Coon: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityMy husband and I went in for lessons for our first dance at our wedding and Rachel choreographed a beautiful dance. She was so patient with us and was able to adjust when she could see that we needed less stress. My father and I also went for lessons for the father daughter dance and it looked great!

Dave G: My wife and I took private lessons here to learn a specific dance for our "first dance" at our wedding! These people are kind, classy and very professional. I would recommend everyone learn how to dance and learn it here if you can!

Candy Murray: Rachel is so sweet and patient. Excellent at explaining moves, and why we are doing certain moves each way. We love her.

Fleda Sutherland: We love it! Great atmosphere!

Brenna Goodness: LOVED our experience at Arthur Murray Dance Studio! My fiancé and I wanted to learn something for our first dance at our wedding. We were extremely timid about what to do and where to go. After my first interaction with our instructor I knew that she had our best interest in mind! She was able to choreograph a dance that was great for us! Not too technical, but was not the old “high school sway” that we wanted to avoid. Each visit we were greeted with smiles from all of the staff! Would highly recommend and go there again in a heartbeat!

Zachary Hilton: The staff is always very friendly and they really make an effort to get to know you. They do an excellent job of building your dancing toolbox piece by piece and go at the pace you need to be comfortable and have fun.

Jasmin Crowder: Positive:QualityRachel is an amazing teacher! My fiance and I enjoy each lesson getting to see her vision for our beautiful first dance come together! She is so upbeat and I've never had a better dance teacher! The whole crew at Arthur Murray is supportive and willing to make your dreams happen!

Jarrett Lowe: Positive:Communication,QualityThe staff at the dance studio are very skilled and personalize lessons to fit your needs and goals. Group and private lessons are always a good time and challenging with the addition of new moves and techniques.

Caleb Sisk: Positive:Professionalism,QualityAmazing!!! Everyone at Arthur Murray is extremely professional, helpful and patient. My fiancee and I are taking lessons in preparation for our wedding and Rachel has put together a personalized choreography and lesson plan that has us feeling 1000% more confident.

Cindy Bray: What began as a "I want to look good dancing at step-daughter's wedding" has turned into a life changing journey and discovering the love of dance. Signed up nearly a year ago and continuing to learn and grow. The entire staff at Arthur Murray is warm, welcoming, and instruction is provided without judgment. I - for one - plan to continue down this path and make dancing a part of my lifestyle. SOOOO much fun!
