Arthur Murray Dance Center

This is the Connecticut group of Arthur Murray Dance Centers, franchised studios teaching ballroom and social dance to adults of all ages. The site emphasises that no partner and no previous experience are needed, and that students can begin with an introductory lesson before continuing through individual lessons, group classes and regular practice parties. Instruction follows the Arthur Murray teaching method, which the studios describe as developed over a legacy of more than 100 years. Styles taught include waltz, rumba, cha-cha, swing, salsa and tango among many others. Wedding programs are a significant part of the business, covering the couple's first dance as well as lessons for the wedding party and family. The centers also sell gift certificates, publish a blog covering studio events, dance advice and students of the month, and have offered virtual private lessons and group classes at some Connecticut locations.
