Learn to Dance, Love the Journey at Gainesville’s Premier Dance Studio

My husband and I have had a wonderful experience with the Gainesville and Ocala Arthur Murray Dance Studios! We first came for our wedding dance, which was very important to us, and we were so impressed that we decided to continue lessons even after the wedding. Every instructor we've worked with has been kind, clear, and engaging. They make each session fun, meaningful, and worthwhile. We highly recommend Arthur Murray to anyone looking to learn and enjoy dancing!"

My wife and I took our first dance lesson for our 10yr wedding anniversary. 5 private lessons, 9 group classes, and 2 parties later. Yup. It's fun.
1. Seriously, no judgment. I have zero rhythm, and I never dance or listen to music. They still taught me without making me feel like a total klutz.
2. It's fun! I never danced before, and my wife and I are loving it.
3. Easy to get to, with plenty of parking.
4. The instructors are awesome. They all have different styles, so you'll find someone who clicks with you. I love all of them, even if I have a favorite I won't name.
5. Private lessons are where you get one-on-one time with an instructor for 45 minutes and learn new stuff.
6. Group lessons are free with private lessons and are super fun. You practice what you learned, meet people, and reinforce everything.
7. They throw parties every month, open to everyone. Come check it out, even if you can't dance or don't have a partner. I've been to two, and they're a blast.
8. If you're still not sure, go anyway. The first introduction class is free. So there's no reason not to try.

We took 10 classes to prepare for our wedding and feel like pros after! Tatiana was our main instructor and she was incredible. We also worked with Andrew, Aubrey, and Nick and they were awesome too. We just finished our lessons and immediately signed up for more! Their social events are also a blast. If you want to learn and have a good time, come to Arthur Murray Gainesville!"

My fiancé and I had the absolute pleasure of taking dance lessons at this studio in preparation for our wedding, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process.
From the very first lesson, Tatiana made us feel completely at ease. Her warmth, patience, and incredible eye for detail turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something we looked forward to every week. She truly has a gift for teaching—guiding us through every step (literally!) with professionalism and kindness. She tailored each session to our skill level, helped us pick the perfect choreography for our song, and even gave us the confidence to really own the dance floor.
We also had the chance to work with Andrew, Nick, and Aubrey throughout our time there, and each of them brought their own unique style and energy. Andrew was especially great with technique, Nick had us laughing through some of the more challenging footwork, and Aubrey's encouragement always left us feeling motivated and inspired. It felt like we were part of a little dance family by the end.
Our first dance turned out to be one of the most memorable moments of our wedding—graceful, romantic, and totally us. We owe so much of that to the incredible team at this studio. If you're considering lessons—whether for your wedding or just for fun—don't think twice. You're in the best hands here!
