Me and my new wife had a very positive experience here at the studio. George help us both choreographed and practice our first dance for our wedding. He was helpful and patient and listened to then implemented our wants and needs of our dance. Ultimately you have to go home and practice! But they are great here at the studio and were both happy to have met and worked with them

We signed up for lessons a month before our wedding and Kelsey really helped us look natural on our wedding day. Lessons were really fun and I would recommend this studio and lessons with Kelsey to anyone.

Kelsey was so fantastic in getting us prepared for our big night. Coming from someone with 2 left feet she made things fun, easy and was so polite and understanding (we weren’t the easiest). if you’re looking for dance lessons for your first dance Kelsey and Arthur Murray in Chatham is the way to go. I’d give 10 stars if I could.

Kelsey is an incredible dance instructor. My husband and I went to Arthur Murray to get help with our first dance for our wedding. She helped us create a choreographed dance that started as a slow song and transitioned into salsa! She was patient and extremely helpful. She gave us tips we could use to practice at home. We impressed everyone at the wedding. We can’t wait to continue our classes !

They were so helpful with our first dance for our wedding. We were not the best dancers going in, but we learned quickly and had a great time doing so. It was fun, relaxed and made the whole process learning our dance easy.

Kelsey was a fantastic instructor. She choreographed a beautiful dance for our First Dance on our wedding night. She created a dance that was easy and fun to learn but looked flashy and elegant! She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dance instructor!

I have only great things to say about this dance studio! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warmth and professionalism. Everyone is smiling and it's a very happy place! The instructors are incredibly talented (and patient!). You can tell they are passionate about teaching their clients. A special shout out to Cloe, who teaches and manages the studio with so much dedication and care. Highly recommend!

Wonderful! My wife and I decided to do something fun and signed up for dance lessens at Arthur Murray. From the time we took our first step on the dance floor, Kelly — our instructor — made dancing fun. Our intimidation and uncertainty dissolved with Kelly‘s patient, clear, intuitive guidance. Talking turns being the “boy” or the “girl” Kelly worked with my wife and myself, gently guiding us through the steps, sounds and twirls. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Shortly after our last class we went to a wedding, where for the first time we felt truly comfortable dancing, and had the most fun ever. Overall, enrolling for dance lessons at Arthur Murray was a fruitful and well deserved investment in ourselves. We heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to dance, improve on their skills, or just have fun.

My fiancé and I came here for lessons for our first dance. From our very first consultation we felt so comfortable and excited. Kelly made every single lesson incredibly enjoyable, easy to follow, and truly memorable. She ensured that when we stepped onto the dance floor we were more than ready to perform. Because of this we really were able to be in the moment and soak up every second of our dance. Kelly you are amazing! Thank you so much for not only helping us learn such an epic choreography and teaching us how to deliver it so effortlessly, but also for giving us the chance to make such fun memories during our wedding planning. We really did look forward to our weekly lessons with you! I honestly could not recommend this experience enough.

My (now) wife and I signed up for dance lessons about 9 months before our wedding to learn some steps so our first dance wouldn’t consist of us swaying together like we were at a middle school dance.
Our instructor, Kelly, was amazing. She was patient and provided clear guidance which allowed us not only to learn some actual moves but, more importantly, feel comfortable and confident on our wedding day.
Everyone at the studio was super friendly and supportive and we came to really look forward to our lessons. Dare I say, taking the lessons together also helped our communication and understanding in the weeks leading up to our wedding day.

Dance lessons were our favorite part of wedding planning by far. Vlad was incredible, and my fiance and I are incredibly grateful to have been paired with him. We never felt overwhelmed; he choreographed our first dance and taught us simple basics to add to the moves we learned so we could use them throughout the rest of the night! We looked forward to each of our lessons during these stressful weeks leading up to our big day and considered them more like date nights. If you want to impress your friends and family or pick up a new hobby, they have you covered!

We went to Arthur Murray not knowing how to dance at all and needing to learn how to do a great 1st dance at our wedding. We had a great time at our lessons with our main instructor Kelly and Vlad our back up instructor. Kelly organized the sessions to meet our needs and focused on our strengths when putting our dance together. I loved that she paid attention to what worked for us and what didn’t. It was a great experience and our first dance at our wedding was a hit! Everyone commented on how our 1st dance set a great tone for the whole wedding celebration! I highly recommend taking dance lessons and working with Arthur Murray. Thanks!!!

My fiancé and I were stuck with our wedding dance and didn’t know what to do. We had a lesson with Vlad who immediately made up feel comfortable. We signed up for lessons right away after and it was one of the best decisions we made. Vlad taught us a great dance and he’s also extremely fun to work with. I would recommend to anyone in need, or just for a fun new activity as a couple. Vlad and the Arthur Murray team are excellent

We had such a great experience creating our first dance with arthur murray! From the very first lesson Vanda made us feel comfortable and confident. She has a great sense of humor and made us feel like old friends. Having never danced before, we were super nervous but that quickly went away when working with her. Our dance ended up being absolutely perfect. She made sure it was beautiful but not overly choreographed. Were so happy to have spent the few months leading up to our wedding with her and cant wait for more lessons as husband and wife!

We went to Arthur Murray dance studio to learn a choreographed first dance for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! The entire staff was so welcoming and made our experience unforgettable. Cloe, our dance instructor, was amazing to work with and she truly helped create a dance that was so special to us. She always made us feel comfortable and worked with us to incorporate steps we would feel confident using. Going to class and seeing Cloe was always the highlight of our week! I would recommend this dance studio to anyone looking to dance for a special occasion or just for fun. Thank you Cloe and the entire staff.. we will be back!

My son and I took lessons here with Vlad to prepare for the mother-son dance at my son's wedding. Vlad was so great to work with: he took our song and choreographed a perfect dance for us. He was upbeat and really instilled confidence in us. We had so much fun in the lessons, and on the dance floor at the wedding. I highly recommend this studio, and working with Vlad!

After completing 24 classes, my dancing skills have improved! My progress is not due to my natural talent - I was born with two left feet - but to the expertise of the instructors at this dance school, I worked with Vlad and Kelly. They are both patient, kind, and passionate about dancing. I did have a lot of fun during the entire process and I highly recommend this studio! Hugs, Muffy

The studio is well run by an energetic manager, Cloe. The instructors are top notch!
They are wonderful dancers and great teachers! There’s also a sense of community here. Fellow students support each other at showcases and competitions. Each week there also 3 practice parties with plenty of opportunities to mingle, practice your steps and enjoy good music and company.

My mom and I were lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Vlad as we practiced for our upcoming mother-son dance at my wedding. I truly cannot have imagined a better teacher to help us prepare for this exciting moment. We are both about as "beginner" as "beginner" gets and Vlad took the time to help us learn and understand not just how to dance, but how to piece it all together. He pushed us out of our comfort zone when we needed to be pushed and we were both truly sad when our last lesson came to a close. Thank you to the entire Arthur Murray staff, but especially to Vlad, for everything that you did to prepare us for this important day. He made our lessons fun, exciting, and was our #1 supporter when we performed in front of the class. I would recommend Vlad, and Arthur Murray, to anyone (regardless of skill level) who wants to learn a dance and build confidence on the dance floor.

I started at the studio as a complete beginner and a month and a half in, I feel great dancing. Thanks to my instructor Vlad and to everyone in the studio - staff and students - for creating such a welcoming space. The combination of individual lessons, group classes and practice parties provides the opportunity to learn the nuances and intricacies of the various ball room dance forms while also enjoying dancing socially. Thank you for a lovely experience this far, I'm so looking forward to more!

My husband and I started taking dance lessons when we became "empty nesters". We had no dance experience. The instructors at Arthur Murray are all terrific! They are great teachers and always made us feel comfortable. The combination of private lessons, practice parties, and group lessons are a great way to learn, and lots of fun! We are so glad that we are doing this. We highly recommend Arthur Murray Chatham.

My wife and I danced at Arthur Murray Chatham from 2013-2022 and enjoyed the lessons, group classes, practice parties, special events, and the camaraderie among students very much! During our time in Chatham, we worked with a number of instructors, all of whom were dedicated to helping us dance our best dance. We stopped dancing at the Chatham studio due to a move to southwest NJ and have continued our dancing at a studio near us. In addition to dancing skills, our experience with the Chatham studio gave us a love of Ballroom Dancing that keeps us interested and motivated to continue. If you’re looking to learn to dance, Arthur Murray Chatham is the place for you!

I joined Arthur Murray a few months ago and my experience so far has been incredible. The instructors are not only skilled and passionate about dance but also exceptionally kind and supportive. Their friendly approach and encouragement makes learning to dance a joy, and I especially love the practice parties. I highly recommend Arthur Murray for a positive and enjoyable dance journey.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience here. Vlad was a wonderful, enthusiastic teacher whose energy made us feel comfortable and excited to dance even after having a daunting day at work. He met both of us at our different skill levels and choreographed one of the most fun routines I've gotten to do, and got my partner to love dancing swing for the first time! My partner was so happy and comfortable on the dance floor by the time of our wedding. Thanks for making our wedding even more memorable. Would recommend this place in a heartbeat. The whole staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful from the first lesson to the last.

I started coming to Arthur Murray two years ago not only because I love to dance, but I was looking to do something different and meet new people, especially after being so isolated during Covid. I’ve gotten so much more out of Arthur Murray. The staff and professional instructors are all amazing and it doesn’t even matter if you have dance experience or not. I’ve made new friends and love coming together with them just laughing having fun and dancing. I would encourage anyone to give this studio a try. You will not be disappointed.

What a wonderful experience this has been! Our talented instructors gave us confidence and dance moves we can use virtually anytime and anywhere. We’ve danced at parties, backyard barbecues, holidays, weddings and piazzas. My husband and I literally started from scratch with a box step and gained experience in a number of dances. We’re not perfect but we love to dance and this has made it so much more fun!! The practice parties and group lessons are a great way to get tips and keep tuned up. Chloe and Kelsey (and all the instructors) we had the best time and are sure to be back for more!

My husband and I have been at Arthur Murray Studio in Chatham NJ since June 2014, it's now Sept. We went initially because my daughter was getting married and we wanted to look ok dancing on that day. My daughter also took lessons with Arthur Murray, but in Maryland-So much more to the story, but
I will say, emphatically, that the Chatham Arthur Murray Studio is outstanding, it's welcoming and fun and like a family. We've met new people, learned much more, joined for further lessons even after the wedding, and I even did a ShowCase in
August.
I LOVE IT. GO THERE if you want an outstanding and excellent experienece.
