This is an amazing place to learn to dance! Everyone is so nice. The staff really takes the time to get to know you and your goals to craft the best program for you! Excellent work everyone!

I wanted to do something special for my partner and decided to look into Ballroom Dancing. She has a lot of experience, but I only knew what we had learned together in Drama and Gym class many, many moons ago. When I looked up 'Ballroom Dancing Victoria' on Google, the only name I recognized was Arthur Murray Victoria. I had heard of them before and sent an email inquiry. I heard back from Daniel almost immediately and knew that was a good sign. We went in for a introductory lesson and had so much fun, and learned so much in a short time, we were hooked! We've since signed up for private lessons to start working on our Bronze level and we are having a great time at every one. Both Daniel and Wanda have been fantastic teachers, and lucky me, having a fantastic partner, we've managed to learn the basics for seven dances already! We recently participated in our first Medal Ball and had a lot of fun while we showed off what we had learned for the judges and the other dancers there. Even with the social distancing, masks, and gloves, we also met several people and were able to have a few laughs across the 2 metres between us. It has been a fantastic experience so far, we are getting exercise, finding our rhythm, learning new things, meeting people, and making new friends, I would highly recommend Arthur Murray Victoria to anyone who wants to have fun and learn to dance!

Daniel is awesome! We found this dance studio just before we left town, and Daniel was able to accommodate us for 4 lessons before we moved away. He was very kind and it is very evident he cares immensely about bringing the joy of dance to others. Would definitely recommend!

I started dancing with the Arthur Murray Dance studio 5 months ago and have never looked back! Their staff are incredibly talented, professional and fun. I feel I have found my confidence in this studio and would recommend them all to my friends and family. They are a community I am proud to be apart of.

Amazing experience. We started with just a Christmas gift package and decided to continue weekly! This is our date night! The teachers are amazing! We are learning to dance together and having so much fun! Great exercise! Great couple connection!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the personable and professional staff and experiences offered by Arthur Murray Victoria. We've been dancing at Arthur Murray a little under a year and love every minute of our time in the studio. Our instructors make learning the dances so much fun and it makes an excellent date night activity. If you're thinking about trying out ballroom dance, this is the place to go.

My lifelong dream was to learn how to Waltz. I wanted to look natural and elegant. I am so happy the new Arthur Murray Dance Studio moved into my neighborhood. It was a sign and I jumped at the opportunity. All the Teachers are excellent and the Arthur Murray method breaks everything down to make it easier to learn. When I walk into the studio it lifts my heart and brings out the better me. I have lost weight and gained fitness. The only exercise program I don't talk myself out of. I am now learning many more dances and through out this Covid madness, Daniel has worked his butt off to keep us all engaged. Having fun with Zoom classes and fun contests with great prizes. I couldn't be more happier

Dancing with Arthur Murray has become our weekly date night! It always leaves us in a great mood and is a highlight of our week!

We signed up with Arthur Murray back in April, but due to the pandemic couldn't start our lessons until July. We had Carlos as our dance instructor and wow! Not only did he custom make our dance routine for the first dance for our wedding in August, but he checked in with us almost weekly while everything was shut down during lock down. He was incredibly attentive, and listened to every concern or question we had, which weren't many. Starting into this we had zero dance experience, and my husband had been recovering from an accident that injured his left shoulder and collar bone. Carlos made sure our physical limitations were unnoticed by our guests, and our dance was perfect for our wedding! These dance lessons were the most fun part of planning our wedding. We looked forward to every lesson, and will continue to keep this apart of our life in the future.

Absolutely fantastic experience!! Our instructor Julia was easy to learn from and the instruction was on point !

Ashley Andrews

We had the best experience imaginable here! We felt so comfortable and at home right away! Carlos is one of the best dance teachers ever! We both have previous dance experience and we both agree to this. He was so great with us and truly made us grow as a dance couple and as partners. He was really great at creating a dance that best suited our couple style and vision for our wedding. He really listens and takes the time to get to know the couple and what they want for their special day. He truly cares and is so passionate about what he does. We were so honored to have his work of art a part of our special day! And Renata gave the special lady's touch/perspective that made it that much more amazing! We could not be happier and we can not recommend this place enough! They are just so great! We can not give our thanks enough! All our love and appreciation: Ash & Matt ????☺️????

A HUGE thank you to Carlos & Irene from Arthur Murray Hamilton. The songs we had chosen for our wedding's grand entrance and first dance was really special to us and we wanted to ensure our dance matched that. Irene and Carlos put together an amazing routine and taught us the choreography. We had zero dance experience coming into this, but they were so patient and helpful. Our wedding was affected by the covid pandemic, and unfortunately that meant our dance classes too, but Carlos did what he could to continue our lessons through ZOOM. It wasn't easy but it worked! We got lucky and were able to finish off our lessons in the studio just in time for our wedding day. We can't wait to share the final wedding video of our dance! Highly recommend to all couples who want to try something new! Dance classes were fun and a unique way to spend time learning something together. ~ Naomi Pinot & Posh Events Photo Credit: Merlot Studios

This place is fantastic. I am not a dancer and was quite apprehensive about the whole thing, but I want to be able to dance at my wedding. Daniel took the time to sit with us, figure out what our goals were, and made us both feel comfortable. I ended having a great time and am now looking forward to our next lesson.

Dancing at this studio has recreated date night and built up my self awareness. It helped me find a new passion, a new hobby and a great outlet for stress. My partner and I look forward to our weekly lessons and always leave with a smile on our face. I would highly recommend anybody to take up ballroom dancing with Daniel at the Victoria Arthur Murray Studio.

Joanne Taylor

Fabulous location in Victoria and extraordinary instructor. Wanda and Daniel have been fantastic to work with and although it has been a long time coming, one of my dreams have happened. My husband is dancing with me!! Love this and love the vibes and the energy with Arthur Murray Victoria!! Wanda you are truly a Godsend!!

Sarah Fancourt

I’ve had nothing short of a positive experience with this studio. Daniel and his staff are super friendly and you can tell they actually care about their students! I’m looking forward to future lessons at this studio ????

Matthew Hlobilek

I think the best part about this studio is how personalized the instruction and care you are given. I have a very hectic lifestyle and Daniel and his group of instructors are always accommodating and understanding. It is a delight to go to classes where everyone feels so welcome, friendly, and comfortable; which is so important when you might be new to dance and understandably nervous.

Aidan McKenna

Daniel is amazing! In four short classes (which we got to fit into our schedule!) he was able to take me from a complete beginner to a capable of swinging around the dance floor! You're thinking about taking up any type of dance you've got to hit Daniel up, you won't regret it!

B Morris

We took classes here to get ready for our first dance. Carlos choreographed a whole dance for us from scratch that fit our skills perfectly (he didn't have a lot to work with in that department!). His charm and humour made us felt as ease, which is very helpful when trying something new. Thanks to Carlos for making us feel confident and ready for our big day!

Learning to dance from the staff at Arthur Murray has been so much fun. I never thought i would enjoy dancing as much as I do.

Barb McLaren

Learning to dance at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio has been a wonderful experience for me. Daniel and his staff are excellent instructors and I have had the pleasure of dancing with all of them. If you want to dance but have been unable to because you don't have a dancing partner, this is the place for you. No Partner - No Problem. I appreciate the flexibility available in scheduling lessons. The studio is bright, tastefully decorated and is centrally located with ample parking. There is a welcoming and fun atmosphere at the studio. I highly recommend this studio. Barbara McLaren I am continuing to enjoy dancing at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio. The teachers are very experienced and pass their joy and enthusiasm of dancing on to you. There are always fun events to look forward to as well Sincerely

Caeleigh Ryalls

I definitely recommend this studio to anyone interested in learning ballroom and latin dance! Having danced before I wanted to learn new dance styles and I really appreciated the individual approach they take to every student's experience at the studio. The teachers are all very polite and professional and the studio has a welcoming atmosphere. You can tell everyone cares about the work they are doing. Great job!

Renata Biernat

They never called me back
