Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.
How much are dance classes?
Kids group dance lessons cost $60 to $200 per month, or $40 per week on average. Private dance lessons for adults cost $50 to $85 per hour, depending on the location, dance type, number of lessons, and session length.
Most dance classes are casual and focus more on comfort and form than style. What you wear to a dance class depends on the dance type:
Ballet and jazz require form-fitting clothes so your form and posture is visible.
Wear loose, comfortable clothes and shoes to contemporary or street classes.
Wear fitness or leisure clothes and tap shoes to tap dance lessons.
Wear casual clothes, smooth-soled shoes, or dresses to ballroom, tango, or salsa classes.
Are private dance lessons worth it?
Private dance lessons are an excellent way to gain new skills in a low-stakes environment, but they may not be for everybody. Private lessons are worth it if you:
Value privacy
Want to make progress quickly
Feel more comfortable one-on-one instead of in groups
Want direct feedback on technique
Need a class that conforms to your schedule
How long are dance classes?
Most dance classes last 30 to 90 minutes and meet 1 to 5 times per week, depending on the dance type and age range. Dance classes for children tend to meet more often for shorter sessions because children tend to benefit more from frequent, consistent lessons. Casual adult lessons tend to meet fewer times per week but are usually longer.

I’ve been a student at Arthur Murray for just under 2 months and I already know the basic step and some more complex moves in at least 8 different dances including: salsa, bachata, tango, waltz and foxtrot.
I’ve been to 2 other dance schools in the past few years and AM Coral Gables blows them away 100 times over.
To say the staff at AMCG is great would be a huge understatement. Their teaching methods are part of a renowned curriculum that gets proven results for any student regardless of their dance knowledge and comfort on the dance floor. And above all else, the instructors are excellent teachers.
Whether preparing for a special event (wedding, party, etc.) or just to improve your dancing skills, there is no better place than Arthur Murray Coral Gables.

I loved my lesson with Stefan. I wanted to learn to dance salsa and cha cha and all the other dances for so long and I am so happy to finally do it. Stefan was great, I had so much fun at the lesson and he actually made it look so easy, the time went by so fast and so entertaining. I am so grateful to have met him and can't wait to dance with him again. Stefan is such a professional and experienced teacher, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody, at whatever level or age you are. It is never too early or late to dance!
