I came to the Merrillville Center at the request of my significant other to learn to dance for the upcoming weddings of five grandchildren and nieces. I had never attempted anything like this but was willing to try it to please her. I was 70 years old at the time but was willing to see if an old dog could indeed learn some new tricks. The staff at the Merrillville Center are warm, genuine people who are incredibly talented and most of all know how to teach ballroom dancing. It is one of the most interesting, challenging and fun undertakings I’ve ever been part of while also being great exercise. Judy and I are planning to be involved with dancing and the Merrillville Studio for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our skills in such dances as the waltz, foxtrot, cha-cha, merengue, hustle and rumba. As I said the Arthur Murray staff have each become like family to us and we look forward to being a part of this family for years to come.

The instructors are very personable and very patient. They explain in detail the dance movements and flow along with the musicality that is so important to understanding dance. And work with you until you understand and are able to perform the dance. I love going to the studio; to me they are family.

Alisa is the best yoga instructor I’ve ever taken a class with. She brings a ton of positivity and excitement into the practice. She always has suggestions on how to do a pose that works for you, I am not the most flexible but she always found a way to help make things work. After every class I would walk away in a state of zen with a huge smile on my face. Alisa has so much to offer as she truly cares about all of her students and helping them achieve their goals both physically and spiritually. I can honestly say she makes showing up to do yoga everyday very enjoyable. If you have the chance to take a class with her I highly recommend you do as I guarantee she will quickly become your favorite go to instructor. An abundance of smiles, laughs, spiritual growth, and increased flexibility await =]
