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.
