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.

Want to make progress quickly
Feel more comfortable one-on-one instead of in groups

Need a class that conforms to your schedule

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.
