| - Great dancing system, friendly and knowledgable staff and a tailored program. My husband and I had so much fun dancing together for the first time here!!
HOWEVER, from the moment you walk in, be prepared for the Hard Sell. I bought a 5-lesson intro pack for my husband, and although we loved the dancing, the really pushy salesmanship from the moment we walked in the door slightly tainted the experience for us.
We may very well continue dancing here, but the steep prices for a lesson package and pushy sales tactics are keeping us in the "thinking about it" category.
If you want to learn to dance, and money is absolutely no object, come here - you won't regret it! Otherwise, think carefully first.
Why 3 stars instead of 1 star??
1. The instruction really was tons of fun and the Arthur Murray system is a strategy that's quite organized, clear and effective.
2. At the end of our package, when we explained that we would have to take at least 6 months away from dancing due to prior commitments, our instructor didn't try to insist that we buy lessons immediately (not a time-share level of selling - think car dealership).
3. Friends of ours tried a different studio in the area for wedding dance lessons and had exactly the same experience - hard sell from the beginning, and exorbitant prices for lessons. Apparently, this is par for the course.
Another reviewer posted about a very similar experience. Sadly, I didn't see the post until after we went, or I would have felt far more prepared.
