Where Every Step Brings You Closer to Joy
Dance Lessons in San Rafael are just the beginning. At Arthur Murray, each private lesson is tailored to your goals and pace. You’ll learn to lead, follow, and adapt to different music styles — from Waltz and Tango to Swing, Salsa, and beyond. Our instructors combine patience, professionalism, and great playlists to make learning easy and fun.
In addition to one-on-one lessons, you’ll gain access to group classes and studio practice parties. These sessions help you build rhythm, coordination, and social confidence — all in a supportive environment where everyone is cheering you on.
Dancing has benefits that go far beyond the studio. It improves posture, balance, and mental clarity. It’s a stress reliever and a creative outlet. And it’s one of the best shared activities couples can enjoy — whether you’ve been together three months or 30 years.
Arthur Murray returned to San Rafael in 2018 after the original location closed in the early 80s. Today, we’re proud to carry on that legacy, helping students feel more alive, connected, and confident through dance.
