Arthur Murray Dance Studio (Raleigh, NC)

Contrary to what most people think, it's not expensive to take dance lessons. A one hour lesson for two people is about the same price as going to the movies, but the benefit of dancing is that your gaining some valuable social skill. We both love to dance but we don't know any dances, and I think we both wanted to learn how to do a nice waltz or the rumba for our first dance together. We finally settled on the West Coast Swing, mainly because our wedding song was rather upbeat. The instructors we had over the course of four months were great. They understood our goal was to look good, but not to win medals. They alo make it really fun for the dancers. We always looked forward to the dances, and we looked great for our first dance at the wedding.
