Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Toronto - North York

How and why would one continue or start learning ballroom dancing virtually online amid a universal pandemic?

I would like the opportunity to express my positive experience of my private online lessons at Arthur Murray North York, as well as highlight the significance of pursuing dance lessons regardless of how it is delivered. As a health care professional working in the midst of fear and uncertainty, it has become apparent to me that this pandemic has exemplified the necessity to focus on the health and wellness of our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Dancing provides the physical fitness, and a reminder that beauty, passion, and joy exists in the world and in our hearts if you chose to tap into it. In a crisis such as this, continuing dance lessons is even more essential than ever before because it places health and wellbeing as paramount.

During my online dance lesson I can still take the time to do something positive for myself in the comfort of my own home. I am a busy mother who appreciates efficient use of my time. The high quality of lessons from my teacher are of value to me because they provide an added challenge of not completely relying physically on your partner. For example, I am learning more technical exercises and figures that require me to get out of my comfort zone and truly learn the mechanics of the movement and holding my own body, which I believe will ultimately help me grow stronger in my dancing. Above all, what matters most is that I still get to dance, even if it is with my handsome broom in my living room!
Thank-you Arthur Murray for being there when dancing is needed the most!

Arthur Murray North York is a good place to learn ballroom dancing. Their professional and talented instructors ensure your dance plan matches your schedule.

AM North York is my happy place. Great instructors and terrific students. No matter how bad my day is, a trip to the studio is like a magic pill to happiness. A word of warning though, once you start, you really are addicted, but in such a good way!

Last year I was looking to do something new here in Toronto. And I found AMNY. I like to dance so why not try it as a student. Yes it costs money but they will work around your budget. Plus there are group classes and practice parties and some events where you can get together with other studios and dance the night away with no extra costs. The studio gets busy at times and yes, there are other classes going on at the same time. But that is the fun part of it. Learning to dance surrounded by people with same interest. And the positive energy is so strong, it just puts a smile to your face.

You only need to be committed to it and it will all be worth it.

And special thanks to all instructors. You are the best!

This is an absolutely amazing place to have fun and learn to dance! I have danced at this studio for a few years now, and I hope to be dancing there for many more years to come!
