Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Cambridge: what do users think?
Larisa Gorbatova: Absolutely best choice for those who is fond of dancing! Very professional team and amazing atmosphere! I moved to Cambridge last November, and was looking for a dance school, where I could try various dance styles. Arthur Murray Cambridge had a lot of information on its website, unlike some of the other studios I tried, and Christian, one of the co-owners, responded very quickly to my request. In a week I became a student, and now it's kind of a second home to me as well as to some of my fellow students. The guys are doing fantastic job, not only teaching you how to dance, but also inspiring you to find your own way of dancing through life❤️
Tiffany Wong: Arthur Murray Cambridge is truly a gem of a studio. The staff is so professional and friendly and they really strive to make each lesson effective.My husband and I went originally to choreograph and learn our wedding dance but we've continued taking lessons over a year later! It's a great activity to do as a couple and I love feeling more comfortable with moving my body. Our instructor Lance is the BEST!! He knows everything. There are lots of group lessons as well so you can learn outside of your personal lessons. Mady is so fun, Ruben has so much flair and Dave breaks down topics so well. It's also such a joy to see Natalie's radiant personality at the desk every time I'm there! :)
Olaf Christensen: What a great place to be!When I entered the Arthur Murray Cambridge studio for the very first time I was just planning to take a few private dance lessons in preparation for our anniversary party. Needless to say, I got hooked immediately and haven’t stop dancing since.The instructors are fun, amazing and talented; always trying to accommodate my dancing skills and needs. Under Christian’s and Kia’s lead, they make this studio a unique, artistic but relaxed, yet vibrant place. I think that’s what attracts most of the students and makes socializing easy. You just want to be part of the team.In the beginning I was terrified to put myself out there, to dance in front of other people or to participate at any of the ( absolutely fun!) studio events, but the instructors helped me to feel comfortable, and build up my dancing self esteem. Now I can’t wait to dance my next solo and participate in bigger events like the Dance-O-Rama.Kudos to Natalie who always welcomes me with a smile, but most of all to my wonderful teachers! Rubin, you not only made me fall in love with Lindy Hop, but you also opened me up to a whole new world of dance! Lance, you add a special spark to every dance!My only regret is that I didn’t discover the Arthur Murray Cambridge Dance studio earlier!Isabella
Sumaiya Iqbal: Arthur Murray Dance studio at Cambridge is my happy place :)Starting to dance there was a part of my exploratory actions to find an activity and a place to be carefree, smile, perform, express myself, ... and love myself! And I found all of that in Arthur Murray Dance studio!My trainers, Rubin and Dave, are passionate, funny, caring, and above all, great dancers! But all the other staff are warm and welcoming. I highly, highly recommend Arthur Murray Dance studio at Cambridge!
Caroline Kerr: We started out taking lessons here for our wedding and stayed because it was a super fun community. The staff is all amazing and welcoming and it's a great place to learn to dance. They have social dance parties to practice your skills as well too!
Charlotte Slate: We had dance lessons before our wedding with Melissa and we can’t say enough about her. Melissa was so engaged, fun, PATIENT, and welcoming. She truly made us enjoy the whole process and helped us create the perfect and most fun dance for our wedding. Highly recommend taking lessons here!!
Anjanay Kumar: I've deeply enjoyed my time at Arthur Murray. The lessons are fantastic, but the larger offering of group, social variety, and skill classes are the real value proposition the studio offers. I went from being uncomfortable with partner dancing to able to hold my own in completely foreign dances based on my experiences over the course of 2 months at Arthur Murray, and I'm looking forward to the next two months and more.
Aimee Browne: I have had a wonderful experience at Arthur Murray of Cambridge. The community of dancers and teachers here are so kind and welcoming, it is a fan, relaxing and inspiring environment. The teachers listen to what you hope to achieve and tailor lessons to you specifically and work at a pace that is appropriate for you. I would highly recommend this studio if you're looking to learn!
Mia Tong: Arthur Murray looks nice from the outside but beware of constantly changing instructors and noisy surroundings. I got message reminders prior to lessons but an instructor contacted me via phone call to reschedule me and left a voicemail without confirming the new time. Then when I showed he waited ten minutes and feigned ignorance before letting me know that he left a message. It was a waste of my time as a customer and unprofessional behavior. The worst is that it was clear that it was prompted by a time that there was some tardiness on our side but to retaliate against the customer/client is not professional behavior and is rather rude and disrespectful. Overall it gave the sense of being uncoordinated because I was sent a message via IM which the instructor denied any knowledge of but was told in under 24 hrs via a voicemail of a different time and then told that the time that was confirmed via IM couldn't have possibly been scheduled, thus making it appear that it was my misunderstanding. Then we were condescended for missing the voicemail. It was unpleasant and bizarre, and meant to place blame on the customer/client.
Amanda Galeno: I had the most magical experience at this studio on a Friday night. I had been at the restaurant next door for what was supposed to be a first date...The gentleman did not show up. As I returned to my car a bit bummed and embarrassed, I looked up and saw the Arthur Murray studio.Inside were stunning chandeliers and people dancing beautifully. I decided to go in and check it out. I'm so glad I did. I was greeted by a welcoming, diverse, and extremely talented staff. When I explained what had happened they were able to create a lesson for me and I was on the dance floor smiling and twirling within 10 minutes. It was the perfect balance of fun and technique. They turned what could have been a depressing evening into a night of pure joy. I will definitely be returning to this studio.
Jane Smith: The first time I went I almost left because I was so nervous but I am very happy that I stayed. I was first greeted by Kat who is super nice. She introduced me to Christian who sat with me and asked me about why I was interested in dancing and explained my first lesson and then he introduced me to my instructor Tom. I have been going for a few weeks and now work with Lance. I didn’t think I would like having two instructors but I do like the different variety of teaching. When I am dancing I feel like a different person. I never thought I would be comfortable enough to stick with it. Everyone there is so patient and encouraging. I am so happy that I didn’t turn and leave and can’t wait to learn more!
Ada F.: Fun time with friendly and supportive everyone.
Raina Searles: Love taking dance classes here with my husband! We’ve been able to learn all the basics of dance and start advancing our skills.
Rachel Carron: I loved taking dance lessons here! Mac was a great and attentive dance teacher and kept things light and fun. We will be back for more lessons and social classes! The studio is awesome and attainable with offerings of free classes/events through Nift
Adam Kalai: Fun, friendly and skilled teachers. Helped me overcome my fear of dancing. Thanks!
Cambridge Ivy Inn: Outstanding and dedicated team of instructors that soon become your friends, leaders, and followers! All you need is the attitude - they supply the rest, the community, the joy of dancing, the muscle memory, and will babysit your lack of rhythm. It only takes a month to get out of the fog, to find your feet and hips. Price wise, I was skeptical at first - it is my nature, hahah. But if you take advantage of the many skills sessions offered for free, you will find it an amazing value. 6 stars !!! - Mark
Sam Naseef: We couldn't recommend Arthur Murray more highly!We wanted to prepare for our first wedding dance, and needed something to do while we were stuck inside over quarantine winter, so we turned to Arthur Murray and their virtual dance class offerings. Everyone we interacted with at Artur Murray was extremely talented, very helpful, and excited to help us in whatever way they could. We learned multiple dances that went along with our song, plus some other dances for quicker songs. The coaches also gave us a framework for the choreography so that we could have something to work from that made the dance look and feel great, and didn't require memorizing exactly what to do step by step for the entire song.It felt as though everyone at Arthur Murray was personally invested in making our first dance exactly what we wanted it to be.
Rose Iorillo: I've walked by this studio every day for the past couple of years, and finally had the chance to check it out after being gifted a couple of free lessons. I had SO MUCH FUN! My instructor was super outgoing and we laughed a lot, but he also was a very clear teacher. I have years of dance experience that for the most part was social dancing, so he really focused on the technique without making me feel overwhelmed.The lessons aren't cheap, and this is definitely a more professional focus as opposed to dancing casually, but as I mentioned, it's a lot of fun. Would recommend for someone interested in leveling up and/or showcasing a lot of different styles of dance.
An Phan: The studio is spacious, well kept, the air is clean with room filters, masks are mandated, hand sanitizers abound, attendance is limited to comply with Covid 19 regulations. The instructors Alex and Dan are highly qualified, energetic, friendly and flexible to students' schedule. I love coming to AM Dance studio in Cambridge for the energy of the place and the incredible learning experience from both individual instructions with extra added teachers and from useful group classes.
William Rowell: Great staff and studio
Kelly O'Connell: My husband and I have been going here for beginner dance lessons since shortly before the pandemic. Not only has this studio adapted to the COVID situation (temperature checks, gloves, hand sanitizer, limited occupancy, etc), but they have maintained a positive attitude and creative vibe throughout the whole thing. Every time we walk in, the staff knows our name and genuinely asks how we are doing. They really make us feel like family. That type of community keeps us coming back over and over. I highly recommend giving this place a try and learning something new!

Rumba Y Timbal Dance Company: what do users think?
Víctor CE: Awesome dance studio. I have been dancing bachata here for over a year now and I couldn’t be happier with my progress. Shout out to the great instructors!
Santiago Quintana: It's an amazing place with incredible coaches and a enjoyable vibe. Great for all levels.
Roda Haway: My wife and I were looking for a Dance studio so we can learn how to Dance Salsa and we were so happy we found Rumba Y Timbal Dance Company .We were welcomed to a great dance family and community . The instructors Roberto , Liliana and Carlos were so supportive and we new this was the place we felt at home . We fell in love with classes we were driving to Cambridge four times a week from the suburbs . Now how salsa and bachata is taken to a great level .We recommend this amazing Dance studio to anyone wanting to learn Salsa in an amazing environmentThank You Rumba Y Timbal Dance Company !!
Jose Figueroa: Positive:Professionalism
Perry Wasserbauer: Great teachers, great community of people. They have classes for Salsa and Bachata
Flor Orosz Hunziker: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThis is a great community of caring, excellent and dedicated professionals!
Pierre Jockers: One of the best salsa/bachata schools in the country. Very far above anything else in the Boston and Cambridge area (I have done them all).Great instructors, strong emphasis on technicals, presence of curriculum for every class, flexibility of schedule (classes twice a week) all make progression very fast. Most people who joined got a good level after ~6 months. Also good leader/follower ratio (~50/50 for pretty much all classes - not the case in many other schools, where there are traditionally more leaders, which means leaders learn much less). Also a great community - I feel I have always been treated as a student or a friend, never as a customer.
sushrut palatkar: I started learning salsa with them 2 years ago and have'nt stopped since. I used to dislike dancing before that.The instructors are helpful and the student community is amazing.
Hibran Martinez: Entré hace 2 años al nivel básico sin esperar gran avance de mi parte debido a que tenía 2 pies izquierdos pero Roberto, Liliana y todas las chicas del estudio me ayudaron a corregirlo, son excelentes maestros y mejores personas, además de que la comunidad salsera de Nueva Inglaterra es grandísima y todos buscamos divertirnos y pasarla bien, 100% recomendable
Edana Martin: It is great
Derek Clifford: This is a great studio. The hall is clean, well lit and has a great sound system. All the teachers are very good and are amazing dancers who inspire. There is a great atmosphere at Rumba Y Timbal!
Janice - Jaycee McCullough: Always wanted to learn Salsa and 6 months ago my son agreed to be my dance partner (yes, I bribed him), so we signed up with Rumba Y Timbal for the beginner class. We absolutely loved it. After just two months of lessons I was dancing at socials with confidence. Due to my son getting a new job and he had to stop, I lost a dance partner but no biggie for there is always someone to dance with at Rumba Y Timbal and the staff is awesome. If you're not getting a specific move they are there to practice with you after or before class. If you want to learn salsa and you want to feel confident in social settings Rumba Y Timbal is the place to be.
Mei-Chen Liao: I have done zumba for three years. I felt that the workout is good but always wanted to get more dance part. Then I started to join in Rumbatimbal for beginner classes. The main director-Roberto was so passionate and the other dancers are all very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere there is fun and happy. Later, I was eager to learn more sophisticated parts such as lady’s styling or lady’s choreography. Recently I just join the student performance team. I am so excited that I improve so much in short period of time and can’t wait to get on stage in the future.

Heartbeat Ballroom: what do users think?
D. Rashel: Amazing teacher!
Annie Mcclements: Masa, of Heartbeat Ballroom, is an amazingly patient and talented teacher. She choreographed my husband’s and my first dance for our wedding and did an outstanding job. Neither of us had any dance experienced but with Masa’s help we felt like rock stars on our wedding day. She created a beautiful dance that was challenging, but achievable for us and it blew our guests away. Masa took the time to get to know us, and what we wanted from our first dance. She helped us reach our dancing goals and gave us the ultimate gift of a unique and personal first dance that we will cherish forever. In addition, Masa rose to the challenge when two weeks before the wedding we asked her to also choreograph a father-daughter dance for my dad and me. She made another fun dance and helped us learn it on short notice. In short, Masa is amazing, if you are looking for a ballroom dance teacher look no further than Heartbeat Ballroom.
Paul DiGiammarino: I so enjoy Masa's outstanding teaching skills. She has an uncanny ability to explain things in a way that is very easy to understand and put into action. She takes a personal interest in her students and helping them grow. She also is very good at choreographing and teaching dance for weddings, as she did for me and my daughter. Masa's decades of international dance competition clearly helps her standout from the many other teachers out there. I strongly recommend Heartbeat Ballroom regardless of your dancing ability!
Nevena Dordevic: Masa is not only a sophisticated dancer, she is also a remarkable teacher. I was impressed to learn about her successful dancing career all over the world, and I decided to take lessons from her. The steps she taught me are engraved in my head. I am always the coolest one at the parties with my dancing moves :) Very professional but also engaging and fun class!

Bachata Room: what do users think?
Jen Earls: Bachata Room is truly an all-levels, friendly dance environment in which you can come out each week to dance with a group of energizing, kind people. Whether you're just learning and want to take the amazing intro Bachata lesson to improve your skills and confidence, or you're a more advanced dancer and want to enjoy dancing to great music with a variety of diverse, talented dancers, you can count on Bachata Room each week to bring good vibes!
Veronika: It was on the fire as usual. Awesome performances and great dancers
Thalia Batista: I love going out to Bachata Room in Cambridge. It's a great addition to the dance community here in Massachusetts. If you are looking for a dance lesson, meeting new dancers, awesome music selection by DJ Ninrod and great staff... then check out the bachata room! It's my favorite place to go on a Wednesday!
Shelby Elwell: I went to Bachata Room for the first time about a year ago and have been coming every Wednesday ever since! One of my absolute favorite events and run by some pretty incredible people. The vibes are always good, everyone is incredibly welcoming and it's great for those that are just learning and seasoned dancers. Highly recommend!
Welina Farah: Great place for some mid-week salsa and bachata!
Christine Bryant: Great music, super fun!
Monique Mitchell: A good place for mid-week bachata! One of my feel good spaces where I lose track of time dancing!
Shelby Summers: The best night out in Boston!
pfblatx2: Always a great time, I recommend checking out the lesson beforehand!
Roosevelt Segura: The midweek spot to be for the latin scene ! Great music and a friendly atmosphere to dance to🕺🏽💃🏽!
Samantha Boggiano: I always have fun at bachata room on Wednesday! A cute space and great music
Elisabeth Lister: Love the vibe and the dancers there.
L R: Maybe you should care about who’s the security. That guy believe that’s he’s gonna change the world being the most arrogant person that I’ve met here. I’m gonna spread the notice in the college to let everybody know that it’s not worthy to go where a security Latino thinks he’s better that everybody else
Juan Esteban Juancito Rodríguez: Me dá gusto ver los clientes disfrutar de la música que interpretamos, es un honor para mí.

Boston Swing Central: what do users think?
R M H: If you want to have fun and learn swing dancing this organization is absolutely insulting, rude, and dismissively elitist. Unwelcoming and unprofessional. Go anywhere else.
Harrison James (Htrom): So awesome! Great people that are super welcoming to newcomers. Thanks for hosting these events!
Sydney Cooney: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueGreatest swing dance place in Boston! Usually have live music, always an easy beginners lesson, and always lots of great people to dance with. Absolutely must check out!
Shannon Johnston: Ran into this group at NPS Naval Yard preparing for 8/10 celebration honoring those who kept the home fire burning. They are amazing teachers with care for all. Highly recommend.
King Car: Nice professional dancers
Andrew Selzer: Boston Swing Central is a great place whether you are an experienced swing dancer or taking lessons for the first time.For dancers who are new they have drop in lessons that are included with the cover charge that give you an introductory crash course on how to swing dance. In addition they have designed people with colored handkerchiefs called "Angels" and their job when the social dancing part of the evening starts is to dance with and be welcoming to new dancers.The majority of the time they have a live band every Friday, for the nights without a band they usually have qualified DJs who will spin fun tunes to dance with. Highly recommend you check this place out!
Kayla Dreyfuss: For someone newly joining the Boston Swing Dance community, BSC is an ideal place to start. This incredibly welcoming and friendly organization has gone out of their way to make Swing Dancing approachable for new people. Their "Angels" are experienced dancers who volunteer to dance with brand new folks for the first hour of the dance - no partner needed!The entry seems expensive at first glance - about $15 for the night. But when you realize that this includes an hour lesson, and about 4 hours of dancing to live music it doesn't seem so bad!The format of the lesson is extremely approachable - they start with the very basic of basics and within an hour you will work your way up from just finding the beat with your body to doing fancy turns! By the end of the night we had an arsenal of enough moves to last the whole night. Plus, you rotate partners throughout the lesson, so even if you didn't come with someone you still get to meet people to dance with for the rest of the night.Once the lesson is over, they turn down the big lights, and the room transforms into a sparkling dance hall filled with fantastic live music, and an evocative energy! It's hard not to dance!I can't recommend this welcoming scene highly enough.
Roya K: Well it was too crowded and it was hard to see what really goes on.I did not the way they teach too,I have been to other classes too which they have more trainer and they divide people according to their level for teaching the lessons!here it was a mix of old and young beginner and professional!rotating and changing the partner might be the rule of dance classes but it was overwhelmed for me and my husband,we really got tiered and we learned less than what we were hoping to.
Hsiu Chang: This dance studio is started by dancer for dancer. For the longest time swing dances were placed at bars in a church, which means it has to adjust to other's schedule. Furthermore, most dancers do not drink much, if you are jumping around all night you tend to drink water rather than alcohol. For that reason most swing dance do not bring enough revenue for the bar. If you are looking for a big open space to rent or dance to live band / DJ on a Friday night, this is the place.
