125
126        I have learned over 20 different dances… & I am having so much fun! The individual & smaller group classes allow for techniques & posture to be mentored and perfected.
127
128        I came with no experience, honestly my body was frozen in fear. I slowly started to loosen up, flow with music & twirl around with the beautiful people in this community💃🏻
129
130        I had no idea how much I needed dancing in my life… this positive energy infusing my every cell.  My mental, physical & spiritual life is improving with every dance.
131
132        Thank You Arthur Murray! You have changed my life in so many precious ways🙏😇🌈",

God lead us to this place and what an awesome time we had. Our instructor was Ahkesh ( I maybe spelling it wrong). He was not only knowledgeable but he made it easy to understand and fun! He had such a great personality and very professional. Everyone there was very friendly and made you feel welcomed. We went from not knowing anything about salsa techniques to being almost experts. What a great time we had! And will always be memorable. If you ever in Napa and want to learn a certain dance whether it be salsa or ballroom dancing and many others visit them. I guarantee you will turn from 2 left feet to a great dancer in a few minutes of there teachings.",

163        of the instructors are superb.

165        I was impressed with Sara, who informed me of all the exciting activities at the studio offering a myriad of dance styles techniques  Sara being knowledgeable professional friendly and personable made my welcome at ease being new to the Napa area.
166
167        I had noticed that the staff are in great physical shape from their trade of dancing does amazing definition on one’s body.   What I liked the best is the variety of courses one can take building confidence to entertain others with competent moves on the dance floor.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone who wants to maintain their overall health spiritually uplifting, fun mingling with others, making lifelong friends here.  Heck I’m ready for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ that is how confident I feel.
168
169        Everyone here are like one big family.  Thank You for having an Arthur Murray dance studio that certainly meets my needs.  I’m amazed how great figured the gals are here.  Sara has been accomadating unpretentious and exudes a genuine bubbly personality that is a rarity in today’s world..",

197            Having a planned dance is the easiest way to make your wedding
198            special. How many weddings have you been to where everyone
199            awkwardly stares at the lovely couple swaying back and forth
200            for 4 minutes? Taking wedding dance lessons gives you the
201            opportunity to create a special moment at your reception that
202            you’ll remember forever.
203          </p>
204          <p>
205            Not only will you learn a wedding dance, but you’ll actually
206            learn how to dance together. It truly is one of the best gifts
207            you can give each other on your special day. Instead of being
208            at the bar, you’ll be on the floor enjoying the countless
209            weddings you’ll attend in the future.

217          "@type": "Answer",
218          "text": "<p>
219            Generally, there are three ways couples choose to structure
220            their wedding dance:
221          </p>
222          <h3>Choreography</h3>
223          <p>
224            A set of planned steps. Choreography can be as simple or
225            flashy as you’d like. It’s a great way to take the stress off
226            of learning a dance when you know what comes next. Having
227            choreography can give you the repetition and muscle memory
228            much faster.
229          </p>
230          <h3>Lead and Follow:</h3>
231          <p>
232            An impromptu method where the leader gives signals of what
233            they want to do next and the follower responds. Lead and
234            follow is a great way to learn to social dance. You’ll learn
235            the different signals and won’t have to worry if you miss a
236            step in your routine. Keep in mind, it will require a little
237            more patience with your partner as you get comfortable with
238            communicating these signals.
239          </p>
240          <h3>Combination of Both:</h3>
241          <p>
242            A combination of both choreography and lead and follow means
243            that certain parts of the dance are specific steps and other
244            sections are impromptu lead and follow.
245          </p>
246          <p>
247            Your instructor will be able to recommend what is best for you
248            based on how you learn, your timeline, as well as the look and
249            feel you’d like for your dance.

259            After answering a few questions about your venue, dress, and
260            the look and feel you’d like to have, your instructor will
261            guide you through a few basics of dancing. You’ll already
262            start learning parts of your wedding dance on your very first
263            lesson and leave with a plan of action between now and the
264            wedding.

274            Absolutely not. If you haven’t decided a song, your instructor
275            will show you a few basic steps that go to any style of music.
276            The biggest hurdle in learning to dance for a wedding is
277            getting the basics down. Once you do decide on a song, they’ll
278            help you personalize it to the music.

288            We recommend a wedding dance should be around 1 min 30
289            seconds- 2 minutes (maximum). While that might seem short,
290            it’s actually quite a bit of time, and quite a bit of steps
291            and/or choreography to learn and remember. Even those fancy
292            routines on Dancing With the Stars typically last anywhere
293            from 1:15-1:40.

295          <p>
296            If you’re doing more than one song for your first dance, the

340            The sooner the better. Planning a wedding can be very
341            stressful and quite costly. Coming in early allows you to
342            enjoy learning to dance together without a tight deadline. It
343            gives you more time, in case you need it, and gives you plenty
344            of time to practice. Learning to dance together should be a
345            fun part of getting married.

356            Your instructor will make individual recommendations based on
357            the complexity of your dance, how quickly you learn, and your
358            timeline. But, the most important thing to remember is that
359            consistency is key. Learning to dance is a skill, and with any
360            skill, it takes small amounts of consistent repetition.
361          </p>
362          <p>
363            While some couples do wedding bootcamps, most couples come in
364            once or twice a week for private wedding dance lessons leading
365            up to their wedding.

375            That completely depends on you! The more complex a dance, the
376            more time it takes to learn. If you want something simple, it
377            might only take a handful of lessons. If you want something a
378            little flashy, that takes a little longer. Lastly, if you want
379            a full-on YouTube sensation, that can take several months up
380            to a year.

383            It all depends on how fast you learn, how consistent you are
384            with your private lessons, and the complexity of your dance.
385            Our instructors are great at recommending a plan on your very
386            first lesson.

402            For the first couple of lessons, we recommend wearing the
403            shoes you are most comfortable in. That way, you can focus
404            solely on getting the steps down and not worried about getting
405            them dirty. As it gets closer to the wedding, you'll
406            definitely want to bring your wedding shoes to practice in.
407            You'll be 100% comfortable on the big day and have no unwanted
408            surprises.

418            Choosing a song for your first dance is entirely personal.
419            There is no right or wrong way.
420          </p>
421          <p>
422            Questions to ask yourself when choosing a song: Was there a
423            song that you first danced to as a couple? Is there a special
424            memory that you had together featuring a special song or a
425            song that reminds you of that time? Is there a song that’s
426            lyrics are everything you want to say to your future spouse?
427          </p>
428          <p>
429            While there are trending wedding songs from year to year, the
430            biggest question to ask yourself is “Do I like it?” Your first
431            dance together is something you’ll always remember. Make it to
432            something you love!

1318              The closer you get to the wedding, the more hectic the schedule
1319              becomes. Starting your wedding dance lessons several months in
1320              advance allows you plenty of time to learn your dance without the
1321              stress of a tight deadline. It also gives you more time, in case
1322              you need it.

1325              If your wedding is right around the corner, don't worry, it’s

1510                  Having a planned dance is the easiest way to make your wedding
1511                  special. How many weddings have you been to where everyone
1512                  awkwardly stares at the lovely couple swaying back and forth
1513                  for 4 minutes? Taking wedding dance lessons gives you the
1514                  opportunity to create a special moment at your reception that
1515                  you’ll remember forever.
1516                </p>
1517                <p>
1518                  Not only will you learn a wedding dance, but you’ll actually
1519                  learn how to dance together. It truly is one of the best gifts
1520                  you can give each other on your special day. Instead of being
1521                  at the bar, you’ll be on the floor enjoying the countless
1522                  weddings you’ll attend in the future.

1532                <p>
1533                  Generally, there are three ways couples choose to structure
1534                  their wedding dance:
1535                </p>
1536                <h3>Choreography</h3>
1537                <p>
1538                  A set of planned steps. Choreography can be as simple or
1539                  flashy as you’d like. It’s a great way to take the stress off
1540                  of learning a dance when you know what comes next. Having
1541                  choreography can give you the repetition and muscle memory
1542                  much faster.
1543                </p>
1544                <h3>Lead and Follow:</h3>
1545                <p>
1546                  An impromptu method where the leader gives signals of what
1547                  they want to do next and the follower responds. Lead and
1548                  follow is a great way to learn to social dance. You’ll learn
1549                  the different signals and won’t have to worry if you miss a
1550                  step in your routine. Keep in mind, it will require a little
1551                  more patience with your partner as you get comfortable with
1552                  communicating these signals.
1553                </p>
1554                <h3>Combination of Both:</h3>
1555                <p>
1556                  A combination of both choreography and lead and follow means
1557                  that certain parts of the dance are specific steps and other
1558                  sections are impromptu lead and follow.
1559                </p>
1560                <p>
1561                  Your instructor will be able to recommend what is best for you
1562                  based on how you learn, your timeline, as well as the look and
1563                  feel you’d like for your dance.

1576                  After answering a few questions about your venue, dress, and
1577                  the look and feel you’d like to have, your instructor will
1578                  guide you through a few basics of dancing. You’ll already
1579                  start learning parts of your wedding dance on your very first
1580                  lesson and leave with a plan of action between now and the

1594                  Absolutely not. If you haven’t decided a song, your instructor
1595                  will show you a few basic steps that go to any style of music.
1596                  The biggest hurdle in learning to dance for a wedding is
1597                  getting the basics down. Once you do decide on a song, they’ll
1598                  help you personalize it to the music.

1608                <p>
1609                  We recommend a wedding dance should be around 1 min 30
1610                  seconds- 2 minutes (maximum). While that might seem short,
1611                  it’s actually quite a bit of time, and quite a bit of steps
1612                  and/or choreography to learn and remember. Even those fancy
1613                  routines on Dancing With the Stars typically last anywhere
1614                  from 1:15-1:40.
1615                </p>
1616                <p>
1617                  If you’re doing more than one song for your first dance, the
1618                  time can be longer and your instructor will recommend
1619                  accordingly.

1630                  Yes! That is actually a service included with your wedding
1631                  dance lessons. Since we help with the planning of your dance,
1632                  it would only make sense that we cut the song for you as well.

1635                  Whether you just want a simple fade out or a total mash-up, we
1636                  can help take one more thing off of your to-do list.

1667                  The sooner the better. Planning a wedding can be very
1668                  stressful and quite costly. Coming in early allows you to
1669                  enjoy learning to dance together without a tight deadline. It
1670                  gives you more time, in case you need it, and gives you plenty
1671                  of time to practice. Learning to dance together should be a
1672                  fun part of getting married.

1686                  Your instructor will make individual recommendations based on
1687                  the complexity of your dance, how quickly you learn, and your
1688                  timeline. But, the most important thing to remember is that
1689                  consistency is key. Learning to dance is a skill, and with any
1690                  skill, it takes small amounts of consistent repetition.
1691                </p>
1692                <p>
1693                  While some couples do wedding bootcamps, most couples come in
1694                  once or twice a week for private wedding dance lessons leading
1695                  up to their wedding.

1706                  That completely depends on you! The more complex a dance, the
1707                  more time it takes to learn. If you want something simple, it
1708                  might only take a handful of lessons. If you want something a
1709                  little flashy, that takes a little longer. Lastly, if you want
1710                  a full-on YouTube sensation, that can take several months up
1711                  to a year.
1712                </p>
1713                <p>
1714                  It all depends on how fast you learn, how consistent you are
1715                  with your private lessons, and the complexity of your dance.
1716                  Our instructors are great at recommending a plan on your very
1717                  first lesson.

1736                  For the first couple of lessons, we recommend wearing the
1737                  shoes you are most comfortable in. That way, you can focus
1738                  solely on getting the steps down and not worried about getting
1739                  them dirty. As it gets closer to the wedding, you'll
1740                  definitely want to bring your wedding shoes to practice in.
1741                  You'll be 100% comfortable on the big day and have no unwanted
1742                  surprises.

1753                  Choosing a song for your first dance is entirely personal.
1754                  There is no right or wrong way.

1756                <p>
1757                  Questions to ask yourself when choosing a song: Was there a
1758                  song that you first danced to as a couple? Is there a special
1759                  memory that you had together featuring a special song or a
1760                  song that reminds you of that time? Is there a song that’s
1761                  lyrics are everything you want to say to your future spouse?
1762                </p>
1763                <p>
1764                  While there are trending wedding songs from year to year, the
1765                  biggest question to ask yourself is “Do I like it?” Your first
1766                  dance together is something you’ll always remember. Make it to
1767                  something you love!
