When I started taking lessons at Arthur Murray, my self-esteem was at an all time low. I was devastated by my recent separation from my husband of 26 years and needed to find something I could do for myself to get me through those really bad days. I don't even remember what gave me the courage to walk through those doors, but I am so glad I did. From my very first lesson on, I have gradually felt better and better about myself. The encouragement from the instructor's and all the staff and the satisfaction of learning to dance has rebuilt my self-esteem way beyond where I was even before the break-up of my marriage. Dancing is the very best therapy.

When my husband forst moved out I could only listen to talk radio. Listening to music just made me sad and reminded me of happier times. After a few weeks of dance lessons, I began to listen to music again. I found I was listening to figure out what dance to do to each song. I wasn't even listening to the words. Now, I love listening to music again and enjoy trying to figure out which dance goes with each song.

The instructors at Arthur Murray are always so up and positive and complimentary (who doesn't need that?). It's a wonderful, fun environment and impossible to feel bad when you are there. I recommend Arthur Murray dance lessons to anyone - particularly anyone facing a difficult time in their life. Even if things are going well, dancing can only make it better!
