"Thanks, Arthur Murray!  My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed each of our lessons and dance sessions at Arthur Murray this winter.  Although the staff has had to labor to produce a quality program, while waiting for the new dance studio, the dance instruction and personal help have been terrific.  As newlyweds trying to forge a new life together, your teaching and the friendly caring attitude of all the staff has made our dance lesson experience a shared pleasure.  Thank you again."

 Living in an 80% silent world kept me disconnected from the hearing world.  I was constantly in fear, unable to trust, lacked confidence, and isolation was "normal" to me.  Then, I started lessons by Jim Everly, owner of the "Arthur Murray Dance Studio" in Palm Desert, California.  Now, I have confidence to become the person that I believe I was always meant to be!  I am now someone who is not afraid, has learned to trust and functions with greater self-confidence. 
      In prior years, I learned to dance by closely following, remembering patterns, and counting measures, but I never learned to completely join with my partner.  I had been dancing somewhere between sound and silence with no connection. 
      With Jim's expertise in teaching, patients, and belief in me -- I am now becoming one with my partner.  I am dancing from my heart and am now acting out many women's fantasies from "Cinderella" to "Dirty Dancing" and now know the meaning that "It Takes Two To Tango"!
       I am grateful for Jim's abilities that have supported, transformed, and greatly enriched my life more that words could ever express!
                                                                            Sincerely grateful,

So I thought I could not dance!‎‎

 By rjradley - Jun 10, 2010

I was sure I could not dance (other than"freestyle). Yet, since my wife loves ballroom dancing, after five years of marriage with little dancing, I thought "if she loves this, and I love her, I'll give it a try." We started at Arthur Murray and it went from "Roger doing it for her, to Roger enjoying". The teachers of the private sessions are responsive, focused, and patient (they'd have to be with me). The group lessons, practice sessions and parties not only help improve my dancing awareness and skills, but we have developed a whole new group of friends. The studio is a welcoming, delightful, open atmosphere. The staff experienced, gracious and focused. Roger‎
