Testimonials
Debra
"We have been going to Arthur Murray Bondi since my hubby (Eric) gave me 4 x dancing lessons as a gift for my 60th birthday almost 2 years ago. I love it and i think Eric loves it even more, if that’s possible. Apart from learning how to dance, we never expected all of the other benefits; our posture and fitness level has benefited more than any gym or pilates class i have ever been to.​ Everyone i have met at Arthur Murray Bondi is so friendly and happy, especially the teachers. I always leave feeling on top of the world after my lesson. I wish i had of joined years ago!"

Michael
Arthur Murray Dance Studio is a fantastic place to go if you want to just get away from what's happening in this world and the pressures whether it's at work or home. It's a place where you can escape from the world and learn how dance. The Staff are amazing and professional and their Franchisee really makes the studio feel like a second home. Being a single male I am so glad I built up the courage to phone up book in and show up for my lesson, but I guarantee that it was one of those decisions that has changed my life. I seem to be over reviewing them but I would not do it if I wasn't 110% satisfied. Thanks Team Bondi. You're the best
Will
I decided to start doing dance classes again when I realised I had no real joy in my life. I knew from the moment I met my dance teacher Kathleen that this was going to be something special and I wasn't wrong. Aside from the second to none expert teaching, this studio is first and foremost a family. If you feel like you want a little more happiness in your life, more joy, start dancing at Arthur Murray Bondi Junction, it might just change your life. It did mine.

It's best to dress in comfortable clothes that are easy to move around in. Wear shoes that don't slip off your feet and try to avoid shoes such as trainers, with heavy rubber soles (you'll stick to the floor!).

Have a chat with your teacher, he will be able to advise you on the best type of shoes for men and women, finding all the material conveniently at Studio!
