When April and Chris Muller opened the Arthur Murray dance studio in Sugar Land in February of 2019, their goal was to get people on their feet and dancing. As they celebrate the studio’s fifth anniversary this month, the couple is thrilled with the studio’s warm reception into this community.
 
“Chris and I were once the only instructors in the studio teaching lessons,” says April. “In five years, we’ve grown to have a great team of instructors, offering dozens of different types of dance, including waltz, salsa, country 2-step, swing and more!”
 
February is the perfect month to get started at Arthur Murray. “Valentine’s Day is a great day to start creating your own traditions, maybe even creating an anniversary event that you yourself will celebrate for years to come,” says April. “Couples are always looking for a unique way to spend this special day, and what’s more special than dancing the night away with your Valentine?”
Located in the U.S., Canada and many other countries, Arthur Murray Dance Centers have been teaching dancers for more than 110 years. April and Chris first got involved with dance at Iowa State University, where they each joined the ballroom dancing club for social opportunities. The couple eventually became dance partners. competed together, and later started teaching together at the Arthur Murray studio in Cypress before opening the Sugar Land location.
 
You don’t need a partner to get started. Arthur Murray has dance classes for both singles and couples. “Dance is a great social activity, and it’s also a great way to express your emotions,” says April. “We offer a new student special to help dancers get started: $40 for an introductory sample lesson where you can try any of the dances that interest you. The majority of our students are dancing for fun and for social reasons. There are opportunities available for those who want to take it further, however, with many of our dancers being recognized nationally over the last five years. Ninety percent of our dancers have never danced before, so we start at the beginning and help them achieve their goals however large or small.”
 
Arthur Murray Sugar Land’s mission is to provide our community with a high-quality dance experience in a nurturing environment…the perfect activity to enjoy on Valentine’s Day and beyond.
