Welcome to Arthur Murray UK, we are so are pleased to make your acquaintance as the British conglomerate of the remarkable Arthur Murray franchised studios brand, with a fantastic site based in our capital city; London Baker Street.

Arthur Murray began teaching Ballroom and Latin dance in America in 1912.
He brought Ballroom and Latin dancing to the masses when he taught the whole of America in a National television programme, called “The Arthur Murray Party” that ran for ten years from 1950-1960. After this time the Arthur Murray brand was franchised which broadened its reach to a greater global audience.
