She's now branched out into tumbling and the cheer team. As a former competitive dancer myself, Ashley definitely knows what she's doing and runs this studio so seamlessly! Truly such a welcoming environment, we felt a part of the family from the moment we walked in for a trial class. We love and appreciate Ashley, Daniella, Emily & ofc Harper and all of the next level staff. The passion they have to make an impact on these kids' life is admirable!

We have been here almost 6 years and have loved every minute of it. Ashley is always on top of bringing the best activities to her dancers plus choreographers. She always clearly communicates everything! Daniella and Emily pour their heart and soul into every dancer who walks through the door and gives 100% to everything they do! They know how to push dancers to reach their full potential and take their skills to the "next level" while keeping the environment positive and inspiring. ​We couldn't be happier to be a part of the Next Level family. Highly, highly recommend

I started Zumba almost 2 years ago. It was a giant leap for me. I knew that just walking at Lodi…read moreLake hadn't been enough- I wasn't losing the weight. I also wasn't enjoying a typical gym workout and the memberships cost too much. Now I had zero back ground in dance but music has spoken to me for the majority of my life.  I took a chance and walked into a Zumba class at Dee Dee's and I was hooked. Believe me, I sucked. I had no rythym. I couldn't keep up and I was often not on the same side of the room as the rest of the class. I laughed at myself and kept coming to classes. The instructors were positive, sweet, and humorous. I loved the endorphins and learning new dance moves.  I've been coming to Dee Dee's classes since Sept of 2013. I got pregnant about the same time and kept going all the way up through 9 months along. Zumba made me strong for labor. I started back to classes at 4 weeks post pardum because I missed it so much. I have never felt so good in my whole life. I have rhythm. I'm strong. I can even dance. :) I've lost 50 lbs (30 of baby weight and 20 beyond that) and my knee that's bothered me for the longest time is stronger and hurts less. Most importantly, I can keep up with my 2 busy boys.  Thank you to Dee for having a vision of offering such a fun dance workout that is MORE than affordable. She is an amazing teacher that leads us to succeed. She makes us work and encourages us to do our best-after all, it is our workout. I love that Dee Dee cares so deeply for all of the women that come through the doors. She is here to shape us and teach us how to move in a way that we won't injure ourselves. She rejoices with us in our moments of reaching our goals. She works hard to tailor her classes to each person. Thank you for what you do. :) xoxo

I feel better and I look better but there is always work to be done. In addition to the hard work and determination you bring, DeeDee is an amazing teacher, trainer, motivator and she'll be you're biggest cheerleader not to mention an awesome friend. It's a win win situation. For me I have had some physical struggles and DeeDee has gone above and beyond to accommodate and modify my workouts. You couldn't ask for a better camaraderie among everyone that comes to any of her classes...its laid back there is absolutely no pressure. Its your work out and we have fun and get healthy all at the same time. If the gym is just not your thing you're in for a treat. It's a dance party with new friends every time you come. She offers drop ins at a minimal cost. Come check it out you won't be sorry!!

Allie (dance owner) and all the teachers love all the students, they have had to have taught the big girls to be kind to the little girls because all of the bigger students are so amazing with the Littles.

Hours are convenient, staff is amazing, and the dance owner is always there if you ever need to speak with her. She's not an absentee owner. Every time I go to drop my daughter for her class , she's either teaching, or just pulling up. I will always tell people to go here when they ask where my daughter dances.

They teach Tahitian and Hawaiian dancing. Down to the attitude, the teachers and students are soooo relaxed and just want to have fun there. Their prices are amazingly affordable and they have multiple class times throughout the week. The younger classes are separate from the older girls and they have many performances throughout the year to show off their skills.

It was one of the best decisions we could have made. We got so much more than just a choreographed dance. They taught us a variety of basic dance styles; helped us choreograph a dance routine to two songs and even gave us the music to give to our DJ. On top of that, they helped us navigate the dance floor setup so that our wedding photographer would get the best photos of us. They are very thoughtful and detailed in their craft. All of the instructors and students are fun, patient and kind. They have a fun sense of community. We worked mostly with Devany and Tawni, and they really made our dance a successful one on our special day. We will definitely be returning for group classes.

It's been a year since I started dancing at Arthur Murray, and I wanted to share an update. What…read morebegan as something fun and new has grown into a really rewarding hobby that I look forward to every week. Over the past year, I've expanded into new dance styles and started focusing on the finer details--like arm styling and hip movement, not just footwork. I've joined the dance team, performed in group showcases, and taken part in coaching lessons with incredible visiting instructors who've given me professional feedback to grow from. When my first instructor, Valerie, moved and transferred to another Arthur Murray studio, I wasn't sure what to expect--but I was left in great hands. Angela, my new main instructor, has been amazing at challenging me and helping me push my limits. I've also taken lessons with Alexia and Nathan, and all three have supported my growth with their unique styles and encouragement. One big milestone this year has been dancing in front of others through demos. It's helped me shake off nerves, have fun with mistakes, and just keep dancing. My confidence has grown immensely--I now step onto the dance floor excited, not anxious. I've even started receiving compliments on my leading and technique, which feels incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking about trying dance, I can't recommend Arthur Murray enough. But here's the key: don't just take a lesson or two--immerse yourself in the full experience. Take lessons weekly, go to group classes, attend the parties. You'll get so much more out of it if you fully embrace the experience.
