What's Shakin' at Arthur Murray Coquitlam:

Updated June 3, 2023

Coming up soon will be Bobby G in the studio – Wednesday and Thursday, June 7 and 8. There are still a few coaching lesson appointments available and 2 Salsa workshops – an intermediate one on Wednesday evening at 8:30 and an advanced one on Thursday evening at 7:30. Make sure to ask your teachers, or one of the Barbaras, about more details and which of the workshops would be appropriate for you.

Spring FESTIVAL 2023 is on! 6 weeks of fun theme parties and dancing. Check the Upcoming Events page for a comprehensive list of dates for that.

We have already had a couple of the theme parties so far. Photos are online on the Arthur Murray Coquitlam Photo Albums Page. The next theme party is Geek Out for our science fiction enthusiasts in the studio, so get your thinking cap on for your costume ideas for that.

Make sure you know the FESTIVAL Group Class schedule – there are more groups to come. This time we will be learning some fun moves in Peabody 🙂

Keep checking for more updates for the FESTIVAL events…
