The timeless foundation of ballroom dancing — elegant, romantic, and the perfect first dance for any occasion in the Inland Empire.
The waltz is the foundation of ballroom dancing and one of the most beautiful partner dances ever created. With its graceful rise and fall, sweeping turns, and flowing movement set to a distinctive 3/4 time signature, the waltz has captivated dancers for centuries. From grand Viennese ballrooms to modern wedding receptions across California, the waltz remains the quintessential romantic dance that never goes out of style.
There is a reason the waltz has been one of the first dances taught at Arthur Murray studios for over a century — it is elegant yet approachable, timeless yet endlessly versatile. The waltz teaches you the fundamental principles of lead and follow, balance, and musical interpretation that carry over into every other ballroom dance. Whether you are preparing for your wedding first dance in Rancho Cucamonga, a formal gala in Ontario, or simply want to feel confident at any social event in the Inland Empire, the waltz is the perfect place to begin your dance journey.
At Arthur Murray on Central Ave in Montclair, our certified instructors guide you through the waltz step by step, from the basic box step to beautiful progressive movements that will have you traveling across the floor with poise and confidence. Our Montclair studio — conveniently located just off the I-10 in the heart of San Bernardino County — is where dancers from across the Inland Empire come to discover the magic of this timeless dance. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique, the waltz is waiting for you.

"Adrianne has been an absolute gem of an instructor. As a complete beginner, I was nervous, but she made every lesson enjoyable and I've improved more than I ever expected. Now I'm actually competing!"
