Fred Astaire Dance Studio

My wife and I took lessons at Fred Astaire prior to our wedding a few months ago. Despite our lack of dance of experience, our instructor created a curriculum for us to learn a Foxy dance and a Viennese Waltz within a two month timeframe, both of which we danced on our wedding night to two of our favorite songs. Our dances turned out to be magnificent and were a breathtaking surprise for our guests who had no idea that we could dance so well. We had such a terrific experience with Hunter and his team that we even hired them to do a mini-performance of three songs at our wedding and afterwards to dance with our cherished guests. When we returned from our honeymoon, we decided that we wanted to continue dancing at Fred Astaire, and have been taking lessons 1-2 per week for the past three months. Under the tutelage of Hunter and his team, we have discovered a new hobby that we plan to continue for years to come. Additionally, the customer service and flexibility of the instructors is exceptional. Our instructors have always ensured that we are satisfied with the lessons. They also understand that we are busy professionals with a sometimes erratic schedule: if we are ever 10-15 minutes late because of traffic or a work meeting that went longer than expected, our instructors are not "clock watchers" and will give us our full time as long as they do not have another student after us; they will also allow us to reschedule our lessons if an unexpected meeting comes up that we must attend. Overall, we are very appreciative of our instructors' expertise, humor, flexibility, and customer-centric service model. Highly recommended!

Learning the steps to our wedding's 1st dance at Fred Astaire's Dance Studio was by far the best part of the pre-wedding planning. Expert and friendly staff prepare you to confidently dance in front of your guests.

It started with emails, they helped us figure out what dance style would suit us best. And from the moment I emailed them, to the moment my husband and I walked in, to the moment we last walked out, the people who work and teach here were so welcoming and kind. I was so nervous when I walked in first. They immediately greeted us with smiles and happiness, and were so kind and thoughtful. Shortly after walking in I felt completely at ease. Danae was our instructor. She was great! We took five lessons for our first dance and we learned a whole lot. What was awesome was that she didn't give us a routine we HAD to stick to, she taught us a routine, yes, but she also gave us skills to know what to do when we forget our steps (which came in handy), or want to change something last minute/day of the wedding (like dance to the whole song instead of half like we had originally planned), and skills to know how to dance with the guests too. And that was all by teaching us our dance. They were able to customize the packages they had available for us to fit our needs, because we didn't have a whole lot of time to learn to dance. Neither of us had ever taken dance lessons before and it was an amazing experience to be able to learn how to dance, and dance well! Hugely recommended!! They are so welcoming and help you feel comfortable in their studio, but they also help you feel comfortable dancing. I love the way they teach and how helpful and kind they are. They are located about a half hour away from where we live but it was so worth the drive!
