I used to ballroom dance at Fred Astaire in high school and have always wanted my first dance choreographed after watching so many couples go in and learn. My fiance and I went to a wedding expo and when we saw the Fred Astaire booth, we immediately signed up for lessons! All the instructors are so welcoming and excited to teach. It’s such a fun supportive environment and Jordan has been an amazing instructor. Everyone should give dancing a try even if it’s not for a wedding. We cannot wait to show off our dance in our big day!

My fiancé and I started taking dance classes for our wedding and we have really enjoyed working with Jordan. We have had a lot of fun learning different styles of dance. Everyone at the studio has been great to work with. We highly recommend trying classes here if anyone is looking to learn something new.

as taken dance lessons from the studio. The price is well worth it. Not only do you get private lessons, with a talented instructor. You have the option to come to any of the weekday classes for free. Their Friday night dance parties are a blast. We go to every single one. Our teacher made a wedding dance that blew our guests away. All the instructors are incredible, especially Anastasiia. She friendly, funny, and amazing at teaching. After we finished our wedding dance program, we enrolled in the social foundations program. We have too much fun it has become our Friday date night, and we wouldn't give it up for the world.

My fiance and I had no intention of taking dance lessons for our wedding, but we won 2 at an expo and figured why not? Needless to say, we ended up buying dance lessons because the...
service was amazing and we were convinced it would help our first dance look great (which it did).
We worked with a woman named Jessica who was absolutely amazing. She was funny, good natured, and came up with a modified dance that was right for us. We chose a song with a difficult tempo, and in only 6 lessons she made us look like professionals. Plus, the rest of the staff there had us laughing as well. Definitely recommend.
