We came to Fred Astaire about a year before our big day wanting a completely original choreographed 1st dance. My now husband and I are not dancers, and have very little confidence on a dance floor. Jackie got us started in a trial lesson to give us a run down and we immediately loved her. They offered a complete package that included enough lessons for us to go weekly. By the end of it we were doing moves neither of us knew we were even capable of, EVEN A LIFT! We went out for our 1st dance so confident and absolutely nailed our routine and our guests were absolutely blown away. The instructors are so fun and supportive! we felt so comfortable there. We will definitely go back for some date night dance lessons!

ANNE! I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Anne at Fred Astaire. She helped us work out a custom dance plan, she took the time to assess what we knew going in about dance, she was both our cheerleader and drill sergeant (in a good way!) during lessons. Anne made sure we were fully prepared- we even got to practice performing our dance in front of people we didn't know beforehand! Her choreography told a story, and made me feel sooooo pretty. If you want to have a first dance that impresses family and friends, but still looks and feels like you, Anne is your girl. LOVE!!

hs!! Our guests were surprised when our slow song went into a classic latin hit. Taking dance classes was like a built in date night in the stressful time of wedding planning. Not only did my husband want to do a dance, but my dad wanted a dance for the daddy daughter dance as well. Anne was great at coming up with something that fit perfectly with what we could do. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the team at Fred Astaire St. Charles!
