Fred Astaire New York East Side Dance Studio

f. On the wedding day all of our guests were shocked and thought we did an amazing job, all thanks to Fred Astaire.

eps. They also threw in a free half an hour lesson for my in-laws who were in from England the week of our wedding. Lessons are not cheap (anywhere, not just them) but I would love another reason to take dance lessons there.

atient. We learned quickly and everyone at the wedding commented on our lovely first dance.

elegant and we received a lot of compliments from our guests afterwards. I highly recommend taking lessons from them.

o refused to teach more contemporary steps. Apparently just about the only dance anyone should ever do is rumba, which is ridiculous. It is also very expensive to go beyond their basic package, and they were very pushy about choreographing a dance, which isn't what we wanted. We were hoping to learn a few practical steps, but it didn't work out.

oupon and we eneded up buying one extra lesson in order to get all the training we needed. We went to the Fred Astaire on Sheridan drive in williamsville and worked with Andrea. She was great and gave us 5 simple moves in order to have a unique dance which definitely paid off! Our guests were so impressed. I would encourage all couples to try it because at the very least it is fun!

end to anyone that wants that impressive first dance with your loved one.

elp us look and feel more confidant for our first dance. We didn't go for the choreographed routine since that really wasn't our style, but we did pick up some nice turns and posture techniques that really gave us a "10" from all the guests! I recommend taking dance lessons before your wedding, even if you don't have 2 left feet!! It's just such a great way to have fun and let loose before the wedding and learn more about yourself during that process.

dance, and general lessons! We love Igor, Polina, Roman, Natasha, Karina and Vlad! Their new place is beautiful and we can't wait to go back to visit! We plan to continuie our lessons indefinitely, and consider our instructors our friends as well!

to "Wonderful Tonight." Will and his staff were punctual, fun, friendly, patient and TALENTED. We had a great time and will go back for post-wedding lessons!

for our first dance. While it is on the expensive side, we thought it was worth it to look good on the dance floor for our first dance.

shot days. Please try them if you are in the area and need some new techniques.

were capable of and in the end it was a cute idea to have a rehearsed and practiced First Dance.

le doing it (once I got into some flat sandals and pinned up the darn netting in my dress!!!), and can't wait to watch the video of it. Thanks to her and the whole team there. They are amazingly patient and have great personalities. It was light-hearted there, not strict and crazy like I was worried it might be. They work with you every step of the way! yay!

he recommended 10-15. The staff worked with us to help us learn dance steps as quickly as possible, and to create a routine that was feasible. The facility was nice, and there was plenty of room for multiple couples to practice simultaneously. My only criticism is that I feel as though 2 or 3 of our dance lessons were wasted, because we did not have the same instructor for all sessions. Each of these times, we would learn different sequences, that were different than what we previously learned, making it difficult for us to nail down a specific routine and have enough time to practice it. I felt that the lessons were expensive, although I do not really have any other dance studio prices to compare them to.

nd my work schedules, it just wouldn't fit. They worked with us really well even though we didn't have too many lessons and managed to pull off the cutest dance ever in just 5 lessons. It didn't all come together until the end, leaving us guessing if it would, but it did! We were so happy to impress everyone with the cute little moves we added into our not-at-all slow dance (how boring!).
