Is dance dad a thing? 'cause if it is, it's not really something I go around advertising to people,…read morebut I guess you guys can keep my secret, right? Shhhh... As a freshly sprung adult all those years ago, I used to think, I wish there was a class for people called "don't look like an idiot on the dance floor". While I never did find and admittedly, I didn't really search for either, a class aimed at young adults who don't want to look like an idiot on the dance floor, I somehow fumbled my way through my 20s, had a child in my 30s who is now a budding primary schooler. I thought to myself, what are all the really important things in life that a man should know how to do and somehow "don't look like an idiot on the dance floor" came to mind -- so here I am. A middle aged man sitting in the waiting area of a dance studio while my grade schooler learns how to dance. Sure, he looks cool doing it, he's learning coordination, he's part of a team of kids doing something together, he's getting his energy out in a productive way, he's cart wheeling, front rolling, hand standing, back bending, stomping, popping, locking, pointing in a hip-hop-esq way but what is most important here is that when he becomes an adult, he'll be able to roll up to da club and show up all those other posers who only wish that they "didn't look like an idiot on the dance floor". No amount of best value for your money, conveniently located hip-hop, tumbling, tap, or ballet classes can even compare to the satisfaction he will have when he's in his 20s and ruling the roost. To my 21 year old son making bad decisions in life, I dedicate this review to you. Now please just let me get through these multiple days per week watching you fumble around on the dance floor trying to keep up with the kids next to you while you shake your tiny little groove thing!

Fred Astaire has an amazing program and facility but for me it's the people that make it worth coming here.

Not only for couples…read moreseeking a memorable and enjoyable first dance experience but for anyone wanting to learn some social dance moves. From our first lesson to our wedding day, our instructors, Anastasiia and Kirill, guided us with professionalism and enthusiasm.​ We picked our chosen first dance song, and they expertly edited it to a suitable length for our dance. They crafted a personalized choreography that not only including elegant moves but also ensuring we felt comfortable and confident enough to do them ourselves. my husband and I wanted to avoid the typical bear hug and sway at all costs. We wanted to create a more memorable and exciting first dance not only for us but for our guests as well. Anastasiia and Kirill did just that. Our weekly lessons became a highlight of our wedding preparations. We looked forward to practicing at home and attending sessions. On our wedding day, our first dance was a testament to their expertise, leaving a lasting impression on our guests. Additionally, the skills we acquired enhanced other moments, such as the dip during our ceremony, making them truly special.​ Choosing Fred Astaire Dance Studios was one of the best decisions we made. The experience not only elevated our wedding but also introduced us to a shared activity we continue to enjoy. We wholeheartedly encourage other couples to take lessons before your wedding. It's an investment that truly pays off in the end!

I just can't with these people. The depths of their nastiness, incompetence & straight up dishonesty is really more than anyone can even comprehend, never mind try to endure. And don't forget that all of this began, because despite the teacher not even teaching my daughter's final class because she was out sick, like she was most out most of November, too, I might add, my 8 year old just couldn't cut it. This has swiftly turned into one of the most ridiculous & unpleasant experiences of my life. Don't even ask my child how she feels.... She is a third grader in 4th grade math, but she can't figure out how to sing a song & move her body parts in a directed manner. She's only been in dance & theater since preschool. We only left her last school because they changed her schedule, but this school would just never accept that we had experience, it just didn't fit their falsely perceived perceptions. But of course, none of this had anything to do with my child or her abilities, perceived or otherwise. This was all about someone's overrated ego. So petty & idiotic. The whole thing. Thank god I come from a family of lawyers. I'm not dealing with this dumpster fire anymore & I highly recommend that no one else makes the same mistake that I did. DO NOT enroll your child here.
