    Graduation!
    Emma L.

    If you are looking for an overwhelmingly positive and welcoming studio with champion level professional instructors to teach you every dance with proper form, look no further! My classes at Fred Astaire downtown have quickly become the highlight of my week. As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted with bumping music, beautiful dancers learning different levels of ballroom and Latin dances, and an unbeatable community of friends! My instructors Danylo and Temur are fabulous! You are provided a wonderfully structured program which helps you learn a lot over a short period of time along with opportunities to show off your skills at their dance parties and events! Come dance with us!

    Our favorite lift from our first dance!

    Around four months before our wedding, my now wife and I reached out to the downtown Fred Astaire studio for an introductory first dance class which may have been the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process! Our instructor, Katya, walked us through the whole process and gave us confidence that we would be able to wow our family and friends with a choreographed first dance - even though neither of us really had any prior experience. Before leaving, Katya performed a preview dance set to our song with one of the other instructors that was extremely impressive. Over the next few months, Katya taught us our personalized waltz-style dance in sections with each class building on the last. She definitely challenged us to step outside our comfort zone to learn the beautiful routine that we could tell she spent a lot of time and effort on. Each step, lift, spin, and dip flowed perfectly with our song and by our last class, we felt like we could perform the dance in our sleep. On our wedding day, our guests were blown away by our dance which seemed to energize the whole room. The dance floor was packed from the moment we finished our dance and throughout the night. We want to thank Katya and all the other downtown studio instructors for preparing us so well for our special day. The whole staff is so friendly, encouraging, and passionate about sharing and teaching dance with everyone that walks in the studio. If you're considering taking lessons for your first dance, just DO IT! And look no further than right here!

    We had an amazing experience with Fred Astaire downtown--thank you to Tanya and her crew!! My now-husband and I are total dance novices, so he insisted on taking lessons for the first dance for our wedding. Because of his recent recovery from a major back surgery, we were super limited in time and only had 2 weeks to prep our dance number! Tanya and her team were super patient with us and coached us into a beautifully choreographed routine for our first dance as newlyweds. While our execution was perfectly imperfect--I blame the champagne, husband blames my long wedding dress ;)--we had a perfectly wonderful time, both before and during. Even now on our Hawaiian honeymoon, we are showing off our dance moves, like last night at Tahiti Nui in Kauai :). Each of the 8 sessions we crammed into two weeks (!!) honestly was like couples' therapy and gave us some reprieve from the stressors of wedding planning. We have a few lessons leftover and will definitely be putting them to use!! Thank you Fred Astaire Dance Studio!!

    I walked into Fred Astaire Downtown looking for price information for private lessons but I was immediately greeted with warm welcomes as if id been dancing at the studio for years. It was such a positive environment and so, I took my first lesson right then and there with Artem. I have been taking lessons with Artem and Nikita for a few months now and I'm amazed at how much I've learnned in such a short period of time. If you want to learn how dance then come check out this studio. You won't regret it!

    The four owners here are so kind and amazing. We learned our dances incredibly quickly and the teachers were so good. See the clip of the dance they did for us! I'd go here to get choreography for a special event or just to learn a few dance moves! Someone show us how to be super graceful! Go, you'll learn quickly!

    BEST CLASS EVER, PERIOD…read more This review is for the the Sculpt classes. Let me start off to say that I have taken almost 500 classes via classpass and through other studios all over the country, and I have to say that the sculpt class taught by Katia was amazing. Plus: instructor's enthusiasm, overall energy, music, moves, and structure of the class was all cohesive and layed out very well. I was looking for a sculpting class that would build lean muscles instead of bulk me up and this class definitely did it's job. There was constant movement, so you also got a decent cardio burn as well during the class. Cons: Space. At times, it felt so hot in the room, so not sure if they had their aircon on. But hey that allowed me to sweat all my impurities out. As with all classes via classpass, I measure my overall satisfaction based on 2 things--did I walk out of the class or would i purchase a class (gasp now, outside of the classpass membership). For this studio and especially this sculpt class I would definitely purchase classes outside of class pass. Good job Katia, keep up the good work!

    As a long-time dancer, I always seek for very professional ballet class. It's a gift to meet Tiekka…read moreand joined her class every Wednesday night. I'm a perfectionist, so it's a nature of mine to be very picky when it comes to ballet class (I've tried so many in Manhattan but...). After the first one with her I can tell, she's so wonderful and professional and make the class well-organized. She put her heart into it, and it worth the time and paying. Every class I make progress. Tips from her are extremely helpful that in my weekend classes teacher can tell the difference. This is amazing!!! This place is highly recommend. And I'd like to add several points brought up by others: 1. 5th FL Yes, you need to walk all the way to 5F since there's no elevator. But 5 floors can't be a big deal to a dancer unless having injuries - If you are, better look for sth else till become strong enough to do ballet. 2. Neighborhood It's in a safe, pleasant neighborhood along Broadway St. Chinatown is large. Also as a common sense, not every place is dirty - There are a lot of "hidden treasures" around this area. Plus I have no problem walking along the street after class. 3. Classroom Having experienced a number of doom, slippery, compact rooms I really like this one: High ceilings, plenty of bare space, large mirrors, and wide windows with beautiful night view. Floor's nice, too, good for flat shoes, pointe shoes, and also socks. The best part is the atmosphere. Other than Tiekka is so enthusiastic and always selects the best music, everyone is friendly. Nobody will judge you, and everybody gets corrected during each session. You will love this place

From day one after trying it out via ClassPass- I was hooked. Although I kept my ClassPass membership to do other things (boxing, HITT, etc.) because I was nervous, I wouldn't stay in shape if I only did ballet. WELL, I WAS WRONG! I learned the more ballet you do, the more it works for you! I had an emergency surgery that required me to be off from all workouts for six weeks. When I was ready to exercise, my body was too fragile to take on anything that strained my body. My husband suggested only doing ballet for a month until I was back on my feet. Fast forward three months, and I'm only doing Everyday Ballet, and I'm in the BEST shape of my life. The best part is I love being there. I never have the tread of getting in the right mental place to go because it's so fun. Tiekka, the other instructors, they all have such a great passion for dance. You see it in their smiles and how they engage with the class. My only regret is I didn't become an unlimited ballet student sooner. GO! Get off Classpass and go 3-4 times a week, and you will be amazed by how you feel, physically, mentally, and spiritually. You get beautiful music to enjoy, a toned body, and ballet training from professional ballet dancers and a principal professional ballerina!!

They have a schedule updated monthly, with separate sign-up options for both member and non-members. As a non member, I paid for the drop-in class, which was $25. The class runs for an hour with around 10+ students, where an instructor first starts up with a quick warm-up and then jumps into teaching you a choreo to the song. The choreo is broken into several routines, so you learn them slowly in detail, and then piece them all together with the song incrementally. Dancing is as challenging for your brain as it is for your body, as you need to really exercise your memory and mind body coordination! The whole class went by super fast. Everyone who went seemed to be regulars and quite experienced, but you'd be too busy trying to master the dance to care. At the end, we are placed into two groups, where we are given a chance to perform and record ourselves. DivaDance emphasizes community as they have a whole FB group where you can see past dance classes and meet new members as well! I met some cool friendly people my first time and I'd totally attend more classes in the future!
