From the receptionist, Yolanda, to the instructors Mykola, Judy and Alexie, you have never met a more encouraging and fun group of folks! My husband and I are so out of our comfort zone as dance students it isn't even funny. (We are in our 60's.) But this group as made it so FUN for us, we keep coming back for more! I cannot say enough good things about this studio! Try a lesson or two, try to tell me I'm wrong. I dare you! :) read more

I've been here for the past 2 weeks working on my confidence to dance. Kelsey has been a very great instructor where she takes the time to go your speed, but not afraid to challenge you. Every lesson has given me more and more confidence in what I am doing and is opening the doors for me to keep on trying! Practice makes perfect and I have a tendency of asking questions to ensure I'm doing the right steps. Thank you Kelsey looking forward to our next lessons! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! My fiancé and I are getting married in October, we decided that we wanted to take some lessons to get a choreographed song! Both of us are not dancers by any means, and we were actually pretty stressed out. We stumbled upon this place because my MIL got us two free tickets for complimentary dance lessons. We went in expecting to maybe take one or two lessons to check things out, and we immediately got hooked! It's so fun! Kelsey, is our dance instructor and she immediately made us feel extremely welcomed! She is incredibly talented, patient, and does a fantastic job explaining things that make sense for each part. Kelsey is also really flexible and can adapt to each dancer, she is great! We have only had about 8 lessons, and we already feel like pros! They also hold events for their dancers/ students and themed dance nights. We are going to check some more out after the wedding, and try to learn some different types of dances. Definitely check it out! read more

We can't recommend Judi at Fred Astaire enough! She makes dancing fun and easy to learn, with a graceful approach that always makes you feel comfortable and confident. Her lessons were such a wonderful way for us to connect and have fun as we prepared for our wedding. Whether you're a beginner or just looking to polish your moves, Judi makes every step enjoyable! read more

Fred Astaire Dance has been such a wonderful experience. I started taking lessons at the Grant and Swan location about a month ago and have nothing but positive things to say. Friendly, welcoming, professional, encouraging, non-judgmental and supportive. There are people of all ages and levels of dance taking lessons or attending a social dance. Everyone is having fun and smiling. That alone tells the story. I highly recommend this studio if you have been considering learning to dance. read more

What an incredible experience! We currently live apart and had a weekend together in Tucson, our wedding is in four weeks and we wanted a quick class to teach some simple moves so we don't just sway back and forth for our first dance. In 45 minutes our incredible instructor put together a very simple but elegant routine timed to our chosen song and we are now even more excited for our wedding day! Thank you for the wonderful and amazing class, we only wish that we had found more time to go back for another lesson! read more

Everybody at the studio is very nice. Judy is our instructor and she's excellent. We love coming here.

Great first lesson for our wedding dance! Super friendly instructors, clean studio, and easy communication. Would highly recommend.

My fiancée and I came to Fred Astaire for help with our wedding first dance. Our instructor Judy has been outstanding introducing us to the elements of dancing. She is always supportive and very kind. Highly recommend Judy as instructor for any of your special event dance needs read more

Judy is amazing. She's helping us with our first dance and although we're not dancers she makes it easy and fun to learn!

I recently began taking dance lessons here with my wife and it's been great so far. Everyone is very friendly and the studio is clean and spacious. Our instructor, Mykola, is enthusiastic and helpful. He got us dancing a few basic steps right away and we've been adding more with each lesson. I've never taken dance lessons before and had no idea what to expect. I've been having lots of fun and really enjoying it! read more

Johnny was very clear about the program options without being pushy, which we really appreciated. When it came to the lesson, Johnny let us have fun but was also very detailed oriented and focused on proper form and technique right off the bat. We look forward to our Wedding Prep with Johnny and the Fred Astaire team. read more

Jonathan Birch was a fantastic instructor! He helped me gain confidence and was more than happy to answer any questions. His constructive criticism was easy to follow and correct. We learned so much during our 40 minute lesson. Can't wait for the next one! read more

A great space with great people! Judy did such a great job encouraging me and motivating me in my private lesson. She was so fun and joyful and there was never a moment where I felt anxious and embarrassed. The other staff were so kind and supportive, and I had such a great time learning the basics of dancing from someone so incredibly talented like Judy. read more

My husband and I have been married for 15 years, and while he's a musician with great rhythm, dancing was never something he wanted to try--until we met Judy and Andrew at Fred Astaire! We started lessons together with Judy, whose warmth, patience, and incredible teaching ability made learning not only possible for our different learning styles but also so much fun. Judy has a way of lighting up a room and making you feel confident every step of the way. When Andrew joined in, our progress skyrocketed, and dancing became something we both looked forward to each week. Both Judy and Andrew have been fantastic, helping us bond, laugh, and learn in ways we hadn't experienced before. They made dancing accessible, enjoyable, and even exciting--something my husband never thought he'd say! If you're looking for a memorable date night or a fun way to try something new, we can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Judy and Andrew, for making our dance journey unforgettable! read more

we had a great lesson with Reynato! He was incredibly professional and did a great job explaining steps to us and he made the lesson a lot of fun. The dance studio itself is incredibly clean and attractive and is a place you want to be. This is a great place to learn to dance. read more

We started our dance lessons with the introductory package and enjoyed it so much, mainly because of our instructor Andrew Smith, that we purchased the next package and soon we will purchase more! The studio is very pleasant and comfortable even when multiple lessons are happening at the same time. Each week we learn more and always look forward to going. read more

we had a great time, but weren't able to continue after our promo due to steep pricing. if you have room in your budget I would definitely recommend it though! read more

Amazing experience working with both Jonny and Reynato who helped choreograph and perfect our mother son wedding dance. They were both amazing teachers and had fantastic attention to detail to make our special dance come to life. Would recommend them for any kind of dance you're trying to learn no matter your level they will be able to make it come to life. read more

We just love dancing at Fred Astaire with Judy! She is so easy to understand and super patient with usthank you!

We recently had three beginning dance lessons with Reynaldo at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Tucson.

We would highly recommend him as a dance instructor and hope to sign up for more lessons when we return to the area. read more

We're taking classes with Reynato for our wedding. It is so fun and we're amazed at how much we've learned! We've also loved attending some of the other studio events like Monsoon Magic. Reynato and Judy put together great choreography for us and have made learning so fun!! read more

very nice dance studio, strictly ballroom dancing focused. Reynato, was patient and nice to work with!

I started at the Glenn Heights studio a few months ago to learn a choreographed dance for our wedding! I had zero dance experience but it really didn't matter! Each instructor was amazing to work with and so used to working with students from all skill levels and ages. We worked mostly with Jonny but also have learned so much from Judie and Kelsey! read more

My wife and I have been doing lessons for a few weeks and it's been great. Judy is a great instructor! They're very encouraging and friendly and it's been a lot of fun to connect with my wife in this way. read more

If you're looking to start dance lessons, Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Glenn Heights is the perfect place! I was hesitant at first since I've never taken a dance class before, but my instructor, Jonny, has made the whole experience so enjoyable. He's friendly, professional, and creates a comfortable learning environment. The staff here are all incredibly welcoming, which makes stepping out of my comfort zone much easier. I've been loving their introductory program--it's fun, engaging, and a great way to get started. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning to dance! read more

We are taking dance lessons for our wedding and we are SO happy with our instructor Reynato! He always has us laughing and enjoying every lesson! read more

Great instructors [Okselay( spelling?)is exceptional], smooth operations( kudos to the owners), & flexible schedules. Their instruction cost is a bit higher than the competitors but the quality of the program & professional yet personal approach of the dance teaching makes up for the high cost of the lesson. We will definitely continue our lessons! read more

I've been taking lessons for 3 months now. The staff is professional and fun. The Thursday night practice parties are a blast!

I came across their booth at the Bridal Expo and was in need of help for my first dance for my wedding. My Fiancé and I went for a trial and loved it! Our instructor Alex was very professional and patient with us and we both were able to learn very quickly. Definitely a fun experience and will be returning. read more

Very disappointed in my experience. I would not recommend this studio. Dont try to use a groupon here. The management seems to enjoy dicking people around. read more

My wife and I have been taking lessons here since I gifted us with one of their introductory specials for Christmas. We like to cruise and I had been feeling increasingly guilty as other couples danced the night away while we were forced to sit around and watch. So, I went out on a limb and purchased one of their "4 for $40" Introductory Specials. We enjoyed those initial sessions so much I signed us up for more. Dancing is great exercise, a lot more fun than going to the gym, and it is an activity we can enjoy together. At our age, we are seniors, it is also good for balance and memory. Owners Wayne and Marie are good people and their staff are not only talented and professional, but very supportive and . . . most important, patient. Even though I am clumsy, have two left feet and absolutely no rhythm, they have persevered to the point where on our last cruise we were able to actually get out on the dance floor and Rumba, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, and even Waltz with everyone else. It is a lot more fun doing than just watching and wishing. I would also recommend them to couples planning a wedding who want to WOW their friends and family with an impressive "First Dance". My advice though is to start early and give yourself enough time and practice to master the choreography. read more

My husband and I have been taking lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studio for just over a month and our progress has been AMAZING! My husband had never danced before, but despite that he is becoming a brilliant lead. I am a Zumba instructor and dance every day, but I have been challenged in ways I could not have imagined. The instruction has been professional and informative, yet relaxed and fun. My husband and I have found a new way to connect with each other after 18 years of marriage; we have learned several different styles of dance that we can enjoy for the next 18 years - at least! I am finally able to share my love of dance with the love of my life. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the wonderful staff at Fred Astaire. See you all at the next dance party! read more
