    My fiancé (now wife) was trying to find a dance studio to teach us (mostly me) a choreographed wedding dance when she came across Fred Astaire where we started talking to Kaylin in February 2025. Immediately she was able instill hope that we could have a successful dance routine prior to even stepping foot in the studio. With Kaylin's great balance of skill, charisma and teaching patience, over the next 7 months I developed confidence not only with our dance routine, but also salsa, bachata and even a bit of hustle. The entire experience was wonderful from start to end and my wife and I had an amazing wedding with the dance being the biggest highlight. All in all, I would recommend to anyone, looking for anything in the dance realm to try Fred Astaire, and more specifically Kaylin as their instructor. Thank you again for all of you expertise and fun times!

    We started dance classes with Kaylin a year before our wedding. When we first talked on the phone, I told her I wanted Dancing with the Stars. After our first practice with my now husband, Dancing with the Starts seemed like a lost hope. But after working with Kaylin every week she made it come to life. She is great at understanding how people learn and, in that way, enabling them to succeed. She listens, gives options, and makes sure what she teaches you feels right for you. We enjoyed our practices every week as an opportunity to connect with one another but also, Kaylin is a blast and we quickly came to consider her a friend. Our first dance ended up being my husband's favorite part of our wedding which was a HUGE transformation from where he started the process. That is because Kaylin gave us the confidence to enjoy it. Many thanks to Kaylin and Cage for leaving us with a memory we'll never forget!

    For years my now husband *squeal* and I talked about taking dance lessons since neither of us were super comfortable on the dance floor, not only for us but also in hopes that we wouldn't pass on uncomfortable dance vibes to our future children. We finally decided to make it happen to prepare for our grand entrance and first dance for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience than what we had at Fred Astaire! We worked with Kaylin and not only was she awesome to work with, but she went above and beyond to curate the perfect dance for our grand entrance and first dance song that truly felt so us! We also took some group lessons and a private lesson with Kage, the owner, and he's also awesome to work with! We did a mix of private and beginner group lessons, which I highly recommend since everyone at the studio is super welcoming and it gave us a really well rounded intro to dance. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and is so easy to get lost in, deciding to take dance lessons was by far our favorite part of our engagement era, it felt amazing to do something that felt like it was just for us. In addition to a first dance that we loved and enjoyed performing (and our guests loved), we also gained a new hobby, date night activity, new friends, and community while also discovering a new side of ourselves and eachother as dance partners! Whether you're looking for first dance choreography for your wedding, a great date night activity, or to take dance lessons, look no further!

    My now husband and I were looking for some dance lessons before our wedding to learn the basics. Despite tight time-constraints on our end, Kaylin and Kage completely delivered and prepared us ilimited time. They taught us an easy step, a few turns and a dip to go with our first dance song. They were communicative throughout the process to set up more lessons and even offered the studio for us to just practice the week of our wedding. Thank you to the studio for helping make our wedding day perfect! We will definitely be back for more dance lessons in the future. Can't wait to share photos

    My husband and I LOVEEEEE the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Oceanside!!!! It has brought us SO much joy and has made us even closer throughout our dance journey! Our journey with them started because we wanted to have a fun choreographed first dance for our wedding but my husband was nervous about his dancing ability since he had never danced before, so we first decided to take some group dance classes at the Oceanside studio. We took, Salsa, Tango, Bachata, Two-Step, etc. for months and had the BEST time there! We looked forward to it every week due to the fun, encouraging atmosphere and insanely talented instructors - shoutout to the incredible Kage and Kaylin!!! - and we developed awesome relationships with the instructors and students there! We're even going to their upcoming studio Halloween Party soon :) Then we started taking private dance lessons with Kage (and a few times Kaylin as well) to choreograph and hone our dance. That one-on-one experience was INVALUABLE!! They have improved our dancing x1000 and we even felt comfortable enough to add a crazy flip trick at the end of our first dance! We are so happy with how our dance turned out and, while I have always considered myself a dancer of sorts, EVERYONE who has seen our dance can now say with certainty that my husband is a straight up DANCE KING now as well! We can't wait to continue our dance journey at the studio with the group classes - we highly recommend checking them out - you WILL leave each class smiling, closer, and full of inner child joy! :D

    We took five lessons with Kage to prepare for our wedding and must say it was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. My wife and I had two lesser-known songs that we wanted to dance to and during our first lesson with Kage he was immediately able to picture what our dance could look like. Over the course of the next five lessons we learned how to do both the Rumba and the Country Western Swing with confidence that we didn't know we had. We were absolute beginners and Kage quickly taught us how to make our dance look elegant and fun without making things too complicated. His team even helped cut our music together to make it flow a bit better and knew exactly what things to help us with to get the best pictures possible at our wedding. If you are in need of dance lessons or just want to learn a new skill, I definitely recommend this studio.

    Oh my gosh!!!! This was the best decision we made for our wedding!!!!…read more My husband and I just had our wedding this past Saturday and it was truly magical but one of the best parts of the day was our choreographed dance! Neither of us had any dance experience besides dropping it low at the club back in the day ( elder millennials ) so this was nerve wracking for us at first. We found McCann dance via another yelp review and booked the intro lesson on a whim. We ended up with Elisa McCann who happens to be an INCREDIBLE professional dancer and a fantastic teacher!! We had 7 weeks to get a dance locked in. Well, that we did. We met with her once a week up until our wedding and she customized choreography for us, pushed us out of our comfort zone just enough to WOW the crowd, but made sure the moves were things we were physically capable of doing. Every week we showed up to our lesson happy to share that we'd been practicing. I want to shout from the rooftop that this studio is incredible and I LOVED our custom wedding dance!!! Do it. Do it. Do it. Seriously, if you're debating doing it. DO IT!!!! Best decision ever!!!!

    Super nice instructors !!! We learn something new every class and have a great time learning!read more

You can tell this isn't just a business to them, it's a community. The studio is absolutely beautiful, the teachers and staff are so friendly, and I love that they're about so much more than just dance. They dance with purpose, teach great values, and are always finding ways to give back to the community.
