I was told by my father for years that I should learn to dance, so when I had some time on my hands I purchased their introductory offer as a lark. That was a little over a year ago and I haven't left since.
Fred Astaire has given me new confidence and poise, I look better (lost 25 lbs. last year) and feel better. The owner and the staff at FA really make you feel at home.
Andrea, the owner, runs the studio in such a way that you immediately feel welcome and relaxed.
Rob the dance director has phenomenal dance expertise, the women swoon over his good looks and the men are entertained by his abundance of stories.
Dancing with Lisa is a truly unique experience, she is light as a feather in your arms because she has such extreme control of her body. The truly remarkable thing is that she can effectively communicate those skills to her students.
Kellie has an energy and a passion for dance that is infectious, she is a wonderful instructor and is mainly responsible for any progress I have made.
Frankie is a showman and talented instructor, and yes ladies, he is very easy on the eyes also.
Dave is the newest instructor, the growth in his abilities and dance talent have amazed me.
Last but not least is Shannon, she runs the desk and warmly greets you whenever you arrive or call. Shannon is the go-to girl to fix any of your problems.
Rounding out the Fred Astaire experience are the students. There is no other place in my life that I have met and been welcomed by such gracious and wonderful people. As an added benefit the women are beautiful and the men are all gentlemen.
So if you've ever wondered if Ballroom Dancing might be your cup of tea, give the Fred Astaire Dance studio in Willoughby a try. read more
