They take pride in teaching you to be the best you can be and the level of professionalism is unmatched. They do have an introductory special to help you get started and you don't even need a partner to begin your journey of dancing. I've been competing on a monthly basis and I am extremely excited with the progress!!! Hope that you will join our dance fam!!!

Now, a year later I'm going into ballroom dancing competitions and, in fact winning the occasional trophy. Fred Astaire Naples took me from absolute rock bottom to being able to cut a fairly decent figure on the dancefloor. Irina and Strahinja are total professionals as are the other instructors on their staff. I would recommend the Fred Astaire Studio to anyone.

She put in my card number wrong and had to call me back for me to say it again. Quite an ordeal before arriving. Lesson was ok but after the lesson we were pressured to buy a package. We were told that if we leave the studio that we wouldn't get the ten percent discount so we should buy it immediately. Thousands of dollars upfront is a big deal. So we asked if we could have some privacy and discuss it. This was my fiancé and myself as we were trying to practice a dance for our wedding. Then not even 60 seconds later Marjorie comes over and starts asking us questions and again we stated we just needed a little privacy in time to think about it. We decided not to move forward since we felt very pressured. The next day I receive a phone call again from Marjorie stating that the owner saw dancing and he wanted to give us a free lesson. I did not respond. The next day she texts me. And then I had to tell her to stop contacting me. I do not appreciate the high sales pressure. It seems like they're just all about the money.

The hustle (not the line dance) can be done to all types of rock, pop and country music. The group dances are done Monday - Thursday nights and are dedicated to one type of dance. They usually have about 3 couples there and everyone gets a lot of one-on-one attention due to the small group. I really suggest giving it a try, great exercise and a lot of fun.

I attended the celebration party last night (Saturday January 31) and I was so pleasantly surprised at how welcoming everyone was. Not only the owners, but the entire group (and I mean every last one) of the students/patrons were so kind, helpful, and supportive. After one visit I can appreciate the reason this dance studio is as successful as it is. It is so inspiring to see a small business succeed, not only as a result of the hard work and dedication of the owners but as a result of the inclusion, welcoming culture they've developed. I can't wait to go back!
