Swing Kat is the BEST!! My husband and I started taking lessons in January 2019 in preparation for…read moreour wedding in August. With the help of group and private lessons, we surprised all of our guests with a sensational dance (that included a bunch of aerials). After our wedding, we continued lessons and will have many years of dancing with swing kat to come. It's a great way to get out and have fun.. even if you're not the best dancer to begin with. All of the instructors are incredible and welcoming. Definitely sign up for a class.. you will not regret it!

This is my favorite dancing venue in the area. I honestly am a little sad no one has reviewed it…read morealready, but am happy that I get to be the first one. What makes this the best place to dance? Hands down it is the friendly people. Everyone is super friendly and will ask you to dance. Even better there are a lot of great dancers here, but even if you are not, don't worry, the advanced dancers are very nice about dancing with you and showing you moves. The owners of this place, Faryl and Bijal are the sweetest people. What they never complain about and what people almost never see is that often they stay for 2-3 hours after the dance to clean up the facilities by themselves. One night I was chatting with Bijal and decided to stay and help clean while continuing our chat. I looked up and it was incredibly late and we were only half done (needless to say, I stayed and finished helping because I couldn't bear thinking about how tired they both must have been). On a happier note, one reason why it takes so long to clean is because the dance floor and venue is HUGE! It is by far the best and biggest dance floor in the area. Some people like it cozy, but I like room to really dance it out and do all my hand and arm motions without hitting anyone. The place is a little old, but has an old world charm to it. The music is always wonderful, but it is a rotating DJ system. This is a great thing, however, because there are multiple people doing the job, you get to experience a variety of music at a multitude of tempos with a myriad of attitudes. The food offered is usually just simple snacks, but on special occasions, they usually have an amazing spread. A lot of times people will bring their favorite dishes and pitch in. As stated earlier it is a very tight community. I really just can not say enough good things about this place. A quick tip: Although closer street parking is available, there is a parking lot on the corner, about half a block away (I hate walking, so I always take a chance I will find something closer hahaha).

The instructor was unable…read moreto get my daughters attention and was losing the class as the other children were copying my daughter. After class, the instructor pulled me aside and said if your daughter doesn't do better next week I'm going to have to ask you to leave the class. I was totally embarrassed and ashamed that the instructor said this to me. I told my husband and he said that instructor is a joke with no personality. We put her another dance class and she is doing amazing. The owner did apologize to me when I called to cancel her class as I couldn't bring my daughter to this environment! They would have had years of business from my two kids!!!

5 STARS! My wife and I have been learning Latin and ballroom dance with Karmina for 2 years…read more Karmina is skilled in over 20 dances and her teaching style is tailored to each student from beginner to competition level. Her teaching methodology is most conducive to learning and retaining new material in private lessons and group classes. She also provides flexibility with my busy work schedule and teaches in multiple locations including but not limited to King of Prussia, Norristown, Blue Bell, and Phoenixville. We have danced with other instructors at different studios in Southeast PA and out of state; Karmina is clearly the best. From ballroom to club dancing, Karmina teaches it all at a very reasonable price.

Back then it was group lessons too, with friends, and i learned a lot in a short amount of time. My ex and I didn't dance anymore during the marriage but after the divorce i took up personal lessons again and have been learning ever since. Karmina is a fantastic instructor in both abilities to teach and as a highly valued friend. She learns the best ways to teach me and is just as proud of my accomplishments as i am! She is the absolute best instructor i could ever have the pleasure of learning from!!

The Wednesday morning class is a joy. The dancers are a nice mix ranging from students who danced as children, to others who more recently have realized an adult dream come true, college students earning degrees, people who seek an outstanding form of fitness, as well as active and retired dancers enjoying their craft. Altogether it is a healthy mix of upbeat, friendly, supportive people. When I am there, the problems of the world drop away. And when I leave, I feel exhilarated and ready for anything. Jeannie H.

Sergei is the man!!!!!! We absolutely LOVED working with Sergei every week. It was so sad when our…read moretime was over and we didn't get to spend our weekly visits with him! I surprised my husband by getting a Groupon for Fred Astaire. I had been reading all of the brides saying how choreographing their first dance was one of the best decisions they made. I figured we could try out a lesson with the Groupon and decide if we wanted to fully commit or not. If worse came to worse, I figured we had fun taking a couple of lessons. Of course we loved our first appointment with Sergei and immediately booked our weekly sessions with him! We procrastinated a bit so we started about two months out from our wedding. When I called she kindly told me that we better get moving if we wanted to be ready for our wedding day. lol. We were looking to merge two songs together into one dance. We gave Sergei the time stamps of the songs and he arranged a beautiful dance for us with the perfect blend of both songs. We worked hard week after week and felt like contestants on dancing with the stars. Once Sergei suggested we video ourselves and watch it in between visits, it made a huge difference! It was very difficult remembering if we were doing the steps correctly just from our memory. We continued to add on new sections week after week until we finally put everything together. The week leading up to our wedding we did a practice run in front of everyone at the studio that night. It was very stressful with everyone watching us but fun. The whole idea is to get you used to people watching you perform the dance. I really wanted Sergei to be there on our wedding night like you would see your childhood dance instructor on the side of the stage at your dance recital. lol. He was there in spirit! My husband had a heart attack when he saw how ginormous my wedding gown was. He said, "how are we going to do this with this dress?!?!?!" I told him that I showed Sergei from the beginning and that we should be able to make it happen! lol I think we did Sergei proud! If it wasn't for COVID, we could have gone to show him our video by now! The studio itself is clean and spacious. There is TONS of parking. They have large open windows so you can see directly into the studio, which is fine. There are wall to wall mirrors where you are practicing. The bathrooms are clean. They have places for you to keep your things while you are dancing. You are practicing on the dance floor simultaneously with other dancers and their instructors. If you book the same time slot you are likely to see the same people week to week. That was our experience and we were able to meet new people that were all very kind and friendly. They even acknowledged both of our birthdays! They hug you hello and goodbye and it really feels like a family! We highly recommend Fred Astaire Dance Studio. They are all extremely professional and hard-working. Many of them (if not all of them) are still traveling for dance competitions themselves and have won many awards! They are excellent teachers! It's pretty easy to find a session that works with your schedule. They also work with you to pay for your lessons as you go versus having to pay one lump sum when you sign your contract. They put the music together for you and create a dance perfect for you and your dance partner. Sergei was kind, patient and professional as he worked with us to be the best dancers we could be. He is absolutely the best! Thank you so much, Sergei!

Big dance schools like to hold you back & put everyone into a single curricular mold. I was always bored and wanting more. All the other staff members & students here are knowledgeable and welcoming as well. Socials and practice parties are an added bonus. I've always loved Salsa, but now my interest in Bachata has been piqued as well. Do yourself a favor and try Sensual Bachata! Julie is a particularly great coach! She is always pushing and challenging me. Even when I am not sure of my abilities, she strives to get more out of me. This personalization is what I've always wanted and that other schools are lacking. In addition to the dance instruction, Julie is a blast to work with and we laugh the entire lesson. I'm learning so much, getting in a great workout, and having a great time while doing it! I highly recommend Salsa in the Suburbs and all it has to offer for your dancing desires.

I'd been to classes at another venue before, and while I enjoyed those classes, I do appreciate the different levels they have at Salsa in the Suburbs. They structure the classes well so that you can put together a routine by the time you finish up a course. The instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We went to one of the later classes in the series, so we needed some clarification on a part of the routine that we had missed in prior classes. One of the instructors, Craig, was great about showing us what we had missed and helping us both get it right. He didn't just show us what we had asked about; he asked us to do the entire routine to make sure we understood it all, which was great. I'm looking forward to attending the rest of the classes in this series as well as the higher-level classes.

He and his partner Brandie are a great team and compliment each other in the way they teach. I look forward to every lesson and if I could, I would take one every single day. Because the lessons are private, every lesson is tailor made just for me. It is truly amazing and I have seen how much I have improved in a very short time. They have implemented an outstanding protocol for safety against the Covid 19 virus. Since I have not been comfortable going to crowded dance halls to dance, having the option to take private lessons at a reasonable rate (with great discounts for packages) has made all the difference. I highly recommend FgDance Academy. They will work with all levels of skill and experience--from beginner to professional. And their guest workshops are amazing! You will love it.

He recommended coming in for an initial lesson to diagnosis my concerns.

There is a great dynamic with having Frankie and his partner Brandi so that me and my fiancé can get proper form and practice with skilled dancers. It's the best of both worlds. I cannot recommend FG dance academy enough!
