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.

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.

After asking for payment even before the lesson, i reluctantly agreed. She I orally changed my…read moreclass from the group tango to an introductory lesson so i had to pay twice. 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.

I was here for a bellydance class I signed up for. $10 a class- pretty reasonable. :)…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, as there are a few classes taking place at the same time. There was still plenty of parking. I was pleasantly greeted when I walked in. There is a table with a calendar of classes and other events. There are large windows into each studio so you can observe the classes and folding chairs. There is an area with a sofa, a few chairs and a coffee table. The furniture was very dated-maybe 1980's style, and there were ratty old ripped sheets covering the chairs. I was not impressed by this, but maybe they are getting ready to replace them, or they are just frugal. Not a big deal as I didn't come to sit. The floors in the studios are wood and very badly need to be redone. I guess I'm used to shiny wood floors in a studio I used to attend. Again, not a huge deal, they just could use a facelift. I guess the only complaint I have, is the mirrors on the walls are not joined together seamlessly. If you are watching the instructor or Yourself to make sure you are doing things correctly, you don't want to have a large seem of wood frame chopping you in half. You want to always see everything in the mirrors and not have that interruption. All in all, besides the facelift it needs, the classes looked fun and interesting, the building has a lot of room and the studio rooms were very large. The people I talked to all seemed very friendly, and the classes are priced reasonably.

The classes are Choreograghy based so you don't learn as many moves in one class but you will learn to put all the moves into a flowing dance. She is an excellent teacher. When you reach a reasonable level of competecy you can perform either with a troop or individually at one of the haflas she puts on. There are special workshops from time to time with nationally/internationally known dancers such as Ansuya, Alexandra King and Tamalyn Dallal - all were begintermediate level or more advanced- I took classes with all three teachers mentioned above and they were all excellent. The students were all female adults of all ages and sizes. Very nice friendly groups at every class I attended. The facility has two large rooms and a smaller room. The larger rooms have large mirrors accross the entire front wall and Wood floors, although I suspect they are not the easier on your feet raised wood floors. There is a good sized waiting area with comfortable seating outside the class rooms. There are windows that let in natural light and some facing out to the waiting area. The place is well lit inside and out. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot which faces a busy street and your classmates will be going out to their cars at the same time.

We started lessons at this studio because we got a package of lessons for Christmas. Well, we are…read moreso thrilled that we were gifted the package from this studio specifically. I have taken dance lessons before at other studios, but my boyfriend was a beginner. I am seriously SHOCKED at the progress my boyfriend has made in such a short period of time. He learned far more in our first 5 lessons than I learned on my own as a beginner in 10 lessons. Paul (our instructor) has such a clear and consicise way of teaching steps that work in multiple dances. We have since purchased a package in order to continue learning because we learned basic steps plus turns etc. for 5 dance styles in 5 lessons. The cost was less than other local studios and I was beyond pleased with our progress. I wish I could give 6 stars instead of 5 honestly. Courteous, professional, extremely knowledgeable staff. I am so thankful that we found this studio and am telling everyone I know that if they want to learn to dance, as a couple, or as a single person, this is the place to be.

The establishment is in a big plaza, a dance studio, with lots of parking. We got there about 6 minutes early however it wasn't necessary, there's some chairs when you walk in to sit & wait until it's time to start, or if you need to change your shoes. They have two water fountains if you get thirsty and a unisex bathroom. We got to meet Brian who was the instructor, he separated the class in two since there was a few people who where more advanced. We stayed in the beginners side, Brian began by showing us the first steps, then 2nd and then began to put both together with our partner after two rounds we began to switch off partners and continue our steps but with different partners, I believed this happened because someone was there without a partner so that was the only way to assure everyone had a chance to practice, towards the end we added a 3rd step and then continued to rotate partners and practice all steps together to music, it ended up being about a full hour, it was definitely worth even as someone who grew up dancing salsa for my whole life this was a nice way to make sure I knew all the basic and beginners steps. We had a great time learning, even if you don't want to go out dancing all the time it's nice to know the basics and just enjoy yourself. I think we will come back and try the bachata class on Fridays or come back again to see if we learn something more advanced in Salsa in the future, regardless it's definitely worth doing for fun, or you can always sign up for private one on one lessons with Brian!
