Our Incredible Dance Journey at Fred Astaire Dance Studio Port St. Lucie: A Highly Recommended Experience!
I wanted to surprise my wife with dance classes for her birthday, and after some searching, I finally found Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Port St. Lucie. I'd spoken with other dance schools over the phone, but none of them truly impressed me enough to commit. Making the trip to Fred Astaire, however, changed everything. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt genuinely welcomed. I had a lot of questions, and every single one was answered thoroughly, making me eager to give dance lessons a try. Keep in mind, I had ZERO dance skills and typically prefer heavy music – this was purely a gift for my wife!
I initially paid for the introductory classes, and after just our first lesson, we were hooked and signed up for the next tier. We've since attended a few dance socials and even an outing, and I can honestly say that for both my wife and me, this has been a fantastic decision. We're now over two months in, and we absolutely love it! The people and the environment at Fred Astaire are truly special, and that's what truly matters.
Our instructors—Tanya, Michael, Rafi, Angel, and Isabella—are absolutely incredible. If they can teach someone like me, who has "three left legs," then they can definitely teach anyone! I highly recommend coming to Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Port St. Lucie and nowhere else. It's been a truly transformative and enjoyable experience for us.

Love the team at Fred Astaire! They are all so friendly and warm. Tanya is so lovely; Rafi is an excellent instructor and so patient with his students! The love for dance is shown here. Amazing people, amazing lessons, amazing events. Keep up the fabulous work!
Younger instructors and amazing group of students. Diversified schedule to accommodate the students needs.
If anyone try different places and think they can’t learn how to dance, try then this group of people you not be disappointed.

Rafael has been the best dance instructor! He choreographed our wedding dance on short notice. He is the best. Thank you so much!
We cannot thank Angel enough for the incredible experience he gave us leading up to our wedding! From the moment we walked into Fred Astaire Dance Studio, Angel made us feel comfortable, confident, and excited about our first dance. His patience, creativity, and attention to detail transformed two complete beginners into a couple who felt graceful and connected on the dance floor.
Angel took the time to understand our style, our song, and what we wanted to express during our first dance. He choreographed something that was both elegant and uniquely “us.” What started as a fun project turned into one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding planning process.
On our wedding day, our first dance was one of the most magical moments, and we felt prepared, relaxed, and truly in the moment. Our guests were blown away, and we owe it all to Angel.
If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also passionate, kind, and genuinely invested in your story, we wholeheartedly recommend Angel. He helped make our big day even more special, and we’ll cherish the experience forever!
If you are on the fence about dance lessons for your big day, do it! You will not regret it.
Thank you, Angel and Fred Astaire Company!!

My husband and I have been going to FADS for 5 months now and we are so happy we did! Angel has been the best instructor we could have hoped for, and Rafael’s group lessons were so much fun! We HIGHLY recommend giving it a try. Get a bit out of your comfort zone and pop-in for a group lesson (usually around 6:45 PM) to give it a shot (single or couple). We are grateful to have met so many wonderful people there!
Rafael was absolutely amazing! He made learning fun, supportive, and inspiring every step of the way. He went above and beyond from teaching us the choreography and being apart of my court. He helped make the night memorable, I’m glad I had him as a teacher!
Me and my fiance have learned so much in the last 2 weeks that we have been working with Rafael! Everyone there is so nice and helpful and encouraging. We were true beginners for the dance lessons and we have been so happy doing these lessons and we are excited for our wedding dance lessons ❤️❤️ highly recommend this place and everyone on the Fred Astaire team!

Suits You Best?

Argentine Tango
Although the exact origins of the dance (and the world) are lost to legend, Tango originated in Argentina in the late 1800s
Bolero
Classic Bolero, introduced in Spain in 1780, is truly the “dance of love”, and is performed to music featuring a constant beat of drums.
Cha Cha
A Cuban dance derived from the Mambo and Rumba; its name comes from the rhythm developed by a syncopation of the fourth beat.
East Coast Swing
East Coast Swing evolved from the Lindy Hop in the 1940s, and is perhaps the most famous American folk dance.
Foxtrot
In 1912, Vaudeville dancer Harry Fox was the first to use the “slow step”, danced to an exhilarating new style of music – ragtime.
Hustle
A more modern entry, this disco style was most popular in the nightclub scene from the late 1960s through the 1970s.
Jive
This style evolved from popular American dances of the 1930s such as Jitterbug, Boogie-Woogie, Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, etc.
Mambo
First introduced in Latin America in the 1930s, Mambo attained instantaneous popularity in American film and pop culture.
Merengue
Lore has this dance originating at a royal fiesta honoring a returning war hero, in either Haiti or the Dominican Republic.
Paso Doble
This dance dates back many centuries, and was originally intended for use at bullfights when the matador was victorious in the arena.
Quickstep
The Quickstep has its roots in 1920s New York City Ragtime, and only later became a partner dance.
Rumba
Characterized by a smooth, subtle hip motion and a heavy walking step, Rumba first invaded the U.S. in the early 1930s.
Salsa
Salsa combines passion, energy, sensuous style and joy, and has its origins in the Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba.
Samba
Of Brazilian origin, this festive serenade features a repetitive melody, continually interrupted by the strumming of a guitar.
Tango
The romantic Tango descended from an early Spanish folk dance, and features intriguing asymmetrical and sophisticated dance patterns.
Viennese Waltz
The Viennese Waltz was first danced by European royalty in the 1800s, and was deemed startling due to the close proximity of the dancers.
Waltz
The Waltz dates back to Bavaria 400 years ago, but it was not introduced into “society” until 1812, when it first appeared in English ballrooms.
West Coast Swing
With its sophisticated style and easy adaptation to contemporary rock music, this 1950s style quickly gained popularity in the U.S.
