Aleksandr did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable dancing. It was fun to see how much growth me made in 6 lessons! He was patient and made learning the steps very easy by giving relatable visuals.
Erin Beckett
Dance Student
I cannot recommend Fred Astaire Pewaukee enough. My husband and I have never been dancers—we never even get on the dance floor at weddings—so it's very out of character to start dance lessons. I am so glad we did. We have so much fun dancing together at our lessons and when we practice at home. I would have never thought in a million years that it would be something I would enjoy so much. I'm actually looking forward to attending weddings and dancing "in the wild." Everyone at the studio is very friendly and welcoming, so if you've never danced before and you're worried about giving it a try, just do it. You will not regret it.
Marlena Frau
Dance Student
Great studio! Knowledgeable and friendly instructors. I came all the way from Colorado just because I wanted to work with world champions Ariel and Zachary. It was more than worth it. Highly recommend
Sandy Stoffer
Dance Student
Ballroom dancing has always been a big interest of mine. So, I have been extremely lucky to have found an amazing teacher, and Fred Astaire family. They have not only made me feel welcome, but confident in myself, and to trust the learning process as well. I am very happy and excited!! So if anyone is looking for a great learning experience, and want to learn to dance. Without a doubt, I recommend you check them out!!
Christine D.
Dance Student
My husband and I have so enjoyed taking dance lessons here at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Pewaukee. The instructors are amazing and the dance parties are also an excellent experience. Everyone is so kind and helpful and if you’ve never danced before you’ll be made to feel welcome immediately. Don’t hesitate get your dance lessons today! You’ll be so glad you did!
Bella Rose
Dance Student
Had such a good experience learning to dance with my Fiancé! Ariel was such a great teacher she made us feel confident and gave us helpful tips the whole way through. I would HIGHLY recommend any couple take classes at Fred Astaire. We will for sure be back after our wedding.
Lisa Walczak
Dance Student
The staff & clients at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Pewaukee are very friendly and welcoming! The teachers are great! They customize their teaching to fit each of my kids ability levels. My kids are loving ballroom dancing!!
Jill H.
Dance Student
We are not an old couple, but certainly considers “older” and we came in with ZERO dance abilities. Came in with a Groupon and decided that it was fun, good exercise and something great to be able to do so we don’t embarrass our kids. So, we signed up for a few extra lessons. We are having lots of fun learning how to dance. Our instructor - Caroline & Alexander (Sasha?) have been extremely patient with us as we both have 2 left feet and stumble over each other. We have seen nothing but grace from them as we learn and we are learning! But most of all we are having fun and gaining a bit of confidence.
Mary Dodd
Dance Student
My husband and I decided to take a group lessons for something different to do in the winter months and to improve our dance skills for our daughter's wedding. What a great decision! Naomi has not only been a fantastic instructor, but her personality makes the lessons light and fun. It has been a great way for us to have fun together and connect. I cannot say enough about what a great experience it has been for us! Highly recommend this studio.
Susan C.
Dance Student
My husband and I never danced before and he was definitely a reluctant participant in the beginning. We are having a blast. We love all of the instructors; they are extremely patient and encouraging. The parties and group lessons are also a great way to practice and improve. It’s a good way to get the “grumps” out.
Royale A.
Dance Student
Hi, my name is Dymytrii. Me and my husband to be started to take some lessons to prepare for the first dance at our wedding, because I personally have two left feet. Our teachers are truly amazing, great support and professionalism. Yaroslavchik and Roma (hope, I spelled their names correctly). Very friendly atmosphere and lovely community. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed and making this process easy! Me and my darling would like to continue dancing after our honeymoon!
Tyson B.
Dance Student
We were complete beginners and had never danced before. Every lesson was not only informative, but also enjoyable and fun! We always looked forward to our lessons. We went from barely being able to do a box to doing a Viennese waltz with intricate spins and lifts. We worked with Kate, Bogdan, and Leeza. They were all so amazing. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Special thanks to Bogdan for creating such a beautiful wedding routine for us and for his patience and expertise while teaching it to us. Thank you to Leeza for helping us practice the routine and building our confidence. It was truly such a pleasure working with everyone. We will always look back fondly on our time with this studio.

A Life-Changing Experience at Fred Astaire Menomonee Falls By Janet B. I promised myself I would share how truly transformative my experience has been at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Menomonee Falls. The owners, Magdalena and Shem, are more than just instructors—they are on a heartfelt mission to make a difference in people’s lives. For me, dance has become more than movement; it’s therapy. After riding an emotional roller coaster, the guided support I’ve received here has offered a powerful, professional path to healing. Honestly, I couldn’t have found a more effective or joyful prescription. Physically, I’ve gained better balance, greater flexibility, and stronger core muscles—all essential for fall prevention. Mentally, I’m sharper than ever. Learning routines, posture, styling, and choreography is stimulating and fun—and might even help delay cognitive decline or dementia. And emotionally? The connections I’ve made through dance have lifted me out of isolation and brought joy back into my life. If you’re even thinking about trying dance—do it. Yes, it costs more than a community center class. But when you compare it to the cost of staying home alone, losing your mobility, or someday needing memory care, this is an investment in your health, your heart, and your happiness. Quality isn’t cheap. And the cheap stuff? It’s not the same quality. This is worth every step.

Roma is amazing, I recommend dancing lessons here!!!
Dynah E.
Dance Student
My husband and I have learned so much from Oscar and Olena. They have been our instructors for the last couple of years. They helped choreographed our first dance for our wedding. What we love about them is how patient they are with us and how amazing they are at teaching us so many different dance styles and elements. Highly recommend them both as instructors!
B Berz
Dance Student
I am now going into my 13th of dancing at this studio The current owner, Dymytrii, is a world-class competitor and coach who clearly cares about his clients. My teachers have changed over the years but they continue to be outstanding and raise my skill level Live it here!!
Debra W.
Dance Student
I have been at this studio for several years and it is GREAT! All of the staff and instructors are excellent, welcoming and terrific dancers and they make us all feel WE are good dancers, too!
Corey F.
Dance Student
Great fun for couples lessons. Sasha was a fantastic instructor for me and my wife.
Samara R.
Dance Student
My husband and I took dance lessons with Johnny at Fred Astaire in Lakeview to prepare for our first dance at our wedding, and we had a great experience. Johnny was easy to work with and really took the time to understand our style and what we were comfortable with. He choreographed a dance that felt like “us,” and the lessons were a fun part of the lead-up to the wedding. After a few weeks of practice, we felt confident on our big day, and our guests loved the dance. We’d definitely recommend Fred Astaire in Lakeview, especially working with Johnny!
Christian K.
Dance Student
The Fred Astaire Chicago Lakeview team gave us wonderful lessons this year ahead of our wedding. Without their help (Natalie in particular), we would not have been nearly as prepared for our first dance. As someone who is not great at dancing, I was able to relax and enjoy myself when it came time to dance at our wedding.
Caitlin S.
Dance Student
They taught us the sweetest first dance for our wedding!
Dajana S.
Dance Student
This is a beautiful dance studio with high class, professional, knowledgeable and engaging dance instructors who deliver the highest quality instruction in a fun, energetic and simple way! They are comitted to serving their community and can help anyone learn how to dance, no matter their skill level! From personalized wedding dances to social dancing and beyond, whatever your dancing needs are, they are the right people to help you. Take the first/hardest step (which is walking through the door) and let them handle the rest!
Bella L.
Dance Student
I absolutely love this dance studio! Both Sergio and Illia are amazing instructors – they’re kind, patient, and make every class so much fun. It’s a great place to spend time, learn something new, and just enjoy yourself. The energy here is always positive, and dancing with them really helps me de-stress after a long day. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place with good vibes and wonderful people.
