Reviews
I had an introductory lesson with Ferg and he was so helpful and kind.
I started attending Fred Astaire on August 21, 2026, during one of their Open House Dance Parties, and I absolutely love the atmosphere, the friends I went with and made, and most importantly, my dance instructor Ferg. He’s a professional dancer from Europe, and I can honestly say he’s incredible. I highly recommend this studio—you won’t be disappointed. I had been wanting to come here since after Covid, and I finally made it happen. Don’t wait like I did. I had given up dancing 35 years ago, gained a lot of weight, and was stiff and in pain. Just after three lessons with Ferg, I’ve noticed a real difference, and I couldn’t be more proud. Ferg promised he would help change me, and it’s clearly showing! I’m truly grateful to Ferg and everyone at Fred Astaire Dance Studio!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars… and Then Some!
I had the pleasure of taking demo dance classes on Monday and Tuesday at Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Cypress, and I can honestly say… they made me feel good, just like the song says! 💃❤️
From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed. The facilities are absolutely top-notch, and the entire staff and instructors are so warm, friendly, and professional.
And then there was Ferg, my fabulous instructor! Somehow, I think fate knew exactly what it was doing when it led me to him. I wouldn’t have changed him for anyone else.
What I loved most was his teaching method. Ferg literally led me onto the dance floor by the hand, explained the steps and movements, and taught me what to expect from him as the leader so I could learn how to be a good follower. He paid attention to how I naturally responded to the twists, turns, steps, and counting. He knew when to offer a respectful observation, when to make a suggestion, and—my favorite part—when to tell me I was doing a great job.
And he definitely put me to the test! 😂 He squeezed my dancing inner self to the extreme. We danced, I messed up, I blamed HIM (because… negativity jar! 😂—our little inside joke), and we laughed about it.
But beyond the dancing, what really stayed with me was how good they made me feel. I felt encouraged, challenged, welcomed, and genuinely happy.
Sometimes you walk through a door and simply know you were meant to be there. That’s how I felt at Fred Astaire Cypress.
Five stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you’ve ever thought about learning to dance, this is the school to enroll in. 💃✨
Thank you, Ferg, and thank you to the entire Fred Astaire team for making my first experience so special!

First lesson was fun and the team was very welcoming and made us feel at home. Looking forward to many more lessons
My husband and I tried Fred Astaire's dance studio out just for fun. We are total beginners. Ferg was our instructor. He was wonderdul. He totally made us feel relaxed and comfortable. After, we told our adult children about our date night experience and they were so supportive! Can't wait for the next lesson!
My husband and I first came to a class using a gift certificate from a friend, and we’ve now been here a year and a half — what an incredible experience it’s been.
In the beginning, I felt awkward, self‑conscious, and totally out of my element, but the instructors were endlessly positive and encouraging. With that kind of support, it’s impossible not to look forward to coming back week after week.
I’ve grown so much individually, and my husband and I have grown together too — we dance, we laugh at our mistakes, and we keep getting better. The instructors are very experienced in knowing how to tailor lessons to accommodate each student's learning style. Perfect for my creative mind and my husband's engineer brain!
This studio is overflowing with encouragement, skill, smiles, and truly top‑notch instruction. It’s been such a gift to be part of it.

If you have an interest in learning to ballroom dance socially or competitively, the Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Cypress is a FABULOUS place to learn!
My husband and I first enrolled at the Fred Astaire - Cypress studio in January 2024.
I had no dance or related activity experience (i.e. drill team, cheerleading, band, gymnastics, etc.). Learning something as interesting and challenging as ballroom dancing is not easy at 68 years old. However, the last fourteen months have been a wonderful experience for me.
The studio atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming to everyone that steps through the studio doors. Additionally, the professional dance instructors are superb!
As a student, I can unequivocally state that each instructor is experienced and knowledgeable. I believe each of them can teach anyone to dance. Plus, they make it so much fun to learn.
If you’re considering taking lessons, sign up for an Introductory lesson, today and be ready to fall in love with dance!!

It’s been two incredible years since I embarked on my dance journey, and what a ride it has been! Not only am I dancing socially, but I’m also preparing for something extraordinary in 2026. This year, I’ll be traveling to Las Vegas for my first national dance competition. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my dance family, especially my instructors, Barnabas and Magui.
It has been a great experience here with ferg and hector! They help with my physical needs and getting more motion in body!! My posture is improving so much!! My hips are like a belly dancer now ! God bless both of them and I'm super excited for the future while i take my first steps into my bronze level. Im a senior, and i recommend anybody to come and dance. The environment is super friendly and welcoming, i feel my body mind and heart is like a feather after i do a session!! I cant recommend enough!♥️

Which Dance Style
Suits You Best?
Regardless of your age, dancing ability or dance preferences, you’ve come to the right place: Fred Astaire Dance Studios! We would love to help instruct you in either the International or American Ballroom Dance Styles, or both!
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.
BENEFITS OF DANCE
