We’ve been working with Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Beaverton to prepare for our wedding dance, and it’s been such a great experience. The instructors are not only incredibly kind, but also truly skilled at teaching. They find creative ways to connect with students and help us really understand the steps—something we’ve appreciated as beginners!
There are plenty of class options throughout the week, which has made it easy to reinforce what we’ve learned in our private lessons. The group classes are a fun and welcoming environment, and everyone we’ve met has been super friendly.
Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or just want to try something new, I’d absolutely recommend this studio. We feel confident, look great, and are actually having a lot of fun in the process!

We've been taking lessons there since they opened up! Very experienced instructors and also a relaxing environment!!
We are so happy to have joined the Fred Astaire Dance Studio! My husband and I decided to take private lessons for our wedding dance and we could not be happier with our choice. As complete beginners, group classes and Friday parties were a great way of gaining more confidence on the dance floor and helped us figure out which dance style we wanted to focus on. Megan did a wonderful job working with us on a dance routine that was perfectly choreographed to our song of choice. The end result exceeded any expectations we originally had. Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime!
My husband and I are having a wonderful time learning ballroom dancing. Sami is a warm, patient, knowledgeable instructor! She, Kacey and Megan have all been so supportive, and we really enjoy the individual and group classes. Our fellow students have also been great to dance with and get to know.

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.

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.
