\"The<\/a>
The first step is always the hardest…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Welcome! You\u2019ve taken the plunge and stepped inside our dance studio. Probably, you\u2019ve been greeted by a smiling face at the front desk, asking \u201cHow can we make you smile?\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s our focus. Making you smile. Making you happy. Making sure your life is infused with joy.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what happens here at Fred Astaire Dance Studio. You come in and step onto the dance floor, and your instructor welcomes you with a huge smile and an open heart and leads you step by step to learn how to dance.<\/p>\n

You stand tall and proud, learn your frame, learn how to work with another person with grace and style and confidence.<\/p>\n

The music starts. You try one tentative step, then another, and before you know it you are effortlessly gliding through the moves on autopilot.<\/p>\n

Our private lessons are a great way to make quick progress, and then when you attend our group lessons \u2013 sometimes right after your private! \u2013 and our dance parties, you practice with other warm and welcoming friendly folks and that\u2019s where the fun happens.<\/p>\n

The hardest part of learning to dance is taking the first step into our studio, but you\u2019ve already faced that fear and won.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019re here, you realize there\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about, no one ever feels like a fool, and dancing is a fun way to meet new friends, get exercise, and find steady happiness.<\/p>\n

Our teachers are consummate professionals who love teaching you to dance. They\u2019ll shake your hand, ask about you and your interests, and get to know you and what brought you to dance.<\/p>\n

Either your teacher will become your dance partner, or you can come with a friend or life partner to learn to dance together. Not having a partner is no barrier to dance.<\/p>\n

While the music plays, we laugh, we are at ease, we have the best time.<\/p>\n

And then, you\u2019ll be surprised by what unfolds. Many of our students become lifelong friends. We have a community here. After group lessons and dance parties, many students continue the fun by going for a meal together, talking late into the night.<\/p>\n

The fun, the energy, the friendliness, that\u2019s what dancing at Fred Astaire is all about. We\u2019re so glad you\u2019ve joined us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
