My dad and I had a great time learning a waltz with Oksana! We came in only about 5 weeks before my wedding, and... everything went very smoothly. Oksana is lovely and professional. What a great experience!read more

I’ve been working with this studio for almost two years both with my husband in social dance and as a pro/am... competitor. Their attention to detail, level of service, and love of creating beautiful dancers is unparalleled. You are known, and you are pushed to become a graceful and balanced dancer. They give much more than steps, but a clear foundation of technique showing you the work it takes to look controlled, confident, and grounded—not uncertain and restricted on the dance floor. If you are looking for a personal experience and want to become a great ballroom dancer, this is where you should go.—Erin Parks3rd Place Fred Astaire World Championship American Smooth Pro/Am Bronzeread more

Never been, but it is owned and operated by two of my favorite people on the planet, if that counts for anything. Top... notch dancers that can teach you any style from a sweet first wedding dance to a scorching, competition-worthy tango. 💯❗read more

My wife and I had a dance lesson for a special occasion. Oksana and Dmitriy are both so enthusiastic about their work... and such patient instructors, I think they would set anyone at ease. Clearly they have been doing this forever. At moments when I was less confident (and I swear I did not telegraph it), she sensed it and responded with positive feedback. We had a wonderful time. They seem to be fantastic people performing work that is their calling. I'm sure this accounts for the large group of folks we watched finish up prior to our appointment. Positive recommendation.read more

We have a very small amount of basic dance experience and received a dance package as a gift. I wasn’t sure what to... expect in a private lesson having only done a few group lessons before. Dmitri was a wonderful instructor- he made us feel comfortable right away, gave clear easy to understand instructions, and was super encouraging and high energy. Already planning how to continue lessons after our gift lessons are used up.read more

My husband and I decided to learn a dance for our first dance, and we're so glad we chose Fred Astaire! Oksana was very... knowledgeable and skilled, and we had so much fun learning from her. The dance she choreographed for us was absolutely beautiful, and we received several compliments. We could not have learned our dance so quickly nor have had such a good time learning if it weren't for our amazing teacher! We would definitely recommend Fred Astaire and Oksana for anyone wanting to learn to dance!read more

Oksana was our dance instructor for almost a year as we took lessons and had a dance choreographed for our wedding. She... was so nice, but also a great instructor. As someone who was forced to take dance lessons as a kid, and hated them, I was nervous about dancing, but she made it so comfortable and fun, and never made me feel bad or awkward for making mistakes. Our dance at the wedding was beautiful and everyone complimented us on our dance skills, but we owe it all to Oksana! Thank you!read more

I can't say enough good things about Dmitriy and Oksana at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio. They're wonderful instructors... (knowledgable, helpful, kind, patient, and enthusiastic) and make the experience very enjoyable. If not for them, I don't think we would've spent the past 6 months learning and improving at ballroom dancing -- I'm very glad we found them as our teachers and I look forward to our lesson next week!read more

AMAZING experience so far here! My wife and I have no formal dance experience and we were both a little nervous. After... our first private session with Oksana, we were both blown away by her ability to coach us through the moves, set us up for success, and we left feeling GREAT about commiting to learning dance long-term! We can't wait to come back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ���read more

Sit on the couch and watch student after student come in and become instantaneously happier. The instruction is wonderful as well, but it is the pure magic of the place that keeps us coming back. ❤️❤️❤️read more
