If you want to learn to dance, you will not find a better place in all of Houston than Fred Astaire Champions. I have been taking lessons for 9 months, and it has been the most life-enriching and FUN experience! The studio is well-organized and run very professionally, and they offer a great variety of classes, from waltz to salsa and everything in between. You can choose which dances you want to learn in your private lessons, and which of the Mon-Fri night group classes you want to attend (it’s easy to fit into a busy schedule, since they are open in the afternoons and evenings.) They use a level system that is easy to understand, so that you can actually see and measure your progress from week to week. There are also lots of fun optional events— like competitions, stage performances, and themed parties— going on all throughout the year. Most importantly, the instructors are FANTASTIC, both in their skills and talents as professional dancers, and in their ability to teach students effectively at all levels. They are so good at meeting each student at their current level of ability, offering constructive and positive feedback, and challenging us to grow. My private lesson teachers, Olga and Yiannis, have taught me so much in such a short time, and I have loved every minute learning from them. The culture at the studio is incredibly welcoming, supportive, joyful, and truly feels like family. If you’re wanting to learn to dance, don’t hesitate— this is the place. My only regret is that I wish I had started sooner! 🙂
