Aaron is a master at teaching dance! My fiancé & I love learning to dance together at the Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Clearwater. We are beginner dance students. Aaron is a fun, patient, and a wonderful instructor. His excellent teaching techniques help us look good, even though we have no clue what we are doing. Jose is the master of music mashups and is customizing a song for our wedding dance. The studio is spacious, clean, newly remodeled. Lots of free events offered throughout the week. Friday evening dances welcome anyone to practice with other students and instructors. We are having a GREAT time. Thank you Aaron and Jose!

My fiancé, Nathan, and I recently booked the wedding dance package at Clearwater Fred Astaire Dance Studio, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! We had zero dance experience and a total of four left feet between us, but thanks to the amazing team here, we’ve learned so much.
Our instructor, Jose, has been an absolute gem. He’s incredibly patient and kind, breaking down each step in a way that makes it easy to understand and follow. His teaching style is perfect for beginners like us, and we’ve felt supported every step of the way.
We couldn’t decide on just one song for our wedding dance, so the studio went above and beyond by editing two songs together for us. Not only did they do an amazing job with the edit, but they also perfectly matched the choreography to the new mix, making it feel seamless and special.
Every other teacher we’ve encountered has been just as helpful and encouraging. They genuinely want you to succeed and have fun while doing it. The package they offer is also a great deal, especially considering the personalized attention and care we’ve received.
If you’re looking for a dance studio that makes learning enjoyable and stress-free, Clearwater Fred Astaire Dance Studio is the place to go. We can’t wait to show off our new moves at our wedding, thanks to the incredible team here!
