⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars… and Then Some!
I had the pleasure of taking demo dance classes on Monday and Tuesday at Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Cypress, and I can honestly say… they made me feel good, just like the song says! 💃❤️
From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed. The facilities are absolutely top-notch, and the entire staff and instructors are so warm, friendly, and professional.
And then there was Ferg, my fabulous instructor! Somehow, I think fate knew exactly what it was doing when it led me to him. I wouldn’t have changed him for anyone else.
What I loved most was his teaching method. Ferg literally led me onto the dance floor by the hand, explained the steps and movements, and taught me what to expect from him as the leader so I could learn how to be a good follower. He paid attention to how I naturally responded to the twists, turns, steps, and counting. He knew when to offer a respectful observation, when to make a suggestion, and—my favorite part—when to tell me I was doing a great job.
And he definitely put me to the test! 😂 He squeezed my dancing inner self to the extreme. We danced, I messed up, I blamed HIM (because… negativity jar! 😂—our little inside joke), and we laughed about it.
But beyond the dancing, what really stayed with me was how good they made me feel. I felt encouraged, challenged, welcomed, and genuinely happy.
Sometimes you walk through a door and simply know you were meant to be there. That’s how I felt at Fred Astaire Cypress.
Five stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you’ve ever thought about learning to dance, this is the school to enroll in. 💃✨
Thank you, Ferg, and thank you to the entire Fred Astaire team for making my first experience so special!
