Reviews
My boyfriend and I have been dancing at Fred Astaire in Greenfield for nearly three years now and we absolutely love it! The studio is beautiful, the lessons are fun, but the people at the studio are what truly make it memorable. We absolutely adore our instructors and the studio owner. They are endlessly positive, kind, skilled, and encouraging. This studio is home to a truly wonderful community, and we love being part of it. 💕
Been dancing here for 3 years now, instructors are all very nice! We’ve had 3 different sets and they are all very technical and have improved our skills greatly. If you put in the work, you will see the results!
Additionally, I’d like to think you build relationships with the other students who are all very supportive and are now friends. You can walk up to anyone and ask questions, everyone is receptive and the instructors do a wonderful job fostering this environment.
Finally, the parties held are wonderful for watching other couples and the instructors dance to find skills you want to learn and goals to work towards. If you need convincing - look up Dymytrii Honcharov and Veronika Shapar on YouTube you can see the world-class winning skill of the owners and the type of endless limits that can be achieved!

Which Dance Style
Suits You Best?
Regardless of your age, dancing ability or dance preferences, you’ve come to the right place: Fred Astaire Dance Studios! We would love to help instruct you in either the International or American Ballroom Styles, or both!
Argentine Tango
Although the exact origins of the dance (and the world) are lost to legend, Tango originated in Argentina in the late 1800s
Bolero
Classic Bolero, introduced in Spain in 1780, is truly the “dance of love”, and is performed to music featuring a constant beat of drums.
Cha Cha
A Cuban dance derived from the Mambo and Rumba; its name comes from the rhythm developed by a syncopation of the fourth beat.
East Coast Swing
East Coast Swing evolved from the Lindy Hop in the 1940s, and is perhaps the most famous American folk dance.
Foxtrot
In 1912, Vaudeville dancer Harry Fox was the first to use the “slow step”, danced to an exhilarating new style of music – ragtime.
Hustle
A more modern entry, this disco style was most popular in the nightclub scene from the late 1960s through the 1970s.
Jive
This style evolved from popular American dances of the 1930s such as Jitterbug, Boogie-Woogie, Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, etc.
Mambo
First introduced in Latin America in the 1930s, Mambo attained instantaneous popularity in American film and pop culture.
Merengue
Lore has this dance originating at a royal fiesta honoring a returning war hero, in either Haiti or the Dominican Republic.
Paso Doble
This dance dates back many centuries, and was originally intended for use at bullfights when the matador was victorious in the arena.
Quickstep
The Quickstep has its roots in 1920s New York City Ragtime, and only later became a partner dance.
Rumba
Characterized by a smooth, subtle hip motion and a heavy walking step, Rumba first invaded the U.S. in the early 1930s.
Salsa
Salsa combines passion, energy, sensuous style and joy, and has its origins in the Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba.
Samba
Of Brazilian origin, this festive serenade features a repetitive melody, continually interrupted by the strumming of a guitar.
Tango
The romantic Tango descended from an early Spanish folk dance, and features intriguing asymmetrical and sophisticated dance patterns.
Viennese Waltz
The Viennese Waltz was first danced by European royalty in the 1800s, and was deemed startling due to the close proximity of the dancers.
Waltz
The Waltz dates back to Bavaria 400 years ago, but it was not introduced into “society” until 1812, when it first appeared in English ballrooms.
West Coast Swing
With its sophisticated style and easy adaptation to contemporary rock music, this 1950s style quickly gained popularity in the U.S.
