Very caring and patient instructor. Loved it
Alice was fantastic and she made us feel comfortable as beginners.
Coral was so patient and I had so much fun!
I had a great time at Fred Astaire Dance Studios. My teacher was a great dancer! He was also polite and charming with a good sense of humor. He taught me simple steps for line dancing, Salsa, Rumba, and the Waltz. I left very happy! I will be back on April 3rd for line dancing with the group.
TL:DR 20 out of 10 stars would recommend
This review isn't for just Fred Astaire, but for Coral and Evan. They are such amazing teachers.
Be me; introverted, zero rhythm, an inability to remember more than two steps in a routine, and zero confidence to be on the dance floor. I was worried about being treated like I was working with a drill instructor. This was not the case.
Meet Evan and Coral. They were so patient, very thorough, and so much fun. They worked so hard to teach me and my wife various dance styles and eventually the dance routine to be used at our wedding. We wowed our wedding guests with our dance routine and gave us confidence to be on the dance floor all night. We owe this to Evan and Coral. If you are even remotely interested in dancing, but worried about how you get taught, this is the place for you.

Amazing people! Lessons are great. Instructors work with you to achieve what you want.
I want to thank this place for making me happy again! Almost 2 years ago, my mom had signed me up for some dance lessons here, and I thought it would be a cool experience. It wasn't just a cool experience, it was a life saving experience! I started out with lessons with Ashley and Jessi, and they really made me love dancing again. Plus, the other instructors who I know here are great! Julia the manager is super nice too! Please come to this place if you're looking for ballroom dancing in the Memorial area.
I am soo happy that I picked up the phone and called this studio for my wedding first dance lessons.
I spoke to Julia and signed up for the introductory special for my fiance and I. We're not great at dancing and wanted something more than just swaying to a slow song.
We got paired with Jessi, and I can't say enough great things about her. She was so welcoming, fun, patient, yet stern (got my fiance whipped into shape!) We loved having her!
We ended signing up for 4 lessons, and the great part is that we were able to go to the group lessons and their parties for free! All of the staff, instructors, and other dance members were so friendly and warm.
It was the best decision and we are so ready to perform at our wedding in a week and a half. We felt like family whenever we were there, and look forward to coming back even after the wedding is over to continue lessons because it was such a blast!

Which Dance Style
Suits You Best?

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.
