I always look forward to my dance lessons here! Riah, my instructor, always makes me laugh, and the friendly staff including the owner, Amy, make me feel welcome and taken care of every time I come in. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced dancer, this is the perfect place to learn from an incredibly gifted and generous community.

Fred Astaire will forever be my home away from home! The instructors are knowledgeable and professional! They are the welcome mat at your front door and the last thing you see before you leave for the night! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and makes any beginner feel comfortable! The owners, Amy and Tavier, have truly brought dance back to Kansas City! I’ll be forever grateful for how dance has changed me! It’s truly a place that fosters growth and challenges people beyond the status quo! Let dance transform your life, just as it has mine, and give you the mental clarity you so deserve! I hope God blesses Fred Astaire Kansas City in all the best ways possible!

As one of the "OGs" of this studio, I feel qualified to give a review. 5 Gold stars. A++. Top Tier teaching and community building. I had never had any formal dance lessons and now I feel like I could be confident on any dance floor. This review could be several pages long but I keep it simple, short and sweet. Don't hesitate to try out a class or two to get you started!

Signed up for wedding dance lessons with my partner. The teachers and staff are amazing, I was quickly able to build up my skill and dance confidence from basically nothing. Having successfully impressed at the wedding with our dance (choreographed by Hannah!), the best part was certainly the time spent learning and practicing in the dance studio! Cannot say enough about all the people you will meet at Fred Astaire, will certainly find myself back for some Friday dance parties!

I started dancing here to learn a wedding dance in January 2025, and have since begun the Bronze program. Dancing at this studio is the highlight of my day, every day. The environment created by both instructors and students is friendly, supportive, and energetic from the moment you walk in through the front doors. I decided to continue my dance journey through the beginner, social foundations and bronze programs since then, and the experience has been invaluable. I highly recommend Fred Astaire Dance Studios in KC to anyone, and I cannot speak highly enough! If you are on the fence about taking lessons or stopping in for a dance party, just do it! You won't regret it.

Still have questions?

We’ve got you.

Our team will be notified as soon as you purchase, and we’ll give you a call right away to schedule your consultation!

Due to wedding couples’ typically hectic schedules, we recommend getting started at least 5-6 months before your wedding. This will give you plenty of time for scheduling lessons (for you, and possibly your parents and wedding party), and to truly feel confident with your dance. Of course, we can help couples who have less time available, too. Don’t put it off – contact us today to get started.

We offer special introductory packages that help you create a dream Wedding Dance that’s a great value. Beyond that, we will tailor a program to meet your individual goals and budget. Lessons with just the two of you can range from a few simple dance steps to a fully-choreographed dance. We can include your wedding party, for a YouTube-worthy routine. And including your parents (or special friends or family members who will be standing in that traditional role) in your Wedding Dance can be a wonderful way to show your love and appreciation. It’s totally up to you!
