My fiancé and I are learning our wedding dance here and we have had a wonderful time learning from Hannah! She’s put together a beautiful dance for us and has provided opportunities for us to learn other social dances. It’s been a GREAT experience!
L love everibody from Fred Astaire
Excellent instruction. Michelle is terrific and worked with us to gain confidence and have fun. Lessons are productive and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking to develop or improve their dancing skills.
My fiancé and I had an amazing time learning our first dance at Fred Astaire!! Michelle was our teacher, and she thoughtfully choreographed our first dance to make our wedding day extra special and meaningful! It was so nice to have lessons to look forward to, and it was a great way to have a date night in the midst of wedding craziness. We are so excited to show our friends and family everything we learned, and this experience was something we’ll remember forever!!!!
They helped my Fiancé and I with a first dance and were super fun to work with. We would Highly recommend them!
Ashley was AMAZING and made us feel like we could do this!! Great atmosphere and definitely will be taking more lessons!!!
Best in town 😉
My wife and I got a gift certificate for a single lesson. We had a wonderful time. We were welcomed in with warmth and enthusiasm and introduced to our instructor, Rya. Rya was great. He was very patient with us, explained everything in detail, and used several techniques to keep us relaxed so we could focus on learning. He exposed us to several basic dances during the 30 minute lesson. Well done!
5/5 stars!! My husband and I are not dancers and we wanted to look like we knew what we were doing during our first dance. We found Fred Astaire Dance Studio and took lessons with Hannah. She was amazing, very patient and funny. We're so happy we took lessons here and find it an invaluable experience. Our guests commented on our dance saying we looked professional! Thank you guys for helping us make our first dance unforgettable!!
I don’t normally do reviews but sometimes you do something in life that changes you for the better and it needs to be shared.
My wife and I wanted to learn something new and dance lessons had been on our list for a while. This led us to this studio. We had one lesson and then the next thing we knew we were doing private lessons a few times a week.
We did this about a year and learned so much in a relatively short amount of time. I feel like we could dance at any wedding or whatever occasion and put together a dance. We felt more well-round and a sense of accomplishment at our new skills.
I wish I could say the dancing, dance parties and outings were the best thing about this studio. The dancing was great but the people who run this place are amazing. The instructors are what made this experience so much more. All of them are so much fun and always your biggest fan. We loved all of them and way they created a “dance family” environment.
Our main instructor, Hannah was so much fun and was always pushing us to explore and excel. We love Hannah as a dance instructor and as a person.
Do yourself a favor and just go for one lesson and see what it’s all about. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Fred Astaire.

My wide Paige and I are having a blast. Ive always wanted to take dance classes and with Fred Astaire Dance Studio being up in Briarcliff, it was the perfect storm. Our instructor Hannah has been wonderful to work with as well as owners Tavier and Amy. Cant say enough good things about our journey. We have been taking lessons for 6 months and loving the fact that we can adjust and adapt to dance at all kinda of functions.
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!
Studio was beautiful, spacious and a really fun yet intentional vibe. Michele was simply an amazing teacher. Her positive attitude and fun spirit allowed us to quickly learn which was critical given our limited time being fro out of town. She is a special talent. Finishing our last lesson with Hanna was a nice blend as she focus on style to go with our footwork. They complimented each other very well. I felt like all the teachers were very professional. Thank you so much! We will send a video!! Cheers, Bill & Faith Waitsman
Hannah was very patient with us newbies. The in-person private lessons made all the difference. Going in to our wedding feeling confident and excited. We truly appreciate all Hannah did for us. Would definitely recommend classes or private lessons!!!
Had an absolute blast here. Michell helped us coordinate an awesome first dance for our wedding. We can’t wait to surprise our guests!!
My fiancée and I got some dance lessons before our big day and we absolutely loved how much the lessons helped! Riah was a fantastic teacher, and choreographed us a personalized dance that matched our song perfectly. Highly recommend.
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!
