Fred Astaire Dance Studio Lake Oswego Reviews
See what our students say about dance lessons at our Lake Oswego studio.
Why Students Love It
Fantastic studio. I've been going here for six months now. They are a close-knit community that immediately makes you feel welcome. Alex and Jessi founded this studio in 2010 and have been teaching here ever since. They have built it into an impressive business.
All of the instructors are top-notch. Whether you've never stepped on a dance floor before or you're a veteran pro, you will learn something.

My fiancee and I have been dancing here for the last 6 months. It originally started as a fun date night but soon turned into a hobby with how fun and approachable the instructors make the dance lessons. All the instructors are super knowledgeable and are able to communicate that knowledge to anyone. If they can turn me into a dancer they can turn anyone
I came to FADS for physical therapy after having amputations on both my feet. It turned out to be so much more. The FADS family in Lake Oswego and Beaverton are phenomenal. I misuse the word family because that is what we are. It starts with the owners, passed down through the instructors, and carried on with the students. There is such a community of respect, kindness, and simple silliness here. It is an environment of being in a safe place to learn to dance, flub it up, laugh at yourself, and enjoy others who will support you, encourage you, and triump you through your personal victories. OMGoodness, Chris, my instructor, has the patience of a saint. I came to him as a hot mess that led into something I call my happy hour. Trust their process. They know what they're doing. Not only are they certified instructors, but they also compete regularly. The level and knowledge of their expertise here is outstanding.
My boyfriend and I are having so much fun learning Salsa from our instructor Chris. Chris is super knowledgeable and professional while still keeping our lessons fun. He was able to get my boyfriend and I dancing together in sync in no time. We grow more confident dancing together every session. I will say the best way to get your bang for your buck is practice often outside of your private sessions and take advantage of their group classes and practice parties. Dance class has become our favorite part of the week and we look forward to many many more classes and private lessons to come.
Took some lessons here for our first dance for our wedding and it was an all around great experience!
We got help with everything from tips on specific moves to selecting the right mix of steps to fit our song.
Maile was really fun to work with and we absolutely rocked it on our wedding day!
Thanks again to Maile and Chris for helping us along the way.
