Do it big, do it right, and do it with style.
— Fred Astaire
Fred Astaire was a wildly popular American dancer, actor and choreographer who was known for bringing glamour and joy to the dance floor. In fact, this dancing legend was considered by many to have been the greatest dancer of all time! Astaire starred in over 40 musical comedy productions, both in films and on Broadway.
At Fred Astaire Dance Studios, we are proud of our great dance heritage, which began in 1947 when the ‘Master of Dance’ himself co-founded our company.
Fred Astaire Dance Studio Beginnings
“To me, dancing has always been fun. I am glad that I can now put my knowledge to use in bringing personal confidence and a feeling of achievement to so many people.”
— Fred Astaire
Fred Astaire was not only an amazing dancer, but also a talented and inspirational choreographer. His dream was to establish a chain of studios in his name to assure that his dancing techniques would be preserved and shared with the public.
In 1947, Astaire co-founded the first Fred Astaire dance studio on Park Avenue in New York City, bringing his talent and glamour from Hollywood to the public. Today Fred Astaire Dance Studios are found across the US and around the world, each maintaining a high standard of excellence.
