See What Other Students Are Saying
Beyond the amazing instruction, they’ve built a wonderful community of students who genuinely enjoy all the studio-sponsored social events. We’ve made great friends and truly feel like part of the studio family.
We can’t wait to take more classes and continue improving. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality dance instruction in a fun and friendly environment!
I can’t say enough great things about this instructor. She brings an incredible amount of positive energy into every lesson and is genuinely happy, encouraging, and fully present every time she teaches. She’s patient, clear, and always willing to take on a challenge—no matter the level or complexity.
What really stands out is her consistency. She never gets frustrated, never gives up, and always finds a way to help you improve while keeping the lesson fun and motivating. You can tell she truly cares about her students and their progress. It’s no surprise she’s ranked among the top instructors at Fred Astaire. Her professionalism, talent, and attitude truly set her apart.
I also want to highlight her husband, who is an exceptional instructor with world-class experience. He is a former professional dancer who performed on Dancing with the Stars in Ukraine, and that level of skill, discipline, and artistry is immediately evident in his teaching. His technical knowledge, precision, and ability to break down advanced movement make learning both inspiring and approachable.
Together, they are an outstanding team and create an environment that is supportive, motivating, and truly special. If you’re looking for instructors who will push you to be better while making every lesson enjoyable, you couldn’t ask for a better duo. Highly recommend
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Fred Astaire Port Jefferson! From the moment I walked in, I knew I found somewhere truly special. The environment is warm, gracious, fun-loving, and incredibly nurturing — the kind of place where you feel supported and inspired every single lesson.
The instructors, Hlib and Oksana, are absolutely outstanding. Their talent is matched only by the patience, passion, and joy they bring to every session. I’m completely obsessed with their instruction style — they make learning not only achievable but genuinely exciting.
With each lesson, I find myself having more fun, gaining confidence, and falling in love with dance all over again. Hlib and Oksana create an atmosphere where you can grow, laugh, and truly enjoy the process.

We’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Oksana and Hlieb, and they are truly exceptional instructors. Their patience, talent, and ability to break down even the most complicated steps have transformed us from nervous beginners into confident dancers. They make every lesson fun, engaging, and tailored to us as a couple.
What really stands out is how invested they are in our progress. Oksana brings so much energy and positivity to each session, and Hlieb’s precision and clear explanations make learning effortless. Together, they create a perfect balance—supportive, encouraging, and always inspiring us to push just a little further.
If you’re thinking about starting dance lessons—whether for an event or just for fun—we couldn’t recommend Fred Astaire Port Jeff more highly. Thanks to Oksana and Hlieb, dancing has become one of our favorite things to do together.

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!
