A local studio built on the Fred Astaire method: structured teaching, supportive instructors, and the belief that anyone can learn to dance. Instruction overseen by Jonathan Roberts, former World and US Ballroom champion, 7 seasons on Dancing With the Stars.
Fred Astaire Dance Studios has taught partner dancing since 1947, with a structured curriculum refined across hundreds of studios. The Solana Beach studio brings that method to the North County coast: clear levels, measurable progress, and instructors trained to teach real beginners, not just polish experienced dancers.
Like every Fred Astaire studio, the Solana Beach location is locally owned and operated, part of a franchise built on Astaire’s original teaching standards rather than a single corporate playbook.
