Fred Astaire Solana Beach Reviews From Real Students

These reviews come straight from Google and Facebook. We do not write them, edit them, or filter out the ones we would rather you skip. The wall updates on its own as new reviews arrive.

Most of the people writing them had never taken a dance lesson before they walked in. They mention the same things without prompting: patient instructors, a room that felt welcoming on day one, and a first lesson that was easier than they feared.

Read a few before you decide. Look for the review that sounds like your situation, a beginner with two left feet, a couple with a wedding on the calendar, someone coming back after years away. Then read what happened next. That is usually the most useful thing on this page.

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience with [Instructor’s Karina at Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Solana Beach. They are patient, encouraging, and genuinely make learning to dance fun. I walked in nervous and left each lesson feeling more confident. The studio has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and I always look forward to going. Highly recommend!

Me and my fiancée decided at the final hour that we wanted to have a coordinated dance for our wedding and we’re SO grateful that we found this studio. Especially that we found Ksenia as our dance instructor.

Our first trial lesson was incredibly fun and paired with her lovely energy and teaching style we were sold.

She’s extremely encouraging and walks through the steps with us individually and together. Making it easy to understand and practice. Based off our song and listening to what we were hoping our dance to feel like she was able to recommend Rumba! And with our second song she’s been teaching us salsa.

We’ve already learned so much with Ksenia! She’s truly the best!!

We were able to do the new student intro offer with John, who was absolutely amazing! We wanted to practice our first dance for our upcoming wedding, and he made us feel so comfortable. He was so warm & personable, & made us feel so excited about it (instead of nervous!). Would absolutely recommend him & the studio to anyone!

Your review is the reassurance a nervous first-timer needs. Two minutes, lasting impact.

Nobody reads a studio’s own marketing and believes it. They read what students wrote. If dancing here changed something for you, whether that was a wedding you stopped dreading or a Friday night you now look forward to, say so in your own words. The person reading it next is exactly where you were.
