I went to Fred Astaire Youngstown for a free introductory lesson eight years ago, and I never left! I was so impressed... with the professionalism, dedication and true love of dance that all of the instructors and staff displayed. It was inspiring and contagious, and soon I learned that not only could I learn to dance, but that, as a bonus, I had gained an extended family. The studio not only teaches dance, but they also conduct weekly group classes and practice dance parties every week. As an added bonus, we have had picnics, gone on cruises to Pittsburgh and the Bahamas, and we are even having a movie night.Over the years, I have had several dance partners, but Dustin Jones, owner of the studio, has been my rock. He has such a positive attitude all the time, is encouraging and an overall fantastic teacher, mentor and friend. If you have ever wanted to step outside your comfort zone, give ballroom dance a try. I promise, you will wonder what took you so long.read more

The three years that I have been attending this studio has greatly enhanced my life. The staff members are courteous,... welcoming, joyful, friendly and patient. With no prior experience, I continue to grow, learn, build confidence and make many new friends. It’s a ton of fun and a great workout that you don’t even realize you are doing! I highly recommend checking it out!read more

My husband and I have taken lessons at this Fred Astaire Studio for quite a long time (15 1/2 yrs). There isn't a... better way to get "moving" than dancing and at this studio. The instructors are the best around. I would highly recommend anyone, who wants to try dancing to come to this studio. I promise, you won't be disappointed.read more

I've never used the services Fred Astaire offers however my wife & daughter along with a few of their friends have... taken dance lessons here, I've heard them talking about how much they enjoyed their lessons, also my wife's new dancing skills are evident when we have the opportunity to go out to a special function such as a friends wedding. My wife now thoroughly enjoys dancing and she is also very talented in her moves. My wife and daughter love their dance lessons and while I'm sure their busy lives doesn't afford them the opportunity to go as often as they would like, but when they are able to go they both tell me that they have the time of their lives. Their prices are reasonable and also have a variety of times that they offer lessons.read more

I remember driving past Fred Astaire always wondering what it would be like inside and to take lessons. A friend... invited me out to one of their Champagne Guest Parties, I took advantage of the incentives, and signed up for lessons. Been ballroom dancing ever since! Truly wonderful people, students and teachers. Definitely one of the best places to dance! Comes check us out and experience it yourself! You will not be disappointed!read more

This studio is professional, courteous, creative, and best of all, tons of fun. It has been a fantastic experience... learning a skill that is great for parties, weddings or just a romantic night out. The staff is very friendly and remarkably talented. They have helped to hone my skills with patience and determination. The lessons, group classes, events and parties are tons of fun. It has literally become a home away from home where I have made many friends who feel like family. I highly recommend giving it a whirl!read more

Our first class was a surprise for my birthday. Since then we've been working on Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing, Tango, Cha Cha... and Rhumba. We wanted to be able to have an elegant dance at our wedding, but the friendly atmosphere, excellent teachers and overall enjoyment has kept us coming back for more! It's such a great way to spend time with each other and learn a new skill. We plan on continuing with our lessons even after the wedding!read more
