We welcome everyone who is interested in starting their dance journey because we believe that dance is for everybody and for every BODY!

It’s what our students tell us they notice from the first time they step inside our studio – an energy and sense of “FADS community” that is welcoming, non-judgmental, and FUN!

Fred Astaire Dance Studios® has something for everyone. We offer group and private lessons, choreograph wedding dances or just prepare the happy couple and wedding party for the big day, provide opportunities to perform in beautiful venues, host local parties for dance practice and comradery and we host an average of 35 spectacular branded National, Inter-Regional and Regional Dance Competitions annually giving our students and professionals opportunities to compete in a variety of categories.
