What is a Practice Party?

Meet and dance with other members of all levels fromthe ballroom community. Develop your leading and following skills in a practical environment with professionals available to trouble shoot.

Can I focus on 1-2 dances at a time?

All of the dances at Fred Astaire Dance Studios are interrelated, it is just as easy to learn 3-4 dances as it is to learn 1-2. In most dance situations, you will need to know a variety of steps in a multitude of dances.

How should I dress for my lesson?

Comfort and class is what we encourage. Comfortable leather soled shoes dance best on our ballroom floor. Any type of sling-backs, tennis shoes or boots are discouraged. Practice wear and dance shoes are available for purchase in our dance apparel department.

Where will I use this style of dancing?

Fred Astaire Dance Studios teaches a style of dance that is used in any social situation. Although many students come to use initially to learn for a special occasion, for example, a wedding, cruise, bar mitzvah, Doctor's ball, etc., they find many other times for dance in their personal lives. We also provide practice parties for your convenience. Our facility is a smoke-free environmentfor your dancing pleasures. So, take your "first step" with our complimentary special.
