Fred Astaire Dance Studios 3

Co-founded by the legendary Fred Astaire, our studios set the standard of excellence in dance instruction. From Ballroom to Latin to Swing to Salsa, we offer all styles of dance lessons for all ages and abilities in a fun atmosphere. We are proud of our great dance heritage which began in 1947 when the Master of Dance himself, Mr. Fred Astaire, co-founded our company. Mr. Fred Astaire, an American icon, wanted to establish a chain of studios under his name to ensure that his techniques would be preserved and passed on to the public. Mr. Astaire was instrumental in the choice of dance curriculum and instructional techniques. With the opening of the first Fred Astaire Studio on Park Avenue in New York City, Astaire brought his immense talent out of the glamour of Hollywood and onto the dance floors of America and the world. "Some people seem to think that good dancers are born", Astaire observed, "but I have always taught all of us good dancers".
