I have been dancing with Ilya since September, and I love it. He is a great instructor and gives perfect feedback on things I am strong at or need more work on. Daniel and Alina D. Are also absolutely wonderful and so fun to dance with. I love the environment and atmosphere of this dance studio, and I look forward to continuing to dance here!

I just started dancing lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studios where everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. My awesome instructor - Illlya- is now leading me through this new and exciting adventure. I so appreciate his professionalism and easy-going approach while, at the same time, paying attention to my learning style and capabilities. If you are looking for a new activity this year I truly recommend FS Dance Studios and ask for Illya, if possible!

I’ve been taking lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studio for about two months, and Alina has been fantastic. She was the first person to help me when I walked in and has been incredibly supportive ever since. I’ve made real progress and feel much more comfortable across multiple dances. Alina is patient, encouraging, and really good at helping you improve while also getting comfortable. The lessons feel structured but fun, and I always leave feeling more confident than when I walked in. Highly recommend both the studio and Alina.

I was a social dancer for 10 years and stopped for 5 years. Last year I decided to try Fred Astaire and love it. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Besides learning the dance steps from private lessons the dance parties are fun and have creative themes. My main instructor illya has been extremely encouraging which makes me want to come to class and I always leave in a better state of mind.

Came to this studio for a free dance lesson for our wedding! We ended up doing 4 additional sessions to have the first dance choreographed! Our instructor Illya was amazing and so patient with us! I highly recommend this studio for first dance lessons! They also have group lessons for other dance styles as well! Overall an amazing studio with fun, easygoing, and welcoming vibes!!
