If you’re looking for the friendliest place in Ottawa, look no further than Fred Astaire Dance Studio! My husband and I first walked through their doors on January 26, 2024, with one simple goal: to learn a waltz for our wedding on July 20, 2024. What we didn’t expect was to fall head-over-heels in love with ballroom dancing itself. Nearly two years later, we’ve danced our way through mambo, cha cha, tango, foxtrot, rumba, waltz, and swing—and we’re still smiling every step of the way. The instructors are incredible: patient, encouraging, and genuinely fun to be around. Private lessons give us one-on-one guidance, while the group lessons are a great chance to learn new moves and meet other dancers. And the party lessons? Pure joy! They get everyone dancing with different partners, which is surprisingly fun and educational. Fred Astaire has become more than just a studio for us—it’s our weekly date night, our stress relief, and our community. We laugh, we learn, and we leave feeling lighter on our feet and happier in our hearts. We could not be happier with this studio. If you’ve ever thought about trying ballroom dancing, don’t wait. Come join the fun—you might just find yourself waltzing into a whole new passion, like we did!

I am enjoying my dance lessons immensely. I was looking for someplace calm, professional and fun. Sometimes when we think of dance we think of rigid… but not here. All are welcome it does not matter how much dance experience you may have. My instructor Isabel, is amazing and so patient. It is evident that she truly enjoys what she is doing. The Studio itself, is classy, warm and inviting. It truly is a happy place.

I have a great time every time I dance here with our lovely instructor Kayla. But today she put a tango song for us to dance with the rhythm and it was “ What is love “ from Haddaway!! I lost my mind due to excitement 😁🥰 what are the odds !! Now I know how to practice every night 🤩

I can't say enough wonderful things about Fred Astaire studio From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. Grace instructor is not only incredibly talented but also patient, encouraging, and passionate about teaching. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience, they know exactly how to make each class fun, challenging, and rewarding. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn dance in a supportive and inspiring environment.

My fiance and I have been coming for 4 months now. It's been a great experience so far. Dancing is a great life skill and translates well with various sports such as golf. As a Personal Trainer, I believe the hip movements and various body rotations would benefit any athlete. The staff are all very kind and a huge shout out to our instructor Kayla! She always brings enthusiasm and energy and she's a huge reason why we're continuing to our bronze level and possibly further. Dancing is a fun hobby and a great date night. I would recommend Fred Astaire to anyone.
