Fred Astaire Dance Studio

What a wonderful group of people that are great at teaching you how to dance AND helping give back to the community. I worked with Ekaterina for months to prepare for an appearance on Tampa Bay’s Dancing with the Stars and she had the perfect combo of encouragement and drill sergeant to help me do something I never thought imaginable. Rob worked with my wife last year and he was fantastic as well. This is a great business with wonderful people and even if you don’t have any dance experience like me, don’t be intimidated… they will make it fun! I’ll make sure to recommend them to everyone I know!

We came to Fred Astaire N. Tampa for lessons for my upcoming wedding. We were luckily introduced to Rob who has been an incredible teacher and supporter! We are so excited to show our guests what we have learned and definitely come back for more lessons after the special day! Thanks to everyone for always making our visit very special!

My Wife and I started a little over a month ago and couldn’t be happier with the Staff, location and all around good feel. This is truly a place where you can come in knowing absolutely nothing and through great guidance, a rock solid lesson plan catered to you, and lots of practice be nurtured into becoming a great dancer. I can’t say enough good things about this place other than to urge you, if you are on the fence, to stop in and give it a try. You won’t be dissapointed. I recommend checking out one of their guest parties or getting an introductory package to see how you like it (I’m glad I did).

My wife and I started going to Fred Astaire studio in preparation for our wedding last December. My dance skills at that point were pretty much nonexistent. Despite my two left feet and lack of rhythm, Rob and Ekaterina were able to teach us a dance routine for our big day in just a few short months (which combined elements of rumba and foxtrot). The dance was a huge success. We had so much fun that we decided to stay with the studio and continue dancing. Now we’re learning salsa and swing and are really enjoying it. While initially we always took lessons together, we just started taking split lessons so the instructors can focus on us individually. This has been extremely helpful. The instructors here are so knowledgeable and patient. I feel they each offer a unique teaching style which helps reinforce the steps in different ways. I would highly recommend this dance studio to anyone looking to become a better dancer and have a good time doing it.
