Never really learned dance before but I always wanted to learn ballroom. I found a deal on LivingSocial for this studio. Its a little ways off from where I live but I thought Ill just try it a couple times. Martin, the owner, asked me what type of dance I wanna learn, I asked him what the different dances are lol, I had no idea! So for my intro lesson, I learned the basics for a couple dances. It was so much fun! Eventually I started coming more and more for the group classes. The teachers always make the classes enjoyable and nobody ever made me feel stupid or intimidated because everyone including the other students are all just happy to help out. And they genuinely care about you and not just your money. They value the long term teacher-student relationship and not just some "I want your money now and I dont care if I dont see you again" attitude. Its now been a year and I am hooked!! Once I find something I really like, I stick to it. My week isnt complete if I dont get to go to the studio. I go there when Im tired or when Im stressed and I leave feeling better :) Love this place!

My husband and I moved to Vegas about a year ago for his job and while he was busy busy busy, I was having a hard time adjusting and his long hours made me lonely. One day I was driving and the big white letters spelling out DANCE STUDIO caught my eye and I impulsively swung into the lot. And Im so glad that I did. Martin (the owner) has a fantastic studio, inside and out. Its new, clean, and beautifully decorated on the outside with vintage Fred Astaire shots. He and his instructors (Nikki W., Nikki M., and Jonathan) are all extremely professional, knowledgeable and talented, but more importantly they make learning FUN! On that first day I laughed so much I didnt even think I was taking a class, and to be honest, I still feel that way most of the time. The staff and regular students make this dance studio very inviting, not stuffy or snobby like others tend to be. The group lessons are so fun with everybody involved and then my private lessons are jam packed with information that really helps my dancing improve. Im so glad I have found my Vegas "family" here at Fred Astaire!!!

As much as I love watching people dance, never did I think I would ever have the courage to walk Into a dance studio by myself, and learn to dance. Especially ballroom dancing. As I walked in, its just like the movies. Open floor, Mirrors, and dancing. I almost walked out because of the anxiety that washed over me. But my instructor Jonathan, took me by the hand and instantly made me feel comfortable. (Which is hard to do) In 2/3 months he taught me so many dances and one ....that I performed in front of a small local crowd. I really didnt think I would be able to do it, I have stage fright, and we changed a lot of the Argentine tango Routine the prior night. He is an excellent instructor and The routine was something that I will never forget. It conquered 2 of my life long fears , and I highly recommend Fred Astaire Las Vegas. All of the instructors are more like friends, and it is such a family oriented environment, that you literally want to be there every night.

Fantastic studio! Martin, the owner, is a super person and a great instructor. I had never done ballroom or Latin dance, or any dancing in public for that matter. After a number of discouraging attempts at finding a comfortable environment for my beginning steps, I found Fred Astaire through referral from a friend. I admit that the name “Fred Astaire” was intimidating and I expected another less than good experience, but as soon as I walked into the studio, I felt the relaxed atmosphere there. Not that I was relaxed, but Martin and Nikki quickly put me at ease. I signed up for private lessons and attend the group beginner classes, and a Latin cardio class. I’m only three weeks into it, and already this new experience has been therapeutic for me physically, mentally and emotionally. It’s such a gift to find something so fun and challenging for myself as a single woman in my sixties.

I started going to Fred Astaire Las Vegas as a new dancer in July of last year. I work long hours at a local hospital and was just looking for something fun and active to do once in a while to take care of myself and unwind; I felt immediately at home here and have been at the studio every chance I get! Martin, the studio owner, and all of the instructors are very welcoming and encouraging. The studio atmosphere is friendly and warm. They really take the time to get to know you, make you comfortable, and explore your goals. I have seen them tailor lessons to couples, individuals, and children, experienced dancers, and first-timers, and everyone seems to have a great time. I really enjoy the variety of group and specialty classes offered, and always learn so much in my lessons. I expected to find a casual hobby, but discovered a passion a studio family I am excited to be a part of :)

Martin and his professional staff are incredibly personable. When I walked in the door it felt like being greeted by family, not a franchise. Each staff member has a unique background and I am eager to finding what they have to offer individually. After the first lesson with my husband, we even received a handwritten notecard from Nikki. They know what they are doing, on and off the dance floor. Despite their exquisitely beautiful dance technique and skill, they are not intimidating for new dancers, a.k.a. my husband. As a seasoned dancer, I am thoroughly inspired by the Fred Astaire Dance Studio programs. FADS tailors to each individual dancers speed of learning, goals, and personalities, while simultaneously keeping them on track with standardized levels. My husband and I are looking forward to logging many hours dancing here!

The studio is so welcoming. When you walk in you are greeted with hellos and hugs from everyone, students and teachers. It is such a warm community. The group classes are great, you get the opportunity to work on your dance skills with multiple partners and learn new things. Private lessons are great as you get to really fine tune your dancing. They offer a wide range of work shops and coaches so that you can really learn from many different approaches. Ive only been at the studio for 2 weeks and I already feel right at home.

Love this place! Everyones really friendly and welcoming here, and theres no hard sell about lessons. For a non-Fred, independent student like me, its especially nice to go into a studio and still feel like part of the family. The floors great, and the locations convenient. Floor rent is very reasonable. When the studio does dance parties, even non-Fred people can come. Worth checking out!

They provide an amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment you call to the moment your dancing your first steps they cater to your every want and desire. The staff and owner were very friendly and knowledgeable, their patience and teaching were superb. I love going to this studio, I have brought in and recommended a number of my friends who are now coming to the studio as well.
