I started coming to Fred Astaire Dutchess 3 years ago when a friend brought me with her to a group lesson and practice party. Little did I know, it would be a life-changing experience. In the back of my mind, ballroom dancing had been something I had always wanted to try, but never had the opportunity to do so. Having studied ballet, tap and jazz extensively as a kid, I was coming in with a background in dance, but this was different than anything I had done before. From that first day on, I was hooked. The staff and students were incredibly warm and friendly - I was welcomed into their family pretty much right away and I now consider them among my closest friends. I can now say that I know how to follow (and lead) many dances including rumba, cha-cha, mambo, salsa, samba, swing, West Coast swing, waltz, foxtrot, tango, Viennese waltz, and Argentine tango. I have learned so much already from John, Elizabeth, Alex, and Max and I look forward to learning more.

Ballroom dancing peak my interest because I had a need to find a new hobby that would enhance my martial arts and fitness background. Dancing for a year now has improved my coordination, balance, posture, and allowed me to hit the dance floor which was a big achievement. All the instructors are very friendly and easy-going and each have their own unique style. My instructor Elizabeth made my sessions simple and understanding yet challenging enough to keep me on my toes. What I love about ballroom dancing, there are a lot of different styles of dance with their own unique twist. Every other Friday, the studio holds a dance practice party where everyone is felt welcomed by students and instructors to get out there and have fun. I highly recommend this place if you want to learn to dance, meet wonderful people both students and instructors, and if you want to challenge yourself to become better.

I was introduced to Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Dutchess with some hesitation in early 2013. From the moment I stepped foot on the dance floor my biggest regret was waiting so long to try ballroom dancing. I love going to the studio for private lessons, group classes and practice parties whenever I can. The instructors are second to none - knowledgeable, friendly, and a true joy to work with. They keep lessons fun, yet challenging and adjust their instruction based on personal goals and learning styles. The other students are equally amiable which creates the most welcoming atmosphere youll find in any dance studio. I highly recommend Fred Astaire Dutchess to anyone. It is my favorite place to be.

From the very first private lesson, my husband and I were hooked! With no prior ballroom or latin dance experience, we have come to enjoy our dance lessons, the practice parties and all of the wonderful people at the studio. The instructors are all friendly and the students that come are equally kind. If you are looking for something to do, or learn something new, give ballroom dancing at Fred Astaire Dutchess a try! You will love it!!

I have been learning dance with this studio, off (off was due to a serious knee injury, not dance related) and on for nearly 11 years. Starting originally with my wife, and later solo. They have brought me along from the very basics up to a fairly serious competitive level. It was also great therapy in the recovery from knee surgery, rebuilding the strength in my right leg. In addition to being great teachers, theyre great people.
