The Fred Astaire Dance Studio is a great new addition to the Reston/Herndon area. I had been thinking about improving my skills (ha!) on the dance floor for a number of years, and it seems like there are more and more social situations which pop up as I get older (weddings, office holiday parties, cruise ships, spontaneous moments!) that I would prefer not to embarrass myself. When I saw the studio had just opened in my neighbor, it was one of those “no excuses” moments. It was a nice surprise (and relief) that after about 10 minutes into the first class I was enjoying myself. My instructor, Susannah, is the utmost professional, having a great deal of patience for the ultimate non-dancer like myself, but still urges the student to push themselves a little further and gain more confidence. It’s well designed new studio space and I found the pricing to be the same or even more reasonable than time with a personal trainer at the local gym. The bonus with the dance studio though is you get exercise and gain a handy social skill in the process (and have a little fun too).

We have been attending Fred Astaire at the Reston location for about one year now. We started going because my fiancé’ always wanted to dance and I thought this would be a fun activity we could do together and enjoy dancing while attending functions. One of our biggest accomplishments is that Sevrin and Susannah choreographed our wedding dance, which we mastered in time for our special day. One of the most important things that matters to us is that the feeling of the Reston location is VERY PERSONABLE. Everybody from staff to students are always warm and welcoming. After a short period, it really felt like a family environment. They offer Friday night dance theme parties, Salsa group nights out at the local Salsa club, holiday parties, events, showcases and much more... There is no shortage of things to do… We will continue to participate and look forward to learning new dance moves, meeting new people and enjoying ourselves with the Fred Astaire family.

I cannot say enough positive things about the classes and my instructor Sevrin Shapiachan. Sevrin is a masterful teacher, a wonderful group leader and runs a great venue. He is such a wonderful and sweet person who will make you fall in love with ballroom dancing. The classes are such a blast and so much fun. Sevrin, Susanna, Lauren and Nathan are teaching different dances each week (Salsa, Tango, Cha-Cha, Rumba and waltz). They are able to teach the fundamentals of movement in a way that is logical and where the student feels comfortable in their classes from the first moment. I highly recommend anyone, with or without dance experiences, to take social ballroom dance classes at Fred Astaire at the Herndon/Reston location.

I had always wanted to take dance lessons but thought I was too old (mid 40s). And then I found Fred Astaire Reston and had my first dance lesson in August of 2016 and have been taking weekly dance lessons (private and group plus the dance parties on Friday nights) since then. All of the instructors are encouraging, professional, patient and make it easier than you would think to learn how to dance. Great studio and great instructors! Added bonus: Ive made lots of new friends who all love dancing and my overall health has improved tremendously - no more back pain, improved cardio health, weight loss (this is a great workout but it doesnt feel like working out because youre having too much fun).

I took an introductory lesson at the studio shortly before they opened on a whim. I was completely sold after my first 30 minutes! I can honestly say this has changed my outlook on life. I look forward to my lessons as well as the Friday night party. My time at the studio is filled with much laughter and its a great way to de-stress! You can take this to any level from casual dancing to competition and periodically you have the opportunity to work with some very talented coaches! For those of you who have a secret passion to dance or are simply looking to meet new fun people this is absolutely the place for you. Give it a try you have nothing to lose!

Highly recommend this studio, the teachers are all engaging and patient with a lot of humor added to the teaching. I look forward to my lessons each week. If you have ever tapped your toes to a great Sinatra tune, or enjoy watching the great old MGM musicals, then learning to dance may be something you dont even realize you will enjoy. Wondering if there is more to do on a weekend then the bar scene, or maybe just seeking an escape from this working city or the dreary news and politics of the day. Then this could be just the thing. As Danny Kaye put it....The best things happen when you are dancing.

We joined the Reston Dance Studio with just under 2 weeks to our wedding.The staffing team was very cordial and welcoming.Susannahs patience and coaching skills gave us the needed confidence to showcase our skills for our first dance at our wedding reception within the shortest possible time. My husband and I received compliments after our wedding reception and we owe our sincere thanks to "You" for making our day a real special one. I would like to recommend the Astaire Studio in Reston to anyone looking to take on some dance lessons.

We came to the studio as they had just opened and with 6 week to go prior to our destination wedding. We met with Susannah and I was comforted that she had a pretty solid plan to get us ready. After our first class I felt better, I felt more confident as every class went on and the end result was GREAT!!! I cant believe how much we learned in such short time frame, our first and second dance turned out beautiful. Sussanah goes above and beyond to develop a routine that we both felt comfortable with....Thank you so much!!!!

The Fred Astaire Dance Studio is an excellent place to learn how to dance in an enjoyable and uplifting environment. The staff is professional, highly skilled, accomodating, and always working to improve their skills. The studio has a comfortable atmosphere. There is a variety of events where you can enjoy social dancing and show off what you have learned in a family friendly environment. I have attended several studios and I strongly recommend this studio whether starting new, or continuing to progress as a dancer.

I have been taking lessons at Fred Astaire Studio in Reston since it opened this past summer. I enjoy the top notch instruction and the ambience created at the studio parties and showcases.The staff goes out of their way to help each student feel comfortable and welcome.There is a great mix of students at all levels and I always have fun socializing every time I go to a party, which is weekly. I highly recommend the staff and the beautiful studio specifically created for dancing.

I thought it would be great to get some exercise doing something I enjoyed. Ballroom dancing was perfect. I have learned the steps to many dances, The staff is great, they are excellent instructors. They not only provide individual lessons but there are twice a week group lessons and the Friday night dances that are so much fun, we get to practice dancing all the steps we have learned during the week. It is a warm, fun learning environment.
