I've always wanted to learn ballroom dancing, I was fascinated by it as a kid. This studio introduced it to me in a very enthusiastic and professional way. The 3 instructors: Daniel, Sarah, and Kimberley are all amazing(as are all of the students!!). Very down to Earth and love to just have fun. They all really enjoy what they do, and have been in the profession for years. I'm only going on three months as a student, and my level of excitement just increases with each lesson. Whether you want to learn Tango, Waltz, Swing, Salsa, Rumba, Foxtrot, ChaCha or more...it's such a great experience. Columbus Northwest!!!

My daughter and I are dancing to "Fall on Me" at her wedding. Instructor Sarah gets 5 stars from this old codger. She custom choreographed a beautiful waltz that perfectly fit the music, the lyrics and the occasion. We always left smiling. I can't image a more enthusiastic, friendly and patient instructor. Prior to our lessons, I did not know how to do a single dance step. Thanks Sarah!!!

My wife and I took lessons for our first dance at our wedding and I honestly didn't know what to expect. I had never danced before and it was a bit intimidating, and then along came Kelsey... and she blew me away. She is so kind, funny and a great instructor. Her vision for our dance was just amazing, I can't imagine it turning out any other way. She knew when to push us, she knew when to adjust. I don't think there is anything she doesn't know when it comes to working with couples and making them feel comfortable and without any worries of inhibitions to dancing. I honestly can't say thank you enough Kelsey, you truly are wonderful. The rest of the staff are amazing as well, we were always welcomed with smiles and encouraged when we showed off our dance, their studio is such a great place to just be with people who care about their students and teaching. Thank you to all of the staff as well. Jeremy and Moriah

About a year ago my boyfriend and I decided to give dance lessons a try, as I have been dying to learn a little more social and ballroom dancing and how to dance a variety of different dances. We were warmly greeted and quickly felt like family there. I loved the energy every time we came in for a lesson, and everyone was always enjoying themselves. We had a personalized plan for what dances we wanted to learn based on our personal preferences. This plan wasn't set in stone, and we had as much say as we wanted in what we wanted to work on/learn, but were still guided in a teaching style that balanced our strengths, goals, and and of course focused on having fun! There were many socials and dance classes that we could attend outside of our once a week dance lessons, and there were many opportunities to work with world-class dance instructors. This studio really worked with us during scheduling conflicts, and worked around our busy schedule. Carolyn, the manager and the instructor we worked with the most, is obviously very passionate about what she does, and puts so much energy towards making sure her clients have the best possible experience at the studio. No matter what you are looking for when visiting this studio, she will help guide you to where you want to be. The only reason we did not continue our lessons were budgetary and time restraints. However in any future life-event where I will need to brush up or learn more about social and ballroom dance, there is no other place I would go to than Fred Astaire Dance Studio! If you are on the verge, I would highly recommend giving them a call and coming in for an introductory course.
