Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Arizona Review

Received lessons as a Christmas gift from my husband for the 2 of us. One of the best choices he has made. This studio and it's teachers have opened a new world to us and we are loving it. Reasons for others to try? Fun, exercise, learning new things, health and weight loss, taking on a new challenge (physical and mental), dance parties, to just name a few. This has opened us to making so many new friends and each party is like going on a date again. The teachers are so fantastic, welcoming, caring and they adjust for how each of us learns. Try it out and once you can get past the inevitable nerves you'll enjoy.

Ever since January '20, I have gone to Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Milwaukee. What I like best about going is the fact that I not only dance (exercise) but also interact with the staff. The staff is fun to work with and they keep you focused on whatever dance or routine you are doing. I would recommend going to Fred Astaire because learning the dances and routines will keep you fit and get to interact with staff that enjoy what they do and wants you to have as much fun as they do.

If I could share the most important experience, although there are and have been many that have come from FADS Milwaukee, is that I couldn't have chosen more qualified and wonderful teachers/instructors and staff to help make come true my passion for dance. Everyone shares a passion and dedication for dance and they pass their gift and talent down to each and every student. You can't help but feel the Joy and enthusiasm when you walk in the studio. At FADS Milwaukee I have met so many wonderful people, all who have and are accomplishing so much having come to this studio.

Dancing at Fred Astaire of Milwaukee is more than dancing. It's like a wonderful party every time I walk through the door. Wonderful teachers and staff. Amazing fellow students who have become dear friends. And invigorating learning that is good for brain and body, all while smiling from ear to ear throughout each lesson. I walk out tired but very, very happy!

I feel free when I dance! There's nothing like dancing to a piece o music that you love. The staff is wonderful and the owner is awesome. As long as my Wife continues to smile, I'll be good with it! I Love our studio & instructors! This has been an amazing journey thus far.

It is always a pleasure to go to dance practice! Michelle is always so nice and always gets exactly what you need. The talent there is simply amazing! The instructions are not only very pleasant to talk with, but they are the best dancers in the US! It is my honest pleasure to be part of this "family"

My last 2 years at Fred Astaire have been a dream! I started dancing kind of as a joke. I was traveling to Brazil for my friends wedding and thought I'd learn to Samba in a couple months to prepare. What I found was an energetic and supportive community of like-minded individuals. Positive, supportive, and understanding. And that's just the other students. The instructors are even better. You will not regret your time here. You will feel uncomfortable but you will get past it and on the other side is an unparalleled sense of confidence. And you'll look great doing it!

After two years of lessons I must say I see my self continuing for years to come. The staff is the best in the nation (and has the awards to prove it). They are patient and will work as a team to ensure that concepts, patterns and choreography is understood. They have enabled me and my wife to compete nationally against other amateurs. They have trained others to compete on the professional level. But the most important thing is that they keep it fun so you keep coming back for the challenge.

I've been a student at the Milwaukee studio since 2012 and have enjoyed every minute of my lessons with my excellent and inspiring teachers. The parties are always fun and even though I come alone, the teachers make sure I dance most of the dances. As a senior I can vouch that "motion is lotion". Dancing here is the joy of my life! I highly recommend taking ballroom lessons here! Barbara Collignon

4 stars for studio overall- a good and sustainable business model, just didn't like the frequent pitches and suggested sales. All staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of extra activities to help build a community at the studio. Always clean and have spaces to change clothes.

5 stars for the dance instructors. Both Jade and Brandon were professional, personable, patient, and fun :D. My boyfriend and I had the opportunity to take 9 lessons from them through a package and a certificate we had. Lessons started promptly and they listened to what we had asked to learn. The last lesson we were able to alter a little bit to help us be independent of the instructors (much appreciated btw!). We'll be taking a break for a while but will probably be back soon.

Overall, highly recommend if you like to dance or want to learn!

Very professional and enjoyable place.

All the staff know are a pleasure to be around

No matter how mood you are in when you arrive you always leave feeling happy

We have been having an amazing time and learning so many things. We started at once a week and now love it so much we are in 4 times a week :D Shout out to our amazing coaches Brandon and Jade and the rest of the FADS crew who have made us feel right at home.

Me and my husband came to learn one dance and 7 years later we are still dancing. Ballroom dancing is truly an art. Our instructors make learning the art of ballroom dancing fun and fulfilling. Dancing has given us so many wonderful memories. And the is staff is the best .
