Specializing in Latin and ballroom dancing, Fred Astaire Dance Studio is a national studio owned by luminaries such as New York's Yuriy and Alexandra Datsyk, 1993 Ukrainian Ballroom Dance Champions and Ukraine's representatives to the World Standard Championships. No matter how busy your schedule or how leaden your feet, Fred Astaire’s staff of professionally trained instructors can tailor private sessions to match any dancer's skill level and specific goals.

We are a full time Ballroom and Latin dance school were we teach you how to dance with a partner. We offer a wide range of instruction including competition style of dancing, show dancing, wedding dancing, and social dancing instruction.

Owned by American Star Ball Championship dancers Ruslan Meshkov and Alexandra Nema and staffed with experienced instructors, Fred Astaire Dance Studio understand the basic human pining to impress peers and woo prospective mates by exploding into a barrage of meticulously choreographed but equally soulful dance moves. You'll start out with a 30-minute private beginner's lesson where you'll learn the basic ins and outs of the dance floor. After, you can schedule your remaining private lesson and two 30-minute group dance classes how you like (the two private lessons and one group class are $33 based on one of Fred Astaire's intro specials, and the additional group class is $22.50). Two 90-minute practice parties ($24) provide an opportunity to make up for a disastrous prom-night face plant and subsequent nine-week rehabilitation. Fred Astaire lets you choose from 28 dance styles, including American styles such as foxtrot, jitterbug, and swing, and international styles like the cha-cha, pasodoble, and the tango.
