What You'll Get
Like Batman and Robin, partner dance is known for graceful leaps, great timing, and the ability to catch someone who pirouetted off a building. Let your feet fly with today’s Groupon: for $19, you get a dance-class package at Fred Astaire Dance Studio (a $115 total value) that includes:
- Two private lessons
- One group class
- Admission to a dance party
The cadre of expert instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studio honour the legacy of dance legend Fred Astaire, who founded the first of his eponymous studios in 1947. Students seize the beats of enduring dance styles boasting vibrant worldwide communities, such as swing, salsa, Viennese waltz, merengue, and rumba. Two half-hour private lessons get hoofers moving confidently under a certified instructor’s safekeeping, and the group class whirls pairs in steps’ fundamentals for 40 minutes on Tuesdays at 8:15 p.m. for advanced students or Thursdays at 8:15 p.m. for beginners. When pupils are ready to test leading and following skills on partners or unsuspecting bystanders, a 90-minute dance party further cements skills and advances the art of both foot and lip conversation. Check the schedule for class and party times.

About Fred Astaire Dance Studio
Cofounded by dancing legend Fred Astaire to train new generations of rug cutters with his signature easy grace, Fred Astaire Dance Studio uses a unique curriculum to create comfort on the dance floor. Expert instructors start with steps and rhythms common to most social dances, steadily building toward more specialized combinations of moves for a variety of rhythm-dance styles such as cha-cha and samba and smooth-dance styles such as the foxtrot and waltz. Once they've learned to follow, lead, or just pare down unnecessary finger snaps, students can take to the purple-walled dance floor to practice their steps and try on new partners at social parties.
