Moving one’s body to the rhythm of music is a natural human instinct, just like running toward the sound of lightning.

Professionally schooled in the art of ballroom dancing, Fred Astaire Worcester’s certified instructors have trained tapping toes in boogying basics since 1984. Based on each student’s desired style, such as ballroom, Latin, social, or competitive dancing, staff members tailor two 30-minute private lessons around each individual pupil’s or couple’s needs, aspirations, skill level, and number of past appearances on Soul Train.

Following sheltered sessions, a group lesson guides apprentices through old and new steps and patterns while increasing student self-sufficiency by granting less individualized instructor attention. Aimed at developing muscle memory through repetition, a two-hour practice session offers students an opportunity to rehearse moves from their previous coursework in a social setting and learn to maneuver around fellow pirouetting pairs or determined octopus tag players. Fred Astaire Worcester requires participants unable to foxtrot on scheduled class days to cancel at least 24 hours beforehand.
