“Instructors are so patient as we learn new steps and try to remember old ones. They make it fun and rewarding.”

Our Teaching Methods
Our passion is helping to enrich lives – physically, mentally, emotionally and socially – through the positive, transforming power of dance. We look forward to helping you take the first step on your dance journey!
Our ballroom dance options cover the full range of American, Latin-American, International Style, Exhibition/Theater Arts dances and more. World famous dance champions and registered members of the Fred Astaire International Dance Council continually study and review our curriculum, to ensure that only the finest, most up-to-date programs are offered to our students.
The Three-Tier Training System
Our unique teaching method includes a three-tiered system of regularly scheduled private lessons, group classes, and practice parties.
Private Lessons
Private lessons, with our professional dance instructors, give you the personalized attention to look and feel confident on the dance floor, while developing the ability to lead or follow any partner. We move at your pace, perfecting and polishing your dancing every step of the way.
Practice Parties
Weekly practice parties complete the information taught in your private lessons and group classes. We turn down the lights, turn up the music, and enjoy time dancing in a relaxed social setting. Practice parties are a fantastic (& FUN!) way to apply what you’re learning.
The Fred Astaire Trophy System
Our Trophy System offers an easy way for you to track your progress while you enjoy dancing. Our Beginner and Social Foundation Programs teach newer students the step patterns and techniques to move comfortably around the dance floor.
You can progress to the Bronze Trophy Program (our most popular), which enables you to dance on any size dance floor, to any music, with any partner, and feel comfortable and confident. From there, students can continue to the Silver Program and then all the way to Gold!
