Why Fred Astaire
Our dance studios were founded in 1947 by Mr. Fred Astaire, one of the greatest dancers of all time. He developed a practical, interrelated dance curriculum that embodied the fundamental principles of good dancing, flavored by his style and grace. When you learn to dance at a Fred Astaire Dance Studio, you can be sure you are learning by a proven method created by the best in the business.
Comprehensive Curriculum
Our dance curriculum covers the full range of American, Latin-American, International and Exhibition/Theater Arts style of dancing. The Fred Astaire curriculum is the most fully documented bank of dancing knowledge available in the world. Originally inspired by Mr. Astaire’s superb style of dancing, current world famous dance champions and registered judges on the Fred Astaire Dance Board constantly study and review our curriculum to make sure that only the finest, up-to-date programs are offered to our students.
