Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Madison East

My husband and I decided to use a Groupon to try out lessons at Fred Astaire. The entire staff, and other students, were incredibly welcoming. It is clear that Joseph, the current owner, has created a community at the studio. After our first lesson, we worked with Toria to decide on a program appropriate for us based on their curriculum. They were upfront with pricing and what we would be learning. Each lesson has been fun, appropriate for our level, and included next steps for how we can improve. We are thrilled with the classes we've taken and look forward to continuing to hone our skills under their staff's guidance.

We have been taking lessons at Fred Astaire for the past couple months in preparation for our wedding and could not be happier! The entire staff is so welcoming, encouraging, and fun to be around. The instructors are patient and do a great job of teaching, both my fiance and I, in different ways that cater to our individual needs. I would highly recommend taking lessons with the Fred Astaire Madison East team!

I used to work at this location as a dance instructor. I just wanted to give a little bit of an insider's perspective of how things work at Fred Astaire Dance Studios. The instructors truly care about their students and spend endless time preparing for their lessons to make sure that their students leave their lessons more happy and fulfilled compared to when they came in. We had entire meetings and seminars devoted to bringing up new ideas about different approaches to make our students learn and improve faster so they could dance comfortably and with lots of joy. All the instructors were required to undergo rigorous training in not only how to teach but also how to dance at the professional level. I recommend Fred Astaire Madison East to anybody who wants to dance or just enjoy life to the fullest. You'll get a blast!!!

Got "invited" to come have a lesson through an event in downtown Madison. I was told to come in for a lesson at the studio. I was stoked because I've always wanted to learn swing and ballroom. I followed up with the lesson and was very impressed with Victorias instruction. It was all great up until I got footed with a $40.00 bill at the end. Mind no one told me about this until they said, "it'll be 40.00 today." I'm a pretty up-front type and I wish Audrey would have told me that to begin with. Studio looks great and instructor Victoria was kind and knowledgeable about the diffèrent dances. Lesson was nice but getting me to foot the bill after being invited really was a bad start to a possible relationship. This definitely deferred my decision to sign up w Fred Astaire Dance Studio.

I have tried several times the art of dance. So many times I have given up. It all comes down to the instructors. My instructor Brady and Victoria have one goal - to make dance fun and enjoyable. my wife and I have taken 8 lessons and we look forward to the next lesson. Give it a try! We are having so much fun!
