Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Greenwood

"My husband and I took lessons befor our wedding this year. We took lessons once a week for several months and worked with Vinny. He was we amazing! The lessons were long enough, but not so long we felt overwhelmed. The studio is very clean. We met the owners and other teachers as well. Everyone was very supportive and welcoming. Vinny created a routine that was special to us for our first dance. He also helped teach us many other styles of dance so we felt comfortable dancing to anything during our reception. I'd like to go back one day and join their social plan."

"I’ve always loved to dance but never really felt like I knew how to move in a coordinated way to give me confidence on the dance floor. I finally made a decision to check out Fred Astaire based on the good reviews. Spencer was assigned to give me an exploratory dance lesson. It was so much fun I didn’t really want it to end so I thought I would at least give it a try. Spencer continued as my dance teacher and I couldn’t be more pleased. Jumping to the end of the story we now dance together in competitions.This all became possible for me because Spencer is really tuned in to the unique needs of his students. He’s fun, supportive, compassionate and has a good sense on how to individualize his teaching to reach people where they are in their abilities. Best of all, Spencer mixes fun with hard work and he will never give up on you no matter how many mistakes you might make. Well, there might be a limit; I guess I haven't hit it yet, LOL. In general, there’s a lot of laughter and camaraderie in the studio. It’s been a life changing experience for me and if anyone has been thinking about doing it but hesitating, just do it. I wish I would have started sooner."

"My wife started taking lessons here so she could dance with our son at his wedding. She so enjoys it that she continued taking regular lessons. So then she gets me involved too. We take instructions from both Grace and Spencer. Both great dancers and both great instructors. This is a great couples activity. Grace and Spencer both make it fun to learn something that I never thought I could or would learn to do. Cudos to both of them, as well as to Vinny and the owners! If you ever thought you might want to learn to dance, you really need to try Fred Astaire Greenwood, you will not be disappointed and you just might end up really liking dancing. Great job Grace and Spencer!"

"Great teachers, good vibes, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend you give it a try. My teacher was Grace and she always bring a positive attitude that makes the class fun."

"Are these people for real?! It is hard to believe that the negative reviews are about the same school! My opinions and experiences are more in line with Jenny's. I am glad she pointed out the obvious, that money is exchanged for services because it is a business. The owner has been completely professional in every interaction I've had in the 3+ years I've been taking lessons. He seems to be a very busy man, but ALWAYS makes himself available to talk with me and has been very fair. Although I personally cannot afford all the programs available, I appreciate being invited to participate and being offered the option. I do not take this as pressure?? Sometimes things are very busy in the school, but I cannot imagine anyone of the staff being cross or rude. That has not been my experience at all!! The owner and the other teachers are encouraging and fun. I enjoy all of the professionals and the overall atmosphere of the school very much. I recommend this studio to everyone who has an interest in learning to ballroom dance. I love it there and I would hope all studios are as organized and professional and fun! I say great leadership and great operation!"
