Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Park Ridge

"We were thrilled with our dance instructor Rafael. He has made learning a dance for our wedding so fun, we genuinely look forward to our lessons. His sense of humor and easy manner have really made this such an amazing experience for us. As a couple we both highly recommend working with him."

"I have danced at Fred Astaire Park Ridge for the past four years, and the dance instruction here is excellent! Adrian and Hannah are the amazing owners of the studio, and they have a wealth of experience and much success in the ballroom industry. They are also some of the most kind-hearted and genuine people you will ever meet! This trickles down to the instructors that they train, who are also amazing, so the whole team here is fantastic. The team here gives you the opportunity to dance in a variety of venues (competition, Friday night social party, show numbers, etc.). You choose! I am very thankful for the great staff here at Park Ridge, as well as all of my personal learning and growth that I've had as a result of my dance experiences. I encourage everyone to try it, as ballroom dancing will truly change your life mentally, emotionally, and physically!"

"We have been dancing at Fred Astaire Park Ridge for over 4 years. What started out as a way to learn a few steps so we could have some fun at a wedding has turned into an amazing and beautiful hobby. We have learned so much and really improved our dancing. The best parts of this adventure include the insanely talented and friendly professional staff. We have also made many wonderful friendships through ballroom dancing. In a nutshell, we LOVE our Fred Astaire Park Ridge family!! Do yourself a favor! Learn some new steps, make some new friends and have FUN!!!"

"Hannah and Adrian are amazing dance instructors and have a team of excellent dance instructors. They are all supportive and encouraging for their students to learn something new and attempt new challenges. The Fred Astaire Park Ridge studio has been a wonderful place for my wife and I to learn and enjoy ballroom dancing. I highly recommend the studio for ballroom dance instruction."

"We have been taking dance lessons here for over 2 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else! The staff is so professional and talented. They have a great way of teaching you no matter what your skill level is or what you want to get out of your experience at the studio. Whether it's a wedding dance, just getting to be a better social dancer, or you want to compete, they will get you there. And everyone here - staff and students - will become like family. It truly is a happy place and you will feel better about yourself no matter how long you are here. Their goal is to make you love to dance and they do a very good job!"
