"David, Arron & Genevieve Fred Astaire Artesia The best creative dance teachers. Creating a musical magical experience through dance. Building people's character taping into their creative side. Burlesque Group Fierce amazing people. Having fun! :)"

"We are now a few lessons into our wedding dance, choreographed by David, and we absolutely love it. David is the best instructor, SO patient, and created the dance to our level while still pushing us. When we have trouble getting parts of it, he is able to switch between both parts so that we understand what the other person should be doing - which works so well. He also cut our music perfectly! We are having a blast and look forward to learning other dances with David and Aaron!"

"My husband surprised me with a private dance lesson for Valentine's Day, and we had a great time! David was an excellent instructor - my husband and I are complete beginners, but David was so patient and kind with his directions. When I was having a hard time understanding what I was supposed to do with my feet, David would jump in and guide me step by step and at one point he even called over another instructor Aaron to help demonstrate both partners' steps so I could understand the coordination. Our lesson was just 40 minutes but I was pleasantly surprised at how much he was able to teach us in that amount of time - We learned 3 different steps for the rumba and 4 steps for the foxtrot. The studio itself is beautifully decorated and located in a plaza with many restaurants nearby. The plaza can get pretty busy but there is also parking in the back. The studio also has regular drop in classes available which is awesome! Thanks David for an awesome lesson."

"My fiancé and I were looking for a dance studio to choreograph and teach us a wedding dance and WOW - Fred Astaire Artesia is PERFECT. The studio itself is beautifully maintained - clean, and tastefully decorated, and the owners are so lovely!! David is our instructor and is absolutely incredible!!! He is so beyond talented, knowledgeable, patient, and did a masterful job of catering to our different experience levels in our private lesson. We cannot wait to come back and know we could not have picked a better studio. Highly recommend!!"

"I had my first lesson today at Fred Astaire Artesia. The studio is beautiful! But more importantly, David and Aaron were so welcoming and genuinely happy to have me dancing there! My lesson was with Aaron… I started ballroom dancing 4 years ago with him (in RB studio where I live). When he announced he was opening his own studio, I could not imagine not following him. He is that good. Both him and David are champions in there category, so talented, yet so patient and attentive to our success. Kind hearted, always with a smile… no matter what! I am now going to be driving 45 minutes each way to take my lessons (instead of 5 minute walk to their past studio)… They are that good! Dancing makes me happy… thanks to Aaron"
