Fred Astaire Dance Studio Orange 547B Boston Post Road, Orange, CT 06477

"A year and a half ago my partner (now wife) and I were looking for a studio to teach us to dance for our wedding. We wanted one that would make us feel comfortable and be fun. We def found it here. Stephanie is amazing - we had so much fun learning and she taught us some fun dances for our entrance and first dance. She is funny and caring, but also creative in ideas for individuals. We definitely aren’t traditional in many ways and wanted a studio that wouldn’t make us uncomfortable. We found it here. On our last lesson the day before our wedding we were teary eyed it was over and wouldn’t have these lessons with Stephanie. Stephanie and Ned have a great group there in Orange. We are still thinking of other reasons to go learn some dance moves. We strongly recommend them for dance lessons - if you are feeling uncomfortable for any reason, definitely go to this group. They are so talented and fun."

"We worked with Juliette for dance lessons for our first dance for our wedding. We had no dance experience and she made us feel comfortable and have fun throughout the process. She met us where we were at and helped us create a memorable experience on our wedding day. It was a great to work with her and I hope to be able to go back for different types of lessons with her in the future!"

"My wife and I have been taking lessons at the Orange studio for almost a year. Ned, Stephanie and their team are terrific. Not only are they great dance instructors, but they always focus on positive feedback and bring out the best in their students. Their studio provides lots of opportunities for practice, with group lessons, practice parties as well as private lessons. They have created a real family atmosphere, with students of all ages and levels having fun while growing in the art of dance."

"This is the BEST place for ballroom- whatever level you’re at or what level you want to reach. The first time I went was to an open house and I was welcomed with such enthusiasm and warmth! I could tell immediately that this was a studio that cares about its students and the students care about each other like family. The lessons are fun but seriously focused on learning proper technique. After just 18 months I felt ready to compete and took first place in my division!! It’s a great combination of determination and the excellent instruction and professionalism of the teachers and the studio owners. They make every lesson and event so much fun. Do yourself a great service and check this place out for yourself. You’ll be so glad you did!!"

"Fred Astaire's Orange Dance classes are absolutely the best all around! All the instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, making everyone feel comfortable on the dance floor, even those with two left feet. The entire team creates an excellent atmosphere for learning and practicing dance moves, and you feel like you're with family. I highly recommend these classes to anyone who wants to improve their dance skills while having a great time! We started classes to make our first dance special, and now we can't stop returning to see Ned, Stephanie, Juliette, Magali, and Jess."
