Fred Astaire New York Chelsea

"Thank you Chris!! We took ~15 lessons lessons for our wedding and can’t say enough good things about the experience. We started with no dance experience and by the end of it, had an amazing routine and some other skills that we actually used at our wedding. Chris made us feel comfortable and we laughed throughout each class. We got a ton of compliments on our dance the days after our wedding. Chris, the team and the experience were truly some of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning. Thank you!"

"We’ve been taking classes with Chris for our wedding, and we couldn’t recommend him enough. He is professional, funny, and so talented. He makes you comfortable, learn fast, and confident. He is super supportive. We couldn’t recommend him enough, and the entire studio - Jessa and Hannah too. We have a few studios by us and travel 30 minutes because he is worth it and the absolute best!! We originally came to get prepare for our wedding yet will definitely continue."

"We came to Fred Astaire Chelsea on a friend’s recommendation to prepare for our wedding dance. We immediately hit it off with Chris and would never think of going anywhere else. Chris made us feel so comfortable starting off as beginners and advancing through to a routine with his inventiveness and humor along the whole way! Thanks to the entire Fred Astaire Chelsea team for everything, and we’ll definitely be continuing our lessons!"

"Cannot recommend Chris as a dance instructor enough. My wife and I came here for lessons starting two weeks before our wedding and left the last lesson feeling very confident going into the week of the wedding. Chris is an exceptional teacher and a very skilled dancer, not to mention he has a great personality and makes every lesson fun. If you are on the fence at all, call and ask for him — you won’t be disappointed."

"This was the perfect dance studio to learn our first dance! We were unsure at first about taking dance lessons for our wedding, but after the free introductory class, where they explained the process and all of the benefits that come with learning to dance with your partner, we both knew this was the right thing for us as a couple. Chris was our main instructor for our 20-class package, with Jessa providing us extra support during some of these sessions. They taught the lessons in easily digestible steps with explanations that were quickly understandable for beginners like us. We didn't believe that we could get to be this good at dancing, but their teaching methods and the choreography that Chris designed for us really exceeded our expectations. We also had a lot of fun during our lessons and found this to be a great bonding activity. It was worth every penny, and we strongly recommend coming to Fred Astaire Chelsea dance studio to any couple."
