Fred Astaire Dance Studios - West Springfield in West Springfield

My husband and I started dancing with Fred Astaire in September of 2023. The experience has been EXCELLENT! My father was who recommended Fred Astaire to us. Now our whole family has taken dance lessons from the studio. The price is well worth it. Not only do you get private lessons, with a talented instructor. You have the option to come to any of the weekday classes for free. Their Friday night dance parties are a blast. We go to every single one. Our teacher made a wedding dance that blew our guests away. All the instructors are incredible, especially Anastasiia. She friendly, funny, and amazing at teaching. After we finished our wedding dance program, we enrolled in the social foundations program. We have too much fun it has become our Friday date night, and we wouldn't give it up for the world.

I’m addicted! I’ve been coming here to Fred Astaire Dance Studio in West Springfield since the beginning of the year. I always have a positive experience in whatever activity I participate in. All of the instructors are very skilled, professional, friendly and know how to make learning fun! I feel like I have gained so much confidence and have greatly improved in many different areas. The group classes help you to hone the new skills you learned in your private lesson and I would recommend going to as many as you can. Just can’t say enough about Michelle and her wonderful staff!

You know that feeling of excitement you have when you do something new...especially when you've wanted to do it for a long time? That is exactly what we felt when we started dancing with Maia. The only difference? That excitement hasn't gone away! Latin (salsa, bachata) dance looks so amazing..but difficult Maia is able to demonstrate and break it down into small pieces that are so easy to digest for us. That feeling over overwhelm? No there at all. We feel lucky to have found this studio, and Maia is amazing!

Absolutely love this studio. The instructors are kind and knowledgeable. The other students are fun and welcoming. As a single person without a partner I have always had a great time. My self confidence has improved immensely. I had no prior dance experience and I now enjoy competing. I’ve also made many good friends. The owner Michelle is awesome.

My now husband and I signed up for dance lessons for our Aug 2022 wedding and we LOVED coming here. Susana was an amazing instructor and everyone else was also so kind and welcoming! Definitely recommend this place!

My husband and I went to Fred Astaire to get dancing lessons for our wedding. Maia and Michelle did an amazing job choreographing and then teaching us our dance. We enjoyed working with them very much, they are very personable. They are excellent at what they do, our wedding guests were so impressed by our dance. We do not have previous dance experience but they helped us look like pros.

My husband and I chose to sign up for dance lessons in preparation for our wedding and we're so glad we did. We had about 9? lessons in total. The first few were about the basic dance moves and then later on was the choreography for our first dance. Our dance instructor was Carissa and she was amazing! She was very patient and tolerable (my husband and I can be ridiculous some times). She would even stay past our time slot to help us and make sure everything was looking good. We would definitely recommend her for lessons!

OK I have been to Fred Astaire, Arthur Murray, Jitterbugs , studios in Northampton and found the the structure of Fred Astaire lessons is the best for learning basics and retaining new steps. They have group lessons that show you the fundamentals of a step and a private that fine tunes it. The other studios try but they do not have enough students to have group lessons reflect the different levels of students. Everyone is put together. The skill levels of the owner is phenomenal and his ability to relate to each individual is impressive. Nothing negative. He teaches his instructors and hopefully they retain some of what he has to offer. I guess every studio has its plusses and minuses but the best bang for the buck in my opinion is Fred Astaire.
