I love this place. I've only been going for 3 weeks but the studio already feels like home. All of the instructors (even the ones I haven't worked with yet) know me by name and greet me right when I walk in the door. That goes a very long way to making me feel comfortable. Also, all of the other students, from the newbies like me to the more experienced, are super friendly and go out of their way to meet newcomers and welcome you into their little family. Plus, at the social parties, where you dance with the other students, I have found the more experienced students will always take time to teach me things I haven't learned yet. It really does feel like a family there and I am excited about getting to know (and dance with!) even more of them in the future.
The instructors are top notch and all dance champions themselves. They work with you at your pace. If there is something you are not getting, they will slow it down and work with you until you do. On the flip side, if you are picking the steps up quickly, they will teach you more advanced steps to keep you challenged, interested and having fun. I can't say enough good things and I suspect I will be a fixture there for a long time to come. ~ Rebecca
This place is incredible! I have never felt more comfortable doing something more awkward in my whole life. I am not a dancer...yet. The instructors here are so wonderful to work with that you quickly lose any sense of feeling embarrassed or intimidated. This studio actually worked with my crazy schedule and gave me an appointment time that even I cant miss. During the lesson is where you will really understand how lucky you are. My instructor put me completely at ease, and before I knew it, I was actually dancing. I'm sure there are other dance studios out there, but they will find it hard to create the atmosphere and high level of instruction this studio has created. Can't dance? Then you have to come here!
Review Source:I admittedly was a little reluctant to try out this studio after a not so positive experience at another local studio with a highly aggressive, impersonal sales approach a few years back. However, my desire to learn how to dance had never really gone away despite that negative experience, and I am so glad that I gave Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Palm Beach Gardens a chance. My experience at this studio has been nothing but positive from the very beginning and I keep coming back for more lessons.
The instructors are highly skilled, personable and passionate about what they do. Their friendly energy and non-aggressive approach sets this studio apart. I truly look forward to my lessons, and am grateful to have found a studio that encourages dancers of all levels to learn and grow at a pace they feel comfortable with.
If you are interested in learning how to dance from amazingly talented professionals in a fun, welcoming environment, Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Palm Beach Gardens is the place for you.
