Soooo much fun! And a great way to burn some extra calories! The instructors are friendly and can even work with those of us with two left feet :) You won't be seeing my wife and I on Dancing with the Stars but we came a long way in a surprisingly short period of time. We recommend if you are a couple to start with individual instruction then couples instruction. Dancing with a professional gets you to know what correct feels like so when you are with a non professional partner you can get it right quicker. Also try to attend the group dance parties. You get to practice with the professionals, your partner (if you have one) and/or others at the party. We actually learned how to tango from others attending the party. Great music and lots of smiles and laughs as well! Wish we had done this years ago but better late than never. Also, for the young and/or single guys, if you want to impress the ladies nothing beats the confidence you have when you can grab her hand and spin her around. read more

If you are interested in joining the life-changing craze that is ballroom dancing, this is the place to do it. The professionals that teach in this studio are life-long dancers, champion professionals and expert teachers. But more than that they exemplify what every small business should strive for - customer service, honesty and a genuine interest in seeing every student meet their goals. As a competitive ballroom dancer I can't think of anyone that I would rather dance with than the people in this studio. If you are looking for a welcoming, non-threatening, fun way to get in some exercise, learn a new skill or just feel more comfortable with social dancing I highly recommend Fort Myers Fred Astaire Dance Studio. Go have some fun - go dancing! read more

What an awesome studio! I have been dancing here for 5+ months and its always a good time. I take private lessons and also attend the group classes, the instructors are so willing and friendly to share their love and passion of dance. The practice parties are always a great time! They have fun games and we always learn a new dance whether it be a line dance or a paso doble, at the halloween party we even all learned the Thriller! Not only the instructors but all the other regular dancers in and out of the studio are so loving and welcoming. They truly make you feel welcome into a happy little dance family. read more

Andrei was absolutely the best dance instructor I have ever had. He is ingenious. He knows your question before you ask. He focuses totally on you the whole lesson. He is kind and fun and teaches in chunks you can understand and is extremely patience and uses only positive reinforcement but teaches you how to improve. Elena is equally focused on you every second and positive. They help you to really learn. I felt really comfortable in their studio. I wish I could have taken them back home with me.

My husband and I have not only learned new dance steps but have totally enjoyed doing so at Fred Astaire Studio in Fort Myers. Their enthusiasm for dance shows from the moment you enter the studio to the last good bye at the end of your lesson whether group lesson, private lesson or just going to the studio to practice! We highly recommend Fred Astaire Dance Studio whether you want to learn to compete in competitions or just to learn for social dance occasions. Mike and Denise read more

This is my happy place. Andrei and Elena are the best. I drive an hour each way to have them as my instructors. I wouldn't have it any other way. I walk in and hugs all around, they want to know how my week has been and they bring in fabulous coaches from around the world to help you. They really want to share their love of dancing, and so in turn you try harder to become the best that you can be. Did I say this is my happy place? They make me smile. :-) read more
