Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! What wonderful people work here at the PV Fred Astaire!! Jasmine & Reigan run an amazing studio of very creative, caring, & talented dancing professionals. I've worked with almost all of them and I can honestly say they're phenomenal! My regular dance partner, Lex is so incredible! He is very encouraging & gives such good constructive insights in his teaching. (I am more than 3 times his age, but he never makes me feel old!!) Denys is a very kind & strong instructor, who will steadily lead in every dance. Mariia has the most beautiful hand & body positions to share with her students. Love her! Sweet Victoria & dynamic Reid are masterful dancers, especially in the Latin dances. I've learned so much from them! My girl, Jillian is so real & helpful in her instruction. She makes everything fun! And the lovely Sasha has the perfect personality for teaching the youngest students to the older. She knows how to make everyone feel special! Even the owner, Igor, is so friendly & giving lessons!!

In the month of June, I've taken advantage of the FADS Summer Festival, which included fun events like a Harbor Boat Cruise & a Red Carpet Victory Party. By month end, I will have spent 40+ hours with these amazing people. They, along with many other students here, have become a second family to me. My love for dance has definitely blossomed even more than I could've imagined because of the people in this studio & the instruction they give! If you're looking for professional, yet personable dance instruction--look no further! Come in for a simple Introductory Package to check it out. You won't regret it!

My fiance and I loved learning our first dance with Sasha!

She choreographed a custom dance to our favorite song. Reflecting a year later, I can still say that she was one of the most helpful people we met on our journey to the aisle. Her classes were also a fun way to shake off nerves and spend time together as a couple.

Please go here and ask for Sasha.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Mila for our 2 min wedding first dance. Our dance was so fun! We took 7 classes with Mila and practiced weekly.

My husband and I started dancing as part of a surprise to friends and family at our wedding. And now we do it because we genuinely love to dance and we love all the instructors!! Jillian and Denys make every class fun and fulfilling.

Studio was clean and staff was mostly friendly until… they used half of our session to pitch us on joining the studio. We purchased 4 sessions to learn some basic dances for our wedding. First two were good, the third, our instructor stopped the lesson less than midway through to sit us down and attempt to sell their program and services. It left such a bad taste in our mouth we didn’t even go back for the 4th.
I understand trying to sell and get new members to join their studio—but not in the middle of a lesson that has already been paid for!! Do it afterwards… I didn’t pay for you to give me a sales pitch.
On top of that, they continue to call and try to get us to come back and join. Very pushy, gross, sales-y vibe all around.

We signed-up for dance lessons and got so much more! We are leaning so many different dances, but also have new friends and opportunities to use our improving dance skills. So much fun!

I am writing this review for Jillian, who was my wife and my dance instructor for about five or six lessons in late 2023. First of all, I want to say that my son was supposed to have taken this beginner course, but he was too busy. So, I filled in and signed up to get up to speed for his wedding.

Anyway, Jillian has been so professional and courteous to us. We learned five or six different dance steps, and she was very easy to learn from. She is an expert instructor and knows all dance moves. She really cared for us and made every effort to make us feel comfortable with her while making sure we were always dancing with the correct posture and frame that was necessary. She is a true Professional at her craft and we got pretty darn good however with our crazy work schedules as well as my bad back and left arm constant pain we have now stopped our classes.

I would highly recommend Jillian and Fred Astaire for any dancing needs. If I could give more than five stars, I would.
