Frequently Asked Questions 

Can anybody learn how to dance?
Yes! Our teachers are committed to teaching you how to dance in a fun, easy way. Dancing can be as easy as walking. Hundreds of thousands have successfully learned how to dance at Fred Astaire Dance Studios.

How long will it take to be a good dancer?
The frequency and consistency of your lessons, how often you practice, and your natural ability are some factors that determine how long it may take you to be a good dancer. We can make a much better assessment after your first lesson.

Do I need a partner?
No. You can learn how to dance with or without a partner.

What is the age range of your students?
Ballroom dancing is enjoyed by people of all ages -from those in their 20’s to those in their 60’s and beyond.

What should I wear for my lessons?
There is no strict dress code for ballroom dancing. Some dress casually, others come in their work clothes. Just avoid restrictive clothing (such as a long tight skirt) and shoes that may slip off while moving (such as mules and flip flops).
