When I first went to check out the studio after watching some event videos posted by a friend, I knew I had found a great place. It can be tough to find an activity that is everything you need it to be- exercise, artistic expression, fun and mentally challenging! Getting back into dance was the best decision I ever made, and I absolutely love the team spirit of the group! A Special shout out to all the great instructors, both new and seasoned, and a special shout out to Sergey with his seemingly endless patience enthusiasm!

My husband and I have been coming here for 10+years off and on, and it has been a wonderful experience for us. Its been good for our marriage to have something fun we can do together, what better way to stay close than to dance! We treat each lesson as a date night and we always have a great time. Dancing provides so many health benefits, plus it’s a great way to meet people through group classes. The studio instructors are supportive of your goals whether you want to become a professional dancer or just have fun with your partner. We’ve learned so much over the years and have loved every one of our instructors.

What an amazing place to learn how to become a ballroom dancer. The instructor are such a delight to visit. I was afraid to dance, but I am so grateful to have Sergei as my main instructor his dedication to teaching his students how to dance is a level many can’t comprehend or match. He has allowed me to feel more free to dance. If you’re thinking about dancing, do it! You won’t regret it and the people who attend are nothing but fun loving people. Also tell them that Vina recommended you for your first free class! ?

My opinion of this place is that it's overpriced. They charge about $105 per lesson. It is hard to understand the instructors because of they're heavy accent. When you start going they start to try to push you to spend more money by purchasing things. Then towards the end of the lessons they start pushing you to spend $1,500 one more.

This is a great opportunity to improve your health and wellness in many ways and to learn from true professionals. It's not just for life-long dancers. Some that go have no background experience and just want the unique challenge. They will work with you to customize your plans and goals. The Youngstown team of instructors have award winning talent which is apparent when attending the lessons and performances. I believe it's a great way to invest in yourself and to overcome personal weaknesses.

My husband and I decided that we wanted to take dance lessons to improve our skills and bond. What we didn’t realize is how quickly we would come to enjoy the experience, our instructor, and what we learn. Our instructor Sergei cares about how we feel about dance and wants to see us succeed. Sergei is a fantastic teacher and we really retain all the information that is given to us and the steps. He allows us to ease into each style of dance and gives great explanation. So far the experience has changed our lives and we truly love what it does for us. We look forward to our lessons every other week. The only regret that I have is that I didn’t do this sooner.

I went to Fred Astaire Youngstown for a free introductory lesson eight years ago, and I never left! I was so impressed with the professionalism, dedication and true love of dance that all of the instructors and staff displayed. It was inspiring and contagious, and soon I learned that not only could I learn to dance, but that, as a bonus, I had gained an extended family. The studio not only teaches dance, but they also conduct weekly group classes and practice dance parties every week. As an added bonus, we have had picnics, gone on cruises to Pittsburgh and the Bahamas, and we are even having a movie night.Over the years, I have had several dance partners, but Dustin Jones, owner of the studio, has been my rock. He has such a positive attitude all the time, is encouraging and an overall fantastic teacher, mentor and friend. If you have ever wanted to step outside your comfort zone, give ballroom dance a try. I promise, you will wonder what took you so long.
