My husband & I enjoyed fantastic private dance lessons at FADS!!!
Then I began taking small groups of my Spanish students for Latino dance lessons, so they could experience incredibly fun cultural learning!!We love FADS!!!

My fiancé and I had a wedding first dance consultation (40 min @ $40) and one lesson (40 min @ $95) and it was terrific... Krystyna was so helpful and encouraging. She took notes and made it easy for us to practice at home too. Would recommend!

My husband-to-be and I are complete novices at dancing, but Fred Astaire gave us the moves and confidence for our wedding dance and beyond. We tried out a consultation session and were so pleased that we have been going back for months. Our instructor Kyrylo Lebedko is professional, personable, and takes care to add personal touches catered to our own skill level and musicality. Just try it out!

The great people at FADS operated on my other left foot and my rehab has been simply glorious! If you are a shrinking violet take some lessons. They will help you stand tall and simply glide across the floor. If you're extroverted they will only fine tune your awesomeness (my new word) even more.

We had a great time working with Vitali on our first dance for our wedding! He choreographed a dance that even we (two people with four left feet) could follow, and the steps were not only fun, but also created great opportunities for beautiful wedding photos. My friends recommended Fred Astaire Dance Studio to me based on their great experience learning their first dance, and now I strongly recommend them to all of you!

Love Dancing FADS. Just the best teachers and the happiest place. Always look forward to my lessons and the Friday dance parties. Be glad when the virus restrictions are over and we can get back to face to face lessons.

I have been dancing at Fred Astaire Durham for over eight years. The professional instructors are among the best teachers and dancers in the business. Yuri and Oksana run a beautiful, friendly and spotless studio. I recommend this studio for those who are new to ballroom dancing as well as those looking to compete. You will learn both Smooth and Latin dances. It is a wonderful experience, great exercise and so much fun.

World class dancers. World class instruction. This Fred Astaire studio has a top national reputation among its peers. I have been dancing with them for six years. I have watched teens and grand-folks become seasoned dancers. We are fortunate to have this remarkable studio in our backyard.

Best place to learn ballroom dancing in the Durham/Raleigh area. Talented world-class professional instructors with an endless joy for dancing and for people. You're made to feel at ease and focus on accomplishing whatever you want -- whether that's getting comfortable social dancing, learning a specific dance, or getting serious about dance competitions. This group are one huge family and make everyone feel so appreciated and welcome. Great exercise. Absolutely everyone should dance -- super great for mind, body and spirit!!
Also incredibly conscious of keeping everyone healthy and safe during this exhausting year with masks, distancing, limiting numbers of students at one time and lots of cleaning -- Super great outlet for pent-up "stay-at-home" nerves. :-)
Visit them, talk to them, check it out, decide for yourself -- your mind will enjoy the challenge, your muscles will enjoy the stretching and exercise, and your spirit will get a huge boost - guaranteed. :-)

My dad and I went signed up for dance lessons for our father daughter dance. We loved it so much that we purchased extra lessons, and once the wedding was over, we bought him classes as a birthday gift.
Kristina was an absolutely amazing instructor. She’s so talented at dancing and coaching! Thank you for being apart of the most cherished memory of our’s. We truly cannot thank the Fred Astaire team enough!

I recently signed my husband and I up for a couple of dance classes at Fred Astaire Dance Studio. I loved our time here. The staff were so welcoming, supportive and professional. Vadym was a great teacher as he taught us a great selection of dances. He also invited us to all major upcoming events. Fred Astaire is also at a convenient location right off of a major road. Overall, I highly recommend this dance studio, you'll have a great time!

Five stars for professionalism, courtesy, and encouragement. Taking dance lessons here will really put A little zest in your steps. I stopped by to watch, and got a free lesson which was totally fun. I then signed up for the beginner package. You won’t find a better dance studio for ballroom dancing then this one here. One suggestion: I’d love to see videos of Fred Astaire and ginger Rogers going in a loop on one of the main screens in the studio. That would be so delightful.
