Fred Astaire Dance Studio Columbus Northwest

How much do dance lessons cost?

The cost depends on how many lessons you may need to achieve your goals.

What do we teach?

Our goal at Fred Astaire Columbus Northwest is to prepare you to dance with confidence in any social situation. Our curriculum consists of several basic dances that will allow you to dance anywhere, with anyone, on any occasion! The most common dances are Fox Trot, Waltz, Tango, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Swing, Mambo, Meringue, Samba, and Hustle.

Do I need a partner?

No. At Fred Astaire Columbus Northwest we teach both singles and couples. If you join us as a single student, your instructor will take the place as your partner for your private lessons. Our group and practice lessons will provide plenty of opportunity for the single student to meet other students with the same interests and goals.

What is a Private Lesson?

Private lessons consist of one student or a couple working with one instructor. These lessons provide the most benefit and ease for learning to dance since all material is catered to the individuals learning ability and desire. A couple may be accompanied by one or two instructors depending on the needs of the students.

What is a Group Lesson?

A group lesson consists of several students learning from one instructor. Students concentrate primarily on the basic steps and technique. Our group lessons cover a wide level of dancing providing all levels of students with the opportunity to join our classes. View the event calendar to check out the current month's schedule.

How should I dress for my lesson?

Wear something comfortable that won't inhibit your movements. Of course, comfortable shoes are recommended! We suggest a pair of leather-soled shoes, no sneakers or rubber -soled shoes. For the ladies we suggest a low heel shoe with a back.

How are dance lessons scheduled?

Dance lessons are arranged by student preference (based on availability). One session is forty (40) minutes.

What is the history of Fred Astaire Dance Studio?

The first Fred Astaire Dance Studio was opened in New York City in 1947, on famous Park Avenue. Today, numerous Fred Astaire Dance Studios are located in cities in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and a world-wide network of studios has been established in Europe, South Africa and Australia.

Fred Astaire Dance Studios are franchised to individual owners who are required to maintain the highest standards of excellences. The Fred Astaire Dance Studios are furnished with music and sound equipment of the finest quality. Dance floors are beautifully maintained for your dancing pleasure.

We, who have the privilege of carrying the trade name Fred Astaire Dance Studios, are immensely proud to do so. We have an obligation to uphold the fine reputation of the master dancer in everything we do from the moment you walk through our door for the first time until you leave as a better dancer.

Your Fred Astaire Dance Studio is a happy place because our students are having a great time while engaging in a pleasing, beneficial activity... Dancing.

"Dancing," wrote Havelock Ellis, "is the loftiest, the most moving of the arts, because it is no mere abstraction from life, it is life itself."

Fred Astaire Columbus Northwest was established in 2004.

What is your policy on cancellation?

We require a 24 hour notification if you intend to miss a scheduled lesson or you may be charged.

What kind of dance can we do for our first dance at our wedding?

Your first dance together as husband and wife should suit your personality as a couple and the tone you want to set for your wedding reception. For traditionalists and romantics, an elegant waltz or foxtrot might be the dance for you. If you're unconventional, an upbeat swing or a sexy tango will let you show your guests just what you're all about. Whatever your style, we can help you select the right music (if you haven't chosen a song already) and the right dance.
