Fred Astaire Dance Studio Columbus Northwest

This place, Fred Astaire Columbus Northwest, is awesome and the instructors are fabulous. I have met all of the instructors here at this dance studio and each of them have something special to teach you. My family were in town over the Christmas holidays visiting friends & family when we stopped by this dance studio and everyone especially the Owner were very welcoming. I had a short but very fun and exciting lessons of Waltz, Foxtrot, and Cha-​cha with Zach. I’ve had very little experience dancing in the past but Zach made it real easy for me as if I knew how to dance. There were some stubborn steps that I kept missing but he was able to instruct me well so that I was able to get it in such a short time. That’s why I believe that the quality of instructors here are superb because whether you’re a beginner or advanced, they adjust to your level to help you be better. Not only do they really know their dance moves but they know how to teach it well which is fantastic. It’s totally worth your time & money. You’ll definitely have fun too while you’re learning if you enjoy dancing. I would most certainly recommend taking lessons here!

Great Instructors — Dwayne, Zack & Caroline!
Very personable and all around nice people.

This is a truly example of excellence in a business. The studio owner daniel teaches my daughter and nothing i write can do him (and the rest of the team) justice. We have also taken lessons with zach, michael, and raina, who are extraordinary people and instructors as well so my comments apply to all of them; we are thrilled to have had a chance to work with all of them.
yes the prices are high but you get what you pay for. when i arrived in columbus, friends recommended another studio to me (which really wasn’t that much cheaper). i went, and my experience was exactly opposite to what i experienced here. that instructor simply did what my daughter already knew (vs. doing hard work of trying to teach her new things) and i think the teacher was not even looking at her or responding to her.
by contrast…
1) Daniel and his team never dumbs down lessons; they do the hard work of actually teaching steps and technique
2) the studio culture is warm and welcoming; all levels, types of people, etc and all are so encouraging regardless of who you are and what your level is. this culture is created by the whole team.
3) they are not «salesy’» the product is so good you want to be a part of it.
4) they care about people– clearly love what they do. as a result, my daughter has a smile on her face for every minute of her lesson with daniel.
5) they have been recognized with various state/​national/​perhaps international awards. truly first class right here in columbus.

My wife and I decided to take a couple of lessons before our daughter’s wedding – 5 years ago. We have enjoyed it so much that we are still there. Challenging, fun, great new friends, and a superb professional staff. Try this out as a great new adventure!

After much prodding by a good friend who dances, I finally walked into this studio last February… and after my first lesson I was hooked! Since then ballroom dancing has brought together my passion for music and athletics in an extraordinary way. It gives me so much joy, and the benefits of exercise, solid instruction from patient and knowledgeable staff, and a wonderful social community are all very rewarding. Compared with other places I’ve seen this studio is unique, so if you’re thinking about dancing, go ahead and take the plunge!

My husband and I went to Fred Astaire Columbus Northwest to take lessons before our wedding. The friendly, professional staff helped us make our first dance memorable. In fact, they did such a great job that four years later we are still students! The studio atmosphere cannot be beat, from the staff to the other students, everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The knowledgeable instructors provide positive support and encouragement throughout the lessons. If you’re looking for a place to learn to ballroom dance, I highly recommend Fred Astaire.

I was asked (aka forced) into dancing at a chairty event as one of the «stars» and if they can teach me me, they can teach anybody. Always positive, even when I was not. Always supportive, even when I was sure I that I was done. Very professional, Very Helpful. All in all a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to continue my lessons!

Been taking lessons for the big wedding! Its fun, and nice to have one on one with the instructors. You can also do group lessons, and they have «parties» where everyone just does their own thing. I think, I haven’t been to the party yet, but I’ve had a good time. Pricey, but worth it :)
