FRED ASTAIRE DANCE STUDIOS REVIEWS

Last weekend I participated in my 2nd Carolina Classic and had an absolutely amazing time. I don't normally do makeup or style my hair so having it done professionally always makes me feel like a celebrity and boosts my confidence on the dance floor. I enjoy the rush I get when I'm on the floor - from the judges, lights, and my team cheering me on. I enjoyed watching the other students, but my favorite was watching the professionals as they are awe-inspiring. I absolutely love all the instructors at Fred Astaire Richmond (special shout out to my 3 - Dima, Yehor, and Polina) and I couldn't ask for a better dance family either. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. Come and dance with us.

I never imagined falling in love with dance, but I have. Even the instructors who aren't MY instructors are constantly teaching me. I have dreams now of dancing in all 50 states, and several countries. They are endlessly patient and true experts. I absolutely love them.

The Carolina Classic was my first dance competition with FADS Richmond Pros (Polina, Daniel and Yehor) It was scary, fun, and very exciting to see the other dancers. I feel like I did better, then expected. I'm looking forward to doing it again.

ARTHUR MURRAY DANCE STUDIO OF RICHMOND REVIEWS

My daughter and I enrolled in dance lessons to prepare for our father-daughter dance at her upcoming wedding. The staff at Arthur Murray was fantastic! They helped us to learn a bunch of dance steps and then worked with us to incorporate them into our planned dance. Not only did we assemble a great dance but we had fun and it was a very memorable experience. Thank you! P. S. We’ll send pictures post the wedding.

Did private dance lessons with my partner, neither of us had any experience. It was a great decision! The instructors are able teach so many new skills in a single lesson, but at a pace that is very manageable. Each lesson built on the previous, and the instructors do a great job with planning lessons. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone.

The instructors were amazing! Went here for my prom and military ball and I loved it!! Learned some great stuff! Thanks for the amazing experience! Would 100% recommend.

DANCE MASTERS REVIEWS

My now husband and I met with Katherine before our wedding for dance lessons. She did not disappoint. We are in no way shape or form dancers and we of course wanted to do a fast paced first dance. She worked with us, which was no easy task, to make our first dance everything we wanted. She exceeded our expectations and our first dance is a memory we will never forget. We got so many compliments from our friends and family. She also did lessons with my dad and I for our father/daughter dance. I gave this to my dad as a gift to spend some quality time together. She did such a great job with us as well. She truly helped make our first dances beautiful and well put together. 10/10 would recommend everyone does this before their big day! You will not regret it.

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of having Catherine as our instructor to get us ready for our wedding first dance. She was INCREDIBLE and patient with us. She really turned our dance into something unforgettable and we owe it all to her! We highly recommend this dance studio.

Such a great experience! We had a great time and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and patient. We loved getting to watch a couple dance for their soon-to-be wedding.
