Why dance with us?

Because...
You will be bouncing off the walls. Dancing will definitely make your life more exciting. When you learn to dance at Dancesmiths' Fred Astaire Dance Studio, a lot of good things are going to happen.

You Get Choices and Convenience
  You want dance lessons when they're convenient for you. We schedule private dance lessons to fit your busy schedule; we have over 200 lesson slots available each week. We can also accommodate private group dance lessons for your event. Our practice sessions are the halfway point between your lessons and the real world. Scheduled on Fridays at 8pm, and preceded by group classes at 7:15pm. We teach a wide variety of dances: Tango, Salsa, Swing, ballroom dancing, Latin dancing, and more.

You Get a Great Location
  We are well located for most of Shelby county. Since we are on Whitten Rd., just off I-40, we are easily reached from Bartlett, Cordova, Collierville, East Memphis, Fayette county, Germantown, Lakeland, downtown and midtown Memphis, and Millington. You can be taking your first dance lesson minutes after leaving work or your home.

You're Going to Meet People
  Fun people. We think the happiest, friendliest people in town. People like you, who are also learning to dance. Singles, Couples, and "Sort of" Singles (attached but without a partner in the studio).

You're Going to Have Fun
  Laugh. Dance. Twirl. Step on toes. Apologize. Dance. Laugh some more. Let go of your inhibitions! Dancing is such an easy way to bring enjoyment to your life. Our students say they feel energized after their lessons. Many say their best day of the week is any day they dance with Fred Astaire Dance Studio.

You Get Professional Instructors
  Our instructors are nationally certified, full time, professional teachers with hundreds of hours of training . They have the ability, dedication, and compassion to teach you to be the kind of dancer you want to be. We bring in coaches, champions, and judges to work with our staff and students on their dance lessons.  

You're Going to Feel Good
  Wouldn't you rather feel your energy soar on the dance floor than stuck on a treadmill at the health club? When your favorite song comes on, would you rather do step aerobics or dance? Ballroom dancing is an excellent, low impact way to keep fit and relieve stress. Leave your troubles at the edge of the dance floor and step into a world of class and elegance. We've been told many times: "This is my favorite time of the week." It could be yours, too.
