Fred Astaire Dance Studio Ottawa is an absolute gem! The team is not just instructors; they're maestros of fun on the dance floor. Their enthusiasm and guidance make every lesson thoroughly enjoyable. With their help, we're working to reach our goal to dance like Fred and Ginger…but at the after party; a little awkward, a few missed steps, and somewhat unbalanced but still full of elegance and grace :). From the studio lessons to the practice parties, their passion for dance shines through, making every step a delightful journey. If you're looking to learn to dance with a well planned and structured curriculum while having a blast doing it, look no further than Fred Astaire Dance Studio Ottawa!

I was happily surprised with how great this is. Honestly, whether you have never danced before or have lots of experience, this studio covers all levels.

The teachers here are so thoughtful of teaching at your pace, and you can tell they really love dance and are well versed in many different styles. If you are a beginner you’ll be surprised how fun the lessons are and how well they explain to make things easy for students; and if you are experienced you will be amazed by their depth of knowledge and skill to help you build on top of your experience. A gem within in the city for sure!

My fiance and I have been coming for 4 months now. It's been a great experience so far. Dancing is a great life skill and translates well with various sports such as golf. As a Personal Trainer, I believe the hip movements and various body rotations would benefit any athlete.

The staff are all very kind and a huge shout out to our instructor Kayla! She always brings enthusiasm and energy and she's a huge reason why we're continuing to our bronze level and possibly further.

Dancing is a fun hobby and a great date night. I would recommend Fred Astaire to anyone.

I love my dance lessons at the Ottawa Fred Astaire Dance Studio! I sometimes feel like I have two left feet, but the incredibly talented instructors have been successful in teaching even me, and making it fun in the process.

I appreciated that it wasn’t necessary to register with a partner. Their lessons are very adaptable, with flexible scheduling, so I benefit in my own lessons equally as well as the student couples, through private and group lessons. And the studio dance parties are another great way to practice and have fun with other students! I’ve met a lot of nice people also taking lessons! Big dance floor, great variety of music. So far I’ve learned waltz, foxtrot, tango, swing and cha-cha, and I continue to learn, improve and have fun under their guidance.

Awesome experience as a couple!! We're taking private classes with Isabel, she's very funny and professional, guides us kindly always with a smile and pushes our natural talent for dancing further (lol) we're beginners. We've been going weekly, making the dance class a very special date night every week and we're very much looking forward to it. It always cheers us up no matter how bad the work day way and how tired we are. We recommend! It's a game changing activity!

I started dancing about two years ago at the Fred Astaire Dance Studios. I simply wanted to try something new. Little did I know back then, dance would have become my new hobby! I fell in love with tango after my first lesson. It was love at first steps!!  Fast forward two years later, I am amazed about the progress and confidence I have gained while dancing. The instructors are very friendly and helpful.  Dance became a part of my weekly schedule. It is not only a great way to exercise and stay fit while expressing my creativity. Dance became my time of the week where I allow myself to pause and take a mental break to have a blast at the studio and learn new things!
