My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with Hailey at Fred Astaire - New Berlin, WI. We showed up to our free introductory wedding dance class straight from work—steel toe boots, dirty hands and all — and she treated us like royalty. She was warm, welcoming, and incredibly patient, and made us feel completely at ease. Neither of us feels very confident dancing, but she made it feel perfectly okay to be beginners. We also really appreciated that she respected our wish to just try the free class without any pressure. The whole experience was so positive that we'd absolutely come back if we get the chance. If you're nervous about learning to dance, especially for a wedding, we highly recommend Hailey.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for highlighting Hailey’s warmth and patience. It’s wonderful to hear that you both felt comfortable and supported during your introductory class, even after a long day. Your kind words about feeling at ease as beginners and enjoying a no-pressure environment mean a lot. Wishing you both the best as you prepare for your wedding, and thank you for recommending Hailey to others who might be feeling a bit nervous about dancing.
We had an excellent experience leading up to our wedding! The entire staff is so welcoming and friendly. Patrick is an expert coach with many years of experience, but could make it relatable for newbies like us. Learning a new skill with your partner was so much fun at Fred Astaire! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun new hobby or challenge with your partner! -Erik & Andie

My husband, Garrett, and I performed our choreographed first dance last Saturday at our wedding and it was a hit. Everyone said our dance was their favorite part of the night. We couldn’t have done it without Sasha at Fred Astaire. If you are looking for dance lessons, look no further! This is the place. They are welcoming, fun, festive, and always focused on meeting you where you are.

Want to feel good? The Fred Astaire Dance Studio in New Berlin is the place to go. The people are inspiring, hilarious and awesome -- pros and fellow students. I've tried different kinds of dances and lessons but nothing stuck until now. This is a place to build confidence and enjoy a vibrant community no matter how serious (or not serious) you are about dancing.

Thank you for sharing such positive feedback, Paul. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying dancing and that our instructors in New Berlin have made your experience so memorable. Your enthusiasm is truly appreciated!
I cannot recommend Fred Astaire Dance Studio enough for wedding dance lessons. As a couple with no prior dance experience, my fiancé and I were initially nervous about our ability to learn a dance routine for our wedding. However, Hailey quickly put us at ease with her clear instruction and encouraging feedback. The studio itself provided a comfortable environment with spacious dance floors and excellent instructors. The flexibility in scheduling lessons was also a huge plus, allowing us to fit sessions into our busy wedding planning and work schedule. Most importantly, Hailey tailored the lessons to our specific needs and desires for our wedding dance! 10 STARS!

My fiance and I had an amazing experience with using Fred Astaire dance studio leading up to our wedding. We both work long and odd hours and they were able to easily accommodate our schedules. Our teacher Hailey was fantastic to work with and choreographed our entire dance and taught us so we felt confident for our wedding day. The lessons were fun and not overwhelming or stressful in anyway for someone completely new to dancing. Would highly recommend!
