The whole team at Greenfield Fred Astaire was amazing and supportive but Olena really went above and beyond. As our private dance instructor she was funny, light hearted, patient and kind as my fiance Becky and I fumbled our way through the first few private lessons. She was a wonderful teacher and challenged us just enough each lesson to push our skills forward while still maintaining a fun and exciting experience. We eventually ended up with a BEAUTIFULLY choreographed first dance that was perfect for us! Olena was receptive to our feedback and attentive to our needs and was amazingly supportive every lesson. We had a blast learning this new skill together and it brought us closer learning a new hobby and gaining a confidence that extended beyond just dancing. Highly recommend this studio to anyone, we had a blast and are so proud of our first dance thanks to Olena and Fred Astaire Greenfield!
Thank you for sharing your kind words about Olena. It’s wonderful to hear that her patience and instruction made a positive impact on your experience. Your feedback means a lot to us.
Such amazing people, beginner friendly and party is always a good time :)

Thanks Sara for the wonderful review of Fred Astaire Dance Studios. We appreciate you taking time to leave your feedback and we look forward to continuing to dance with you! It's such a pleasure having you as part of our dance family.
The dance instructors are incredibly talented and wonderful to work with. They care so deeply about helping us learn and improve. We have been working with them the last 8 months from beginners to choreographing our wedding dance. The dance parties are so fun and everyone is incredibly nice! We love it so much and are so grateful for Denys and Olena!

It's fantastic to hear that you and your fiancé are enjoying your lessons and finding our studio welcoming for beginners. Your recommendation means a lot, and we appreciate you being part of our dance community.
We had an incredible experience with this dance studio! All of the teachers were amazing, but Denys and Olena truly stood out. They created the perfect choreography for our first dance and somehow turned someone with no rhythm into a confident dancer. Their patience, creativity, and energy made every lesson something we looked forward to. Easily the best teachers I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience and kind words about Denys, Olena, and the rest of the teaching team. It’s fantastic to hear that you felt supported and inspired throughout your dance journey, and that your first dance choreography was a special highlight. We’re delighted that the lessons brought you joy and confidence—your recommendation truly means a lot.
My husband and I attended as something to do for a date night and had such a fun time connecting that we signed up for classes. The instructors are so patient and easy going but still professional and motivating.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, Atalie. It’s fantastic to hear that your date night was both fun and meaningful, and that our instructors made you feel supported and motivated. We’re delighted to have you and your husband dancing with us and look forward to many more memorable moments together.
I went here with my fiance for dance lessons leading up to our wedding. Olena was an amazing teacher. She taught us the basics of waltz and choreographed a first dance that we could actually learn and remember in just 3 lessons. We've already started talking about going back for other lessons after our wedding just because we enjoyed the lessons so much!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Olena and Dennis. It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed preparing for your wedding and felt supported every step of the way. Your kind words about the instructors mean a lot, and it's great to know you had such a positive time in the studio. We can't wait to have you back to join us again!
I’ve been dancing at this studio for about three years. I started with no dance experience, just curiosity about what ballroom dancing was like. The owner and instructors are among some of the best in the industry, and it shows in the quality of instruction and the overall atmosphere of the studio.
I’ve had the opportunity to learn from several instructors, and each brings something unique while consistently making lessons fun, engaging, and focused on growth and development.
Beyond the dance lessons, one of the best parts of this experience has been the community. I’ve met so many wonderful students and built genuine friendships within such a fun, supportive, and encouraging group.
Over the past three years, I’ve not only gained confidence in myself and my dancing abilities, but I’ve also seen improvements in my overall health and well-being. I’m grateful I decided to give dancing a try. I highly recommend this studio to anyone considering ballroom dancing, no matter their experience level.
