We cannot thank Angel enough for the incredible experience he gave us leading up to our wedding! From the moment we walked into Fred Astaire Dance Studio, Angel made us feel comfortable, confident, and excited about our first dance. His patience, creativity, and attention to detail transformed two complete beginners into a couple who felt graceful and connected on the dance floor. Angel took the time to understand our style, our song, and what we wanted to express during our first dance. He choreographed something that was both elegant and uniquely “us.” What started as a fun project turned into one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding planning process. On our wedding day, our first dance was one of the most magical moments, and we felt prepared, relaxed, and truly in the moment. Our guests were blown away, and we owe it all to Angel. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also passionate, kind, and genuinely invested in your story, we wholeheartedly recommend Angel. He helped make our big day even more special, and we’ll cherish the experience forever! If you are on the fence about dance lessons for your big day, do it! You will not regret it. Thank you, Angel and Fred Astaire Company!! Valery and Thomas

My husband and I have been going to FADS for 5 months now and we are so happy we did! Angel has been the best instructor we could have hoped for, and Rafael’s group lessons were so much fun! We HIGHLY recommend giving it a try. Get a bit out of your comfort zone and pop-in for a group lesson (usually around 6:45 PM) to give it a shot (single or couple). We are grateful to have met so many wonderful people there!
