Vincent is an excellent teacher. My fiancé and I did 2 classes with him, and we learned solid foot work for our first dance. He is very knowledgeable and equally hilarious.

A wonderful experience with wonderful pros making it so. Relaxing and friendly. Our teacher Robert Rocha is exceptional in his dancing and in very his relatable teaching. The entire staff is like a second family to us now. I'm pushing 80 and,believe me, you're never too old or too young to enjoy this fabulous adventure. GO DANCE!!!

After four years with Fred Astaire in Texas, I moved to Florida and joined Fred Astaire in Stewart. Jill and Greg, co-owners, were very friendly, and after some discussions, we made a plan to accomplish my long-term goals in ballroom dancing. It has been a fantastic two years in which I have learned two new styles of dancing, attended multiple competitions, and made several new friends. There are lessons or group lessons available. There are monthly studio parties where we all get to socialize and dance with each other. The other instructors, Vincent, Robert, Dana, and Amy are all extremely friendly and very good instructors. If you are a beginner or an experienced Dancer, want to do social, dancing, or competitive dancing then this studio will definitely meet your needs

Everyone at this studio is very competent, friendly, and has a deep knowledge of dance. The instructors want to help you towards your goal, but also want to push you a bit more to be better at this art. I had not danced for 2 years because of being in Oregon with the lockdowns, and now I'm enjoying dancing as much as I did when I first started!
