Fred Astaire Dance Studio Eagan

We met a lot of great people here and got a good foundation of dance skills. They have a huge turnover of instructors, which is frustrating, especially when you really like your instructor. While the curriculum is very clear and organized, the studio doesn’t do a very good job tracking your progress, and you will likely burn up a lot of lessons at $ 140 for 40 minutes reviewing material until you lock into a prepaid contract for the next level. And they almost discourage people from dancing in the «real world». Many students are comfortable as long as they are in the bubble of the studio environment, but don’t venture out beyond that. Social dancers might do better elsewhere. Oh, and while they guarantee that you can get a refund on unused lessons or can transfer them to another Fred Astaire Studio, don’t expect that to be easy or possible. And read the agreement carefully, if you even get one. (Make sure you do). If you have a lot of money to throw around, you will get some decent training here.

When we got married half a lifetime ago, we decided to take dancing lessons for the reception. And we rocked it.
A few months ago, Linda found a Groupon for the same studio (Fred Astaire in Eagan), so she signed us up, and we’ve been going every week since.
And we’re still rocking it.
Chad and Beth are our instructors and they are good at what they do. Once you get past the beginner stage, you’ll pick four dances to focus on. Their theory is that it’s as easy to learn 4 dances as it is to learn two, because so many of the steps are similar. We learning the Waltz, Rumba, Swing, and Tango. Just like Gomez and Morticia.
Some guys are going to read this and think they can’t take dance lessons because it’s too girly. All I can say to that is that dancing is foreplay. There ain’t nothing un-​manly about foreplay.
And seriously, if you go there, tell them Jason and Linda sent you. You’ll get a discount and we’ll get a free lesson.

Great great place, they have a super special right now. ME and my wife are loving it they are super professional and great teachers. Why not learn a great life skill you can share with your partner or anytime you need to dance. Its simply great
