Fred Astaire Dance Studios

My wife and I took lessons for our son and his fiance's wedding and we had a great time and learned 5 or 6 dances! Julia and Alec are very professional and made it a lot of fun! They just made it so easy to understand the different dances and the steps even though a little tricky came easily with practice and their guidance! Julia was our main instructor she's so sweet and patient and made it so easy for us to learn without frustration. The studio atmosphere is calming and relaxing and the music was wonderful! Our biggest thanks to Julia and Alec for giving us the confidence and skil to be able to dance at our son's wedding!

Alex and Julie were INCREDIBLE teachers. We had 0 dancing experience prior and we felt so prepared for our wedding first dance. SO many people complimented our dance and the lifts and dips definitely got the crowd going! We cannot recommend them enough!! Our dance was perfection!!

Julia and Alex were recommended to us for first dance lessons by my mother in law. On the first visit they were extremely friendly and showed us basic steps right away. They have many different options for lessons to fit your experience level and schedule. Lessons are very affordable for the amount of effort they put into our dance. They cut our song perfectly and helped us every step of the way. Julia and Alex structured our dance to fit our style and made sure we understood the routine and were comfortable with all the moves. We just finished our last lesson and are so relieved to have them. They are amazing instructors and even better people!!!! Thank you Alex and Julia

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with the ten lesson set in preparation for our son's wedding. Both Aleksei and Julia were patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable and professional with our lessons. We highly recommend this talented couple to anyone, even those with two left feet!

Alex and Julia are the most friendly people and we couldn’t be happier with the level of service we received. They are extremely professional, and fun! You walk into the studio and are greeted with a hug every time. Alex taught us our first dance for our wedding, and he just did the best job ever. He taught us the basics, and designed the dance exactly to our vision. He adapts on the fly to adjust timing of moves, is able to increase/decrease the difficulty level, and he demonstrates every move with ease while explaining body position through metaphor. The entire experience was so enjoyable we want to go back and learn another dance! Thank you again Alex and Julia for helping make our wedding day so memorable. - Jordan and Nickie

Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Huntingdon Valley is truly incredible! My wife surprised me with lessons as a Valentine’s Day gift, and it has been one of the best experiences we’ve shared. We’re currently working with their amazing team, who created a perfect custom song and first dance routine for our wedding, completely tailored to us. As someone new to dancing, I’ve felt fully supported. Their teaching method is perfected, clear, encouraging, and easy to follow. The instructors are not only skilled but genuinely care about your progress. They’ve helped me grow so much, and every lesson is something we look forward to. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, meaningful, and confidence-boosting experience! #FredAstaireHuntingdonValley #WeddingDanceExperts #ValentinesGift #FirstDanceMagic #BestDanceStudioPA

Alex and Julia are some of the friendliest people I ever met. They really love to teach people how to dance and they take their time with every student to make sure they get quality instruction. I can't recommend them enough. Currently I am learning Salsa, Bachata, Rhumba and Waltz.

2 weeks before our wedding I had a crazy idea of my fiancee and I learning a choreographed dance for our first dance together. With 0 experience and 2 left feet we walked into their studios for our intro lesson. We immediately felt comfortable with both Aleks and Julia, learned a couple moves that first night, and signed up for a condensed accelerated dance curriculum. They created a perfect series of moves for us that were just challenging enough and went great with our song. They even offered their studios the last few days leading up to the wedding to practice at night even after our classes ended. We executed on the dance this past Saturday and it was SO beautiful and a crowd pleaser. Just amazing professionals who care so much about what they do! I can’t recommend them enough.10 outta 10!!!

I absolutely love my dance lessons at the Fred Astaire studio in Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania with Alex. He is so patient, encouraging and fun! We are focusing on Argentine Tango, West Coast Swing, Salsa and Hustle. I get such good instruction on the mind/body connection as well as a great workout!

I have been dancing for over 10 years mostly social. I switched studios to Fred Astaire in Huntington Valley because I was seeking the experience in different types of dances . Alex is my professional instructor. I have been dancing with Alex for nearly two months and have learned more dancing with Alex than the 10 years prior. Alex and his wife, Julia who is also a professional dance instructor as well ,are detailed oriented on step patterns for any dance that I would like to learn. Alex and his wife, Julia meet me at the door of the studio at every lesson with a welcoming hello. That means a lot. If you are searching for a professional , non judgemental , encouraging and supportive dance instructors …you need to be dancing with ALex and Julia at Fred Astaire in Huntington Valley.👏👏

What can I say, it's been one of the funnest and enriching hobbies I ever took up in my life. Before learning under Alexsei and Julia I was always afraid and anxious to ever make an appearance whenever dancing was involved in social events. But 6 months in and I can say without any doubt that it was one of the best decisions I ever made and it never cease to astound me how often their training has come in handy in my life whether it's meeting strangers in foreign countries, or making a strong impression at weddings and festivals this class has truly paid for itself tenfold.

Super friendly dance school. Aleksei and Julia are awesome instructors for pros or beginners like me. Whoever you are you’ll learn to dance or improve your form. Give them a chance to make you better and you’ll have fun and hear many funny stories along the way.

My spouse and I were a little nervous. But I must say that we learned so much. We will certainly continue the classes. Alex is amazing and made our development seamless.

This is a five star studio… so many opportunities to learn to dance with the best. Alex, Julia and the studio team will tailor a dance program for you. As internationally decorated professional ballroom dancers, they will share their expertise and help every student realize their dance goals. For several years I studied with Alex and Julia . . . I continue to benefit from their instruction and skill.

I am not a student but enjoy attending their events very much! My friend is a student of owner Alex and he is amazing! She’s made so much progress and loves everything about FADS Huntingdon Valley!
