Fred Astaire Dance Studios — Attraction in Town of North Hempstead

My husband and I started taking dance lessons at Manhasset Fred Astaire before our daughter’s wedding, just so we could do more than sway back and forth on the dance floor. Well, the wedding has come and gone and we’re still here! Little did I know that this would ignite a passion that has become a major part of my life! I have learned so many styles of dance that I never even knew existed. During the day, I temporarily escape my stressful challenges by mentally rehearsing my rumba routine! The teachers here really make the difference. They are exceptional prize-winning professionals, as you will notice from the walls teeming with trophies. The owners, Marisa and Eugene, along with all the instructors, Bryan, Ayako and Eugene B., genuinely care about us and do their all to make dancing so much fun. You cannot walk in without your mood immediately lifting and you can’t walk out without a huge smile on your face. The atmosphere of the studio is warm, friendly and energetic, and it has become an avenue for us to meet new and exciting people. I have better posture and balance and more energy and flexibility. And I have lost weight! There is no medicine available that can give you all these benefits. And no...

Martha Graham once said; “Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.” As soon as you walk into the Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Manhasset, the instructors’ love of dance is not only infectious, but they are also driven and enthusiastic to pass this joy on to each of their students. The four instructors are all individuals in their own rite, but by coming together they create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Eugene’s cheerful wit combined with Marisa’s classic elegance, Alex’s patience for perfection and Tara’s sweet zest for life make each lesson utterly enjoyable and a pleasant way to end your evening.

A little over a year ago I started taking dance lessons at this studio to fulfill a desire to explore my creative soul. Dancing not only enabled me to live my truth and express my feelings, but helped me further embrace life’s blessings. This studio is truly a special place and I highly recommend pursuing lessons here. It is a place where you’ll not only learn the technique of dance well, but your life will be enriched by being exposed to the...

Looved it! The best dancing studio on Long Island! All the instructors are very professional, very skilled and they have magnificent kind and patient personality. They have all competed nationally and you can see their talent on the dance floor. Eugene and Eugene are quite the pair. Their talent is just as big as their personalities. My husband and I used to go there very Thursday and Friday for a private classes. We used to stay afterwards for their Friday's Dance party. We had the best time, it became our weekly hangout for months and months. We were treated like family not just by the instructors, but also by the other students. They all really made us feel welcomed from the first day. We were complete beginners, but they all made us feel like superstars. Had we not moved out of state we would have continue going every week. We missed dancing and we miss our little family from Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Manhasset. Highly recommend. Totally worth it. You will have...
