I cannot recommend Kristyn and Chris's dance studio enough for all ages and levels of experience. Most importantly K&C are exceedingly impressive and delightful individuals that work well together and are clearly a prized asset of the community.
My wife and I were gifted a few lessons to practice for the first dance of our wedding and our handful of lessons quickly became our most favorite part of the planning and prep process leading up to the big day. We added more lessons and have been fortunate enough to still find the time to maintain semi-regular lessons.
Instead of stuffing our faces at yet another over indulgent and increasingly expensive meal, a regular lesson is well worth the time and resources to break up our workaday routines and typical leisure past times. No matter how we feel when we first walk in, we always leave the studio feeling rejuvenated and overcome with pure delight.
As an added bonus, K&C host weekly events for their students, which are a great opportunity to practice in their wonderful and soon to be fully remodeled space and meet your neighbors.
If you're still reading this, delay no further in scheduling your first lesson. Dancing is a timeless and enriching delight for all to enjoy, but I imagine few can claim to have the privilege of learning from such caring, hard working, and talented professionals as...

We explored options in Ridgefield and found Fred Astaire. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and the pricing was reasonable, so we signed up for a package of classes.
On our first day in the studio, we were greeted by Sebastian, who would be our instructor for the weeks ahead. He was incredibly friendly and empathetic to our lack of dance experience, making us feel comfortable from day one. After each class, we felt more confident and prepared for our big day. Sebastian was patient and even taught us moves we could use at other weddings in the future. We had so much fun learning from him and soaking in the vibe of the staff and the other (more professional!) dancers in the studio.
We would 10/10 recommend Fred Astaire and Sebastian if you’re looking to learn a thing or two about rhythm! I actually am nostalgic thinking of this time last year with them....
Read moreMy wife and I love Ridgefield Fred Astaire! We started a couple years ago with a groupon (a great way to meet the instructors and learn a couple dances), and never stopped. It became our date night once a week -- a low tech getaway in this day and age, and unexpectedly rewarding. Better than a movie and dinner on so many levels: you think, you re-connect, and you laugh. The owners and instructors are super friendly, low pressure, and genuinely interested in matching the type of instruction to your interests. For single dancers, there are group classes and its easy to find a partner to practice with. In my case, it was the last thing I thought I would be doing, and now its one of the first things I look forward to every week....
