Dance SchoolBallroom
Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Old Saybrook, was established in October of 2011. In 2020 under new proprietors, they’ve created an elegant, friendly, no pressure environment in which our students can learn great dance from world class instructors. The new studio completely remodeled with a total new look, with new dance classes and a whole new team of certified dance instructors.
Our most important priorities are that our students have fun while they improve their dance skills.

- PGPaula GaudetJun 5, 20255.0Wanting to get some exercise and do something fun, my husband and I started taking group dance lessons back in 2019 through our town's continuing education. Our youngest son's wedding in 2020 was further motivation to learn. Those lessons closed down with COVID and never came back. Through that program we learned that not only is dancing fun and good exercise, it engages your mind too. Looking to get back to dancing, we discovered the Fred Astaire dance studio in Old Saybrook. We started with a free lesson and were hooked on the energy of the instructors. We continued with the 5 beginner lessons and were amazed at how much we had learned in such a short time. I would say it was comparable to what we learned in a year of group lessons through continuing education. We are just finishing up our social foundation lessons with Thommy and have truly enjoyed every minute. Thommy is so talented, and he really cares that you not only learn the steps, you also learn what gives each dance style its unique characteristics and style so you look good doing them. He's funny too. I highly recommend learning to dance at Fred Astaire of Old Saybrook!

- RBRoger BabbittSep 20, 20225.0We started dance lessons because our daughter is getting married and we want to dance at the wedding. Samantha is an amazing dance instructor. She has a way of teaching the dance steps that give us confidence. We have been married 45yrs and tried dancing in the past but got frustrated and gave it up. Because of Samantha's detailed coaching and patience we are dancing and having fun! Thank you Fred Astaire Studio and Samantha, Nancy and Roger
- GCgerri combesMar 3, 20205.0I have been dancing since the end of 2016 and the studio is wonderful. The people you meet here become your second family. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable, conscientious to your learning. Dancing is something that everyone can do and learn and the staff make it a fun experience. It is a stress release, good exercise, and if you need something easy on your joints this is it! You can't ask for a better or more competent team to teach you - give it a try - you won't regret it!
