The Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Southbury, opened their doors in December of 2011 and we have created an elegant, friendly, no pressure environment in which our students can learn great dance from world class instructors. Our most important priorities are that our students have fun while they improve their dance skills. Fred Astaire took great pride in a standard of excellence which is still alive and well in our studio. Our instructors have completed a rigorous training program and are Certified teachers. We train and promote our students through the trophy system and have beginners, social dancers, competitors, and advance level dancers. Our unique qualifications both in American and International Styles allow any student to progress from a beginner to any goal they set for themselves in a very short time frame.
We serve the following communities in Connecticut: Southbury, Woodbury, Oxford, Naugatuck, Seymour, Waterbury, Watertown, Ansonia, New Milford, Prospect, Derby, Shelton, Woodbridge, Wolcott, Plymouth, Thomaston, Washington and Huntington, Newtown, Bethel, and surrounding towns.
We had such an amazing time at Fred Astaire. The experience was totally worth it! Zlata helped us put together our first wedding dance even though we didn’t know how to dance. She was very patient and made the process so fun and easy. We even learned other dance moves from other genres. Everyone at the studio was great, and we’re really glad we worked with them!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better dance teacher than Zlata at Fred Astaire Dance Studio when learning a first dance for our wedding! We came in knowing essentially nothing about dance or what we wanted out of a first dance and left after just a few weeks with a whole routine that we felt confident about and received rave reviews from our guests! Zlata was so patient and encouraging throughout the whole process - she so quickly understood our strengths and weakness and was so much fun to be around. We hope to be back soon to learn a new dance - maybe for our one year anniversary!

I walked through the doors of FADS Southbury for the first time in January 2024 and was immediately welcomed with smiles and a sense of support from the fantastic instructors. As a dance student for years, I had never taken a ballroom class before, and at first, I was questioning myself. But by May, I was participating in my very first competition! From there, I was hooked, and I continued on to compete in Team matches and Nationals.
The fun and support I’ve received at every event and during each lesson have been unparalleled compared to anything I’ve ever experienced. If you're considering ballroom dancing, look no further—check out my friends at Southbury FADS! They don’t disappoint!
