My wife and I worked with Michelle at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in San Mateo to prepare for our wedding dance, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Going into it, we were both a little nervous and had no idea what we were doing. Michelle immediately put us at ease. She was patient, encouraging, and somehow made every lesson something we looked forward to each week.
What impressed us most was how well she choreographed a dance that actually felt like us. She took the time to understand our song, our personalities, and our comfort level, then created something that looked great without ever feeling forced or overly complicated.

I like Aira’s Tuesdays evening advanced class. I’ve learned a lot from her.
Fred Astaire San Mateo ( formerly Dance Vita) is a great dance studio with high quality professional instructors and friendly dancing environment! I started learning international standard dances and other ballroom dances as a total beginner in this studio in 2017. It has been a great experience in learning and dancing here for the past 9 years! I have learned so much by taking group and private lessons that are taught by very capable and patient professional instructors. The front desk administrators are very nice too! Highly recommended!
