I love Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Old Saybrook! I recently took part in a Ladies' Night sponsored by the studio. The environment is warm and welcoming, comfortable and not at all intimidating. In addition to snacks, each of the instructors gave us a ten minute lesson to introduce us to the different types of classes they have to offer. Like the dances themselves, each instructor was different in their style and personality but all in their own wonderful ways and very proficient and professional. And it wasn't all dance - but movement that supports dance, such as Tai Chi and Yoga. I enjoyed the yoga so much that I attended the full class this past week and will be a regular going forward. Class size is small (for now!) which allows for lots of attention per student. The ten class ticket is a great deal and can be used for any of the group classes. Grab your partner or a friend and take a class. It will be fun, great exercise and increase confidence!
Raeleen and her instructors create a warm and fun atmosphere where even people with no dance experience will learn and have a blast!!
What a fun lesson with Raleen! She made my husband and I so comfortable with all our left feet and by the end of the first lesson there was hope in our hearts that we can do this! Look out Fred and Ginger!!
