My fiance and I just finished dance lessons with Olga and we couldnt recommend her more. She is so sweet and talented and really understands how to customize the experience to everyone individually. She made the classes easy, fun, and stress-free. She was always prepared in advance with knowledge of our song and choreographed steps. There were a few instances where we wanted to change her choreography and she immediately thought of other options for us. My fiance and I are definitely not professional dancers but she was very patient. We improved a lot between the first and last sessions and thats a testament to her talent as both a dancer and a teacher. Definitely book with her if youre looking for dance lessons!

Eugene patiently worked with my fiancé and I and we loved every minute. Dance lessons were the best part of our wedding planning process. Olga and Eugene also offered 2 lessons for each of our parent dances which helped my dad feel more confident and enjoy the father daughter dance!

My fiancé and I worked with Olga to take lessons for our first dance at our wedding. She was patient with us and took the time to explain every move. We were worried since neither of us have a lot of dance experience and our song choice was a challenging one to work with, but we’ve made huge improvements. She also taught us some moves that would work for each of our dances with our parents and threw in some fun hustle moves so we could learn how to dance to upbeat music together. We’ve had fun taking the time to dance together each week and are so excited for our wedding! Would definitely recommend!

Olga is the best teacher in the dance biz! I injured my Achilles and she was ableto choreograph a wonderful dance for my beautiful bride and I! The studio is very convenient at 2nd and arch. I would highly recommend Olga she is a student of dance and gave us the confidence to perform our choreography!

Taking ballroom dance classes with Olga was an absolute game-changer for us, especially as we prepared for our wedding dance. Before starting the classes, we were admittedly terrible dancers, lacking coordination and confidence on the dance floor. However, Olgas expertise, patience, and encouraging teaching style transformed us completely.If you are preparing for a special occasion or simply looking to improve your dance skills, Olga & Fred Astaire studio is the perfect studio and instructor to guide you every step of the way.

We’ve been taking dance lessons with Evgenii for a few months now and have had been having the BEST time. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient, and has a great sense of humour. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new, learn how to dance, or just have fun with their partner! 💕

My wife and I took lessons to prepare for our first dance for our wedding, and Olga and Evgenii were truly the best to learn from! We shared the wedding song we had picked out and they took care of the rest, from teaching us the basic steps of the Foxtrot and Hustle, to choreographing our entire dance. They were so patient with us throughout the whole process, and were very receptive to all of our questions. Additionally, they were so kind to allow us to use their studio to practice on our own time. My wife and I are so happy that we learned a special dance for our wedding, and our guests were definitely impressed as well. We cant forget to mention that it also served as a great stress reliever during wedding planning too!

I love my time spent taking lessons here. The welcoming atmosphere and the vibrant energy of the place were palpable. The instructors here are exceptional. Not only are they incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in various dance styles, but their passion for dance and teaching is evident in every class. They provide personalized attention to each student, ensuring that everyone, from beginners to advanced dancers, feels supported and challenged. I am particularly impressed with the studios commitment to fostering a positive and nurturing environment. They organize regular events and social dances that allow students to connect, share their experiences, and celebrate their progress together.

We had a wonderful experience learning our first wedding dance with Evgenii. He is the best instructor you could ask for! We had no previous dance experience and were able to learn a beautifully choreographed dance in just 5 lessons! Evgenii’s instructions were very clear and he made us both feel very comfortable right away! Evgenii is an excellent teacher, very positive, and very inspiring!! We highly recommend this studio!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of dancing with Eugen and Olga for over 5 years. They are incredibly gifted dancers, patient teachers and a TON of fun to learn from!!! Ballroom dancing has been so good for us in many ways. It’s great exercise that’s actually fun, it’s an activity that we can do together and we’ve made good friends along the way. We would never dance at weddings or other gatherings before we started lessons at Fred Astaire- if you’re looking for a fun and fulfilling activity, check out Fred Astaire Philadelphia!

Eugen and Olga are simply the best. They make you feel welcome and that you can accomplish anything. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about all things in the world of ballroom dance, they treat you like family and make you feel at home. Dancing can be intimidating and they never cease to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable.

My wife and I have been working with Eugene and Olga for several years. Under their coaching we are now winning national championships. They are fantastic as instructors. We work hard but have a mountain of fun along the way. I am so thankful for their friendship and for what they have given me. Dance has helped me immensely with my confidence, as well as my physical and mental agility. I am truly blessed to be able to work with them, and to have them as dear friends.

We’ve been learning dancing here for more than 9 months now. We are happy about the whole experience. Our instructors helped to choreographed our wedding dance, and we are happy with the outcome. I love the dance parties hosted on Friday evenings. There is always another type of dance to learn, and everyone can participate. I am so glad that we find this place.
