Fred Astaire Dance Studios History

The Fred Astaire Dance Studio tradition began in 1947, when Mr. Fred Astaire, considered to be the greatest multi-talented dancer of all time, personally developed a practical, interrelated dance curriculum for the first Fred Astaire Dance Studio on New York City’s Park Avenue. Through continual development for more than half of a century, the Fred Astaire Dance Studios have strived to carry on the dream of Mr. Astaire and will continue to do so by having the highest possible standards set forth by the "Master of Dance."
