About this studio
Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Naples teaches ballroom, Latin, smooth, rhythm, and swing dance. The studio offers private lessons, group classes, and social practice parties, structured around a teaching method backed by over 75 years of dance excellence. You can start with an introductory lesson, build a personalized plan based on your goals and experience level, develop your skills through consistent instruction, and then apply what you've learned at practice parties and social events.
The studio welcomes complete beginners, couples preparing for weddings, single adults, and anyone who wants to feel confident on a dance floor. You do not need a partner to start—your instructor becomes your partner for private lessons, and group classes and practice sessions provide chances to meet other students. The studio teaches waltz, foxtrot, salsa, rumba, cha-cha, and many other styles, with programs available for adults, kids and teens (ages 5–17), and adaptive para dance lessons for people with mobility differences or who use wheelchairs.
Kids' dance lessons help young people develop confidence, coordination, and creativity. They are structured as positive, affirming experiences that build physical health, social skills, goal-setting behaviours, and grace. The para dance programme is customized to each student's needs and taught by certified instructors trained in wheelchair dance sport instruction. Many instructors have experience teaching dancers with amputations, mobility issues, paraplegia, and quadriplegia.
The studio also offers wedding dance lessons designed to help couples prepare for their first dance with personalized or fully choreographed routines. Students can compete at regional, inter-regional, national, and international competitions, or simply dance for fun and fitness. The studio runs guest parties, showcases, spotlights, and community outreach events to help students apply what they learn in real-world social settings.
