Cost Of Lessons & Getting Started!
Our $30 introductory program consists of 2 - 30 minute private sessions and 1 group class or 1 practice session. Private classes can be scheduled from 1 PM to 10:00 PM Monday through Friday, by appointment - Saturday and Sunday. After our introductory program our prices vary since all of our students programs are designed to fit our students learning ability and desire. The Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Syracuse is just a phone call away. Call the studio and set an appointment for your first private lesson and we'll take it from there.
Do I need a partner?
No. We teach both singles and couples here at Fred Astaire Dance Studio. If you come in as one of our single students, your instructor will be your partner for your private lessons, and our groups and practice sessions will provide plenty of opportunity to meet other students with the same interests and goals.
What is a private lesson?
Private lessons consists of one student or a couple working with one instructor. These lessons provide the most benefit and ease for learning to dance since all material is catered to the individuals learning ability and desire. A couple may have one or two instructors, according to preference. Private lessons may be scheduled from 1:00 PM to10:00 PM from Monday to Friday and on Saturday and Sunday by appointment.
What is a group lesson?
A group lesson consists of several students learning from one instructor. Students work primarily on basic steps and technique. Our group classes cover a wide level of dancing providing all levels of students with the opportunity to join our classes. Check studio's calendar to find this months schedule.
What is a practice party?
Our practice parties prepare you for dancing socially and allow you to apply material learned in your lessons without the pressure of the public eye upon you. Our students attend to have fun, learn, and dance! At our parties, we dim the lights, serve refreshments, and have a fabulous time. Students have the opportunity to dance and meet other students, as well as the instructors. Check studio's calendar to find this months schedule.
What is a guest party?
Every week we will choose one night and we will sponsor a champagne guest party. Similar to an Open House, a champagne guest party gives students the chance to introduce their friends to the world and benefits of dancing while earning FREE bonus lesson for themselves! We have floor shows demonstrating the various levels of dance we teach that are performed by both students and staff. Reservations are preferred for the guest party, so call ahead to let us know that you and your friends plan to attend. Check Studio's calendar for schedule.
How should I dress for my lesson?
Wear something comfortable that won't inhibit movement. Of course, comfortable shoes are recommended! We suggest a pair of leather-soled shoes for gentlemen and a shoe with a back for the ladies.
