Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Moon Valley

My husband and I won two complimentary lessons at an event ahead of our wedding back in 2022, and the lessons we had there were absolutely wonderful! My husband had pretty much no prior dance experience, and I only had a little, but the choreography was simple enough that we could keep up. Our instructor also built on the basics in such a way that we felt like we learned a lot, even in just two lessons! She even caught footage of our practice dance, mostly for the purposes of reference when practicing at home, but it's also become a treasured memory. While we're no longer local to the Phoenix area, the lessons we had gave us more confidence, and have encouraged us to get into more dance in the years since our wedding. Overall, I really can't recommend Fred Astaire of Moon Valley enough!

My husband and I just came back for a refresher lesson since we took a pair of lessons for our wedding dance almost 4 years ago; we had SO much fun! Antonio is an exemplary dance instructor; conversation was light and easy, his dance knowledge is impressive, and his teaching methods make learning the steps easier to follow. Antonio does a great job with demonstrating the movements and guiding our movements as we are learning the different dances. It’s a great activity that my husband and can do together, it’s great for bonding, and it’s exercise that doesn’t feel like exercise. We highly recommend coming here even if it’s just to try it - it’s well worth it!

We recently attended a free dance lesson at Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Moon Valley and had a wonderful experience! I brought my 11-year-old son, and it was our very first time taking any kind of dance lessons. Our instructor was incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging. He made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in and took the time to guide us through each step. My son and I both had a great time learning together, and the experience was fun and welcoming for beginners. I highly recommend this studio to anyone interested in trying dance lessons, especially if it's your first time. We had an amazing experience and look forward to coming back! 💃🕺

Absolutely love this place. The entire staff are all amazing. My son is cognitively disabled and non verbal and Mr. Antonio instructs him beautifully. By the 3rd lesson my son was practically smiling through the entire lesson AND actually learned the dance. Very flexible and I highly recommend for anybody looking to learn to dance or just get out that extra energy.

First of all, I just want to say how grateful both my husband and I are to have worked with Brooke, our dance instructor. She made our special day so much more magical by helping us look like we knew what we were doing, even though neither of us are dancers. Our first dance at our wedding was a hit, people couldn't stop talking about it, all that time and effort definitely paid off. Thank you for being so patient with us, and working with us when we wanted to change things up, or when we couldn't stop looking at our own feet. As you can see from the videos we uploaded (First lesson vs wedding day), we took all of Brooke's advice and I feel like it couldn't have gone any better than it did. Much love to all of you at the studio, but a big thank you to Brooke and Ashley, who were always there for each of our visits, giving us words of encouragement and support. ❤️ Love from the newlyweds, Alyssa & Joseph Ramirez

Very friendly staff. They help you feel comfortable when learning to dance. My wife and I had Antonio as our instructor and we had an amazing time. He was definitely willing to go out of his way to help us feel comfortable there. Dasha and Manuel do a great job complimenting and teaching as well. Definitely know how to make beginners happy to learn more.

I was feeling up for doing something different, so I went and had a private lesson here and it was really cool. My instructor and lead was Antonio. He was patient and kind, yet kept gently pushing me to try my very best, so I felt I learned a lot in one session. I enjoyed that he’d drop an applicable tidbit here & there with me of dance history or philosophy - it felt like I was working with a Great. With just some basic footwork and insights on being a good follower, he had me dancing all over the floor, pretty smoothly too. For a moment I was dancing with a star, and training to become one too. 💫☺️
