      FAQs

      Q: Why should my fiancée and I take Wedding Dance lessons?

      A:

      From ceremony to reception, your wedding day is a celebration of your love for each other. Everything you’re planning – the venue, flowers, attire, food, music, and more will be a reflection of your style and personality, and your First Dance should be, too! For many couples, however, their First Dance can be a nerve-wracking experience. But after just a few Wedding Dance lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Chesapeake, VA, you’ll have the skills and confidence to wow your guests on the dance floor and create special memories you’ll always treasure. Wedding Dance lessons are also a great way to have fun and relax before the Big Day. Think of it as “date nights”! With all the decisions and deadlines involved in wedding planning, enjoying this time together can help you both de-stress and re-energize, and we guarantee you’ll have LOTS of fun.

      Q: Which is better, private lessons or group classes?

      A:

      We recommend starting with private lessons as they offer personalized instruction, allowing you to progress at your own pace and meet your specific goals. However, a combination of private lessons and group classes is ideal. Group classes provide a mix of partner work and basic techniques, enhancing your leading and following skills. The choice between them depends on your budget, goals, and learning style, giving you the flexibility to tailor your learning experience. https://www.fredastaire.com/chesapeakeeast/introductory-offer/

      Q: How long does it take to learn to dance?

      A:

      It depends on how often you come, how good you want to get, and how many dances you want to learn. Learning the basics typically requires just a handful of lessons. Feeling confident enough to dance to any music with any partner usually takes some time, but your progress will depend on your dedication and practice. Your instructor will guide you on the best path to achieve your dancing goals after your first lesson.

      Q: What type of shoes should I bring to my first lesson?

      A:

      When starting dance lessons, it's important to choose shoes that provide comfort, support, and the right amount of grip for the type of dance you'll be learning. Consider starting with ballroom dance shoes. These shoes typically have suede soles that provide the right amount of grip and allow for smooth movements. Ballroom shoes also come in different styles for men and women.

      Q: What should we wear for dance lessons?

      A:

      We realize that some Students arrive for lessons straight from the office, and others may be dressed more casually for their lessons – either is fine. The most important thing is to wear something comfortable, which allows you to move easily. Of course, you’ll also want to select comfortable shoes.

        We have been dancing here once a week for over a year now. A night we truly look forward to every week. Vitali and Krystyna are both fun and kind, and the studio feels like a family. We can’t recommend it highly enough

        My wife and I love this place. This was something we did not expect we’d be doing. Our instructors are fun; they laugh and smile while teaching. To me that’s important, being able to learn while having fun. The open house night brought us here, and I see many more fun dance classes to come. Plus seeing my wife smile like that makes my day. Come check it out yal!!

        My wife and I have been students for several months. We have learned so much from Krystina and Vitali! I have never enjoyed dancing until now. I highly recommend Fred Astaire in Chesapeake. This has been a fun “couple activity “ for both of us.
