Where:
Fred Astaire Dance Studio
1315 Route 9

Our next dance party is scheduled for February 19th starting at 8:30. We had a great time at the last event and look forward for a repeat!

We are getting high demands for booking lessons just before the party to brush up on their skills. If you would like to try the same, call in advance to schedule a private lesson before the party. These spots fill up fast though so don't wait to long to schedule.

See you on the dance floor!!!

It's Party Time!

Hope y'all had a nice, relaxing weekend!   Here is your short little bulletin for the upcoming week....
 
1. As we gear up for the week ahead, remember that we are having a party this week, Friday, January 29th at 8:30 pm. Please feel free to bring along any guests that you think would enjoy the event.  If you think they would be more comfortable, you can always book a lesson for them prior to the party to get a few basics under their belt.  We had a nice turnout at the last party that took advantage of the very same!
 
2. Competition news - I am happy to report that we have 5 confirmed competitor's for our March competition in Atlantic City, NJ. It might be more but as I have not seen the entire team for a while, I don't know the specifics.  It seems we are on our way to hosting our biggest team ever!  If you are interested in joining the team, NOW is the time to inform your instructor.   
 
ok..that's enough for now! enjoy your week and remember...
 
WORK HARD, DANCE HARDER....

Tony Dovolani - Live and In Person!!!

  • Mood:

What an exciting weekend it was for us at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Dutchess! 

We had a mini reunion with

Tony Dovolani of Dancing with the Stars!

For those of you that don't know it, Tony was one of the founding owners of the Dutchess studio!  Can you believe that!  Since then he has risen to international super stardom in ballroom dancing on a professional competitive level and has been a fan favorite on Dancing With the Stars. 

Even more amazing is that he is still the sweetest guy!

So Thank You Tony for putting up with us this weekend!  I promise we'll vote for you in the next season   (Not that we didn't already!!!)

You can see us pictured above...Alex (current owner), Tony (sweetheart), and me (with a cold and laryngitis so ignore me)

What I Want for Christmas?

  • Mood:
  • Music: All I Want for Christmas

The Holiday Season is here!  Christmas is coming and the hustle and bustle of all that surrounds it begins! 

Folks are getting ready for all kinds of Holiday Parties filled with food, music, and dancing.  A great gift is a gift certificate from Fred Astaire to get ready for all the festivities!  It's no fun being a wallflower!

Gift Certificates for Ballroom Dance lessons are a wonderful treat for your friends and relatives. They can be used as a Christmas present, Birthday present, Valentines' Day gift, and Wedding gift as well!

It is an experience they will always remember! The fact is most people have always wanted to try ballroom dancing, but something always holds them back. It can be nerves or the fear of the unknown.  A gift certificate is a great way to help them overcome these initial obstacles and nudge them out the door!

At the Fred Astaire Studio in Dutchess, we offer gift certificates for all budgets. Certificates are valid up to one year after purchase. So give us a call at 845-297-2711 and we can get you set up.

If you are not from our area, check out www.fredastaire.com to find the studio closest to you to help you with your Holiday Shopping!
