Dmitriy and Oksana are amazingly talented and incredibly kind and encouraging. They have created a fun and welcoming dance community in Bloomington, and I look forward to participating every week. World of Dance is one of Bloomingtons gems, and I recommend it to anyone - experienced dancer or novice - with a desire to enrich their life and make new friends.

My wife and I love working with Dimitry and Oksana. Our dancing has progressed very rapidly and we love all the challenges that they give us to improve our dancing. They are so energetic and kind that we truly value our time working with them. We cant wait for our next lessons!

I’ve been working with this studio for almost two years both with my husband in social dance and as a pro/am competitor. Their attention to detail, level of service, and love of creating beautiful dancers is unparalleled. You are known, and you are pushed to become a graceful and balanced dancer. They give much more than steps, but a clear foundation of technique showing you the work it takes to look controlled, confident, and grounded—not uncertain and restricted on the dance floor. If you are looking for a personal experience and want to become a great ballroom dancer, this is where you should go.—Erin Parks3rd Place Fred Astaire World Championship American Smooth Pro/Am Bronze

My dad and I had a great time learning a waltz with Oksana! We came in only about 5 weeks before my wedding, and everything went very smoothly. Oksana is lovely and professional. What a great experience!

Never been, but it is owned and operated by two of my favorite people on the planet, if that counts for anything. Top notch dancers that can teach you any style from a sweet first wedding dance to a scorching, competition-worthy tango. 💯❗

We have a very small amount of basic dance experience and received a dance package as a gift. I wasn’t sure what to expect in a private lesson having only done a few group lessons before. Dmitri was a wonderful instructor- he made us feel comfortable right away, gave clear easy to understand instructions, and was super encouraging and high energy. Already planning how to continue lessons after our gift lessons are used up.

100% recommend taking lessons at World of Dance Studio to anyone wanting to learn ballroom dancing, no matter their level. These are professionally trained dancers who can take you from complete beginner to competing level, or just teach you to have a good time with no pressure to perform, if that is what you are looking for. Their teaching technique is as enjoyable as it is excellent, and you will come out of your lesson with a big smile on your face! Excellent investment on your physical, emotional and mental health!

My wife and I had a dance lesson for a special occasion. Oksana and Dmitriy are both so enthusiastic about their work and such patient instructors, I think they would set anyone at ease. Clearly they have been doing this forever. At moments when I was less confident (and I swear I did not telegraph it), she sensed it and responded with positive feedback. We had a wonderful time. They seem to be fantastic people performing work that is their calling. Im sure this accounts for the large group of folks we watched finish up prior to our appointment. Positive recommendation.

It is an amazing experience to dance at the studio. Teachers are able to cater to completely different levels of partners (I have 10 years of dancing experience, my husband had 0). Dmitry was able to create an outstanding wedding routine for us. I recommend the place to everyone for fun, for competitive dancing and for discovering the world of dance.

I love both the teachers at this studio they are very upbeat and happy and do a great job making everything simple and developing the movements and dances in a easy to follow way so you are never trying anything that is difficult to succeed at. The lessons fly by and feel like they only lasted a few minutes thats the best way I know to tell that I am having a blast.

Lively and fun! Superb instruction; no intimidation; welcoming and warm. A great place to experience dance. Not only are the teachers great dancers, theyre great teachers of dance, and those two things are not necessarily synonymous. Thank you for being in Bloomington!

I strongly recommend this studio for any competitive collegiate dancers like myself, but also anyone who just wants a fun hobby. Dmitriy & Oksana go above and beyond to provide the best dancing experience possible. The lessons are very efficient; I learn so much in so little time. Their incredible energy and enthusiasm make the lessons very fun as well. My ballroom dance experience would not have been the same without them, and Im confident youll say the same.

We worked with Oksana from Fred Astaire Dance Studio to create and practice our first dance for our wedding. Oksana was very patient with us as neither my husband or I had had any dance experience. She created a dance that was accessible, fun, and went along with our first dance song. We were also invited back to the studio before our wedding to practice our dance in front of an audience. Overall, we had a great experience working with Oksana and I would recommend her and studio!

Where to begin--I absolutely love going to Fred Astaire. If youre concerned about whether or not youll have a good time, you definitely will. The owners/instructors, Dmitriy and Oksana, are so kind, encouraging, and excited about dance. They give great feedback too--over the past few months, I feel like Ive learned a tremendous amount. I see the improvement from week to week.And its important to know that I initially went into this whole thing with a really bad attitude. We went because my fiances parents bought us a free lesson for the holidays. I didnt want to do it...so I begrudgingly went to the studio expecting to hate dancing. But from the moment I walked in, I felt at home. It was a lot of fun! I cant recommend this studio enough.Great people. Great dancers. Great teachers. This is the place to go!

I cant say enough good things about Dmitriy and Oksana at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio. Theyre wonderful instructors (knowledgable, helpful, kind, patient, and enthusiastic) and make the experience very enjoyable. If not for them, I dont think we wouldve spent the past 6 months learning and improving at ballroom dancing -- Im very glad we found them as our teachers and I look forward to our lesson next week!

Thanks to Oksana and Dmitriy we have more fun than weve ever had when we go out dancing and are looking forward to continuing lessons with them!My husband Sam and I began taking dance lessons with Oksana and Dmitriy this past year and have had an incredible experience. They are both fabulous instructors, have great prices, and the studio is a wonderful and comfortable space to practice in. I had done some dance lessons abroad before, but my husband had not and they were able to design classes for us that fit both of our interests and skills perfectly. Oksana has been our instructor and has been absolutely incredible. She is an incredibly kind, knowledgable and positive teacher who makes every lesson enjoyable and we always feel like we walk away having learned something new.

Dancing fills my whole being, it is like lighting a dynamite spark, I feel that my spirit carries my body (and not the other way around as in reality). World of Dance taught me that there are no limits, neither age, nor language, nor being shy or clumsy, etc., if it is in you, let it out and fly. Thanks to my 2 teachers, Dmitriy and Oksana, for their patience and dedication in each of their classes ...
