Our dance instructor Mark at Fred Astaire was amazing!! We went there to choreograph our first dance for our wedding. We wanted a very specific dance with a mash up of four different songs and Mark took all our ideas and created the most perfect routine! Not only did we get our wedding dance out of it but we now know how to dance for any occasion! We love the team at Fred Astaire Dance Studio in South Barrington!❤️

My husband bought classes for a couples Christmas gift and we had such a great time that we took more! Sarah and Mark are our instructors and theyve done an amazing job teaching us the basics and now were advancing on to Bronze which is a triumph in my book. They are fun and energetic with so much patience and support. We have learned so much and are having a great time in the process! All who work and dance at Fred Astaire Dance Studio South Barrington have been nothing but wonderful and professional!

Mark has been our dance instructor since February. Came in with two left feet and he has helped my fiancé and I so much. From wedding choreographies to social dancing. He’s been the best. PERIOD!

Great instructors, lots of fun to learn!

The instructors are awesome! I can go into the studio in a bad mood, and within minutes Im smiling. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. I always have a good time when Im there. Individual lessons are great for the one-on-one attention. Group classes are nice for review or learning something new, and spending time with other students. Friday night parties are fun because you can dance with other students and other instructors.Fun and a good workout!

Love this place!! I purchased an introductory special with friends from work and had a blast! The instructors were friendly and had us dancing right away. I had such a great time and decided to sign up for lessons. The instructors are incredible dancers and great people! The group classes and lessons are so much fun and great exercise. Since starting lessons here I have gained confidence and can’t stop smiling! This studio is the perfect place if you’re looking to learn to dance, make friends and have fun!!

We met this studio at a free Summer dance series in Chicago. They taught ballroom dancing for an hour and were phenomenal. The instructors were very engaging and ensured everyone picked up the steps that they were teaching. Although it was a large group, my partner and I never felt that we got lost. They even did a finale where they encouraged us to video tape them so we knew the steps. They offered a free dance lesson at their studio. This lesson was one on one. It was a bit short but that’s expected since it was free. The instructor was very nice and knowledgeable. The inside of the studio was also very spacious. Ultimately we decided to not purchase dance lessons due to the cost. Great studio though and highly recommended based on the friendly staff.

Experienced instructors who know how to teach, some very nice people. No matter what your dance goals are there is something for everyone. I love the the physical and artistic aspects and its very social. Im very happy with the place.

Great studio and great instructors!! They really work with you. My fiance and I have never danced before ever! They are very instructive and help you understand and feel comfortable. What I really love about this business is all the other clients at the studio really help you out as well and treat you like family!!

Mark was an awesome instructor. Made it a comfortable and fun experience and got us ready for our wedding.

Great space, Mark Thomas is awesome!

After 2 years of treatments and surgeries for breast cancer I was depressed and looking for something to help me find some joy. I had always wanted to dance and decided to try a lesson at Fred Astaire South Barrington. It is without question one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I lost weight, aches and pains that I had from a rough couple of years in surgery, chemo & radiation faded away and I discovered life and joy beyond anything I ever expected. The staff is remarkable - helpful, friendly, and fun, they are approachable and help you feel comfortable from the very first time on the dance floor. I love these people - and the community and fun atmosphere make Fred Astaire one of my favorite places to be!!

Nothing but good things to say about the Fred Astaire Studio in South Barrington. Love the instructors. Very good, very patient... I am truly learning, and its very exciting! The vibe here is always upbeat and positive.

Been dancing here for over three years here! I have learned so much and continue to improve my dancing. Also, I have entirely too much fun every time I walk in the door. Highly recommended for social and serious dancers. Great instruction and great people.

Studio and Instructors are wonderful! Sarah is a miracle worker took 4 left feet and made us dancers.

Had a fantastic time.
