Showcase Ball
A Showcase Ball is a formal evening of performances hosted by the studio. The ball is made up of students’ showcases, some of which are performed at competitions. Any student may choose to work with an instructor on a showcase. What exactly is a showcase? It is a uniquely choreographed solo routine performed by the student and the instructor. Showcases are a great way to develop expression in your dancing, as the music used is your choice, and should be something that really moves you.
Next showcase ball will be September 12th


Visiting Coaches
Our students have the option of taking advantage of our visiting coaches to receive feedback on their dancing from an esteemed member of the dance community. Visiting coaches may also provide the unique choreography for a student’s showcase.

Guest parties
Guest parties are the perfect opurtunity for our students to share their experience at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in West Hartford, as well as the joy they’ve received from dancing, with their friends. Bringing guests is also a great oppurtunity for our students to earn some free lessons! Our guest parties begin with a warm greeting and a glass of champagne, followed by performances by both students and professionals. A bit more general dancing and then Fred Astaire’s right hand man stops by to finish the evening with a group lesson.
