About Our Studio

Our mission statement.

Our mission is to ENRICH the lives of anyone & everyone who is associated with our company.


Memphis East Fred Astaire Dance Studio is a group of knowledgeable, talented, caring, professional dance instructors who love what they do and and want to share the love of ballroom and Latin dancing with you.  Let our dance instructors teach you to dance for your big event, your new lease on life, or just because. The instructors from the Memphis East Fred Astaire Dance Studio can teach you to dance for virtually any occasion.


How we teach and train.

We have a very simple idea of how ballroom dance lessons should go: fun and easy. That is the main focus for all levels, from beginners to advanced ballroom dance competitors.

Memphis East Fred Astaire Dance Studio teaches two types of dances: Rhythm dances and Smooth dances .  These two types include social and party dancing; ballroom and Latin dances; and competitive ballroom dancing.

Memphis East Fred Astaire Dance Studio staff is made entirely of full-time, certified, professional dance instructors. They feel that the best lessons are taught by instructors who spend their days training to teach better dance lessons and working on their own dancing. With this in mind, all dance instructors are tested regularly by the Fred Astaire National Council of Dance. All certifications must meet Memphis East Fred Astaire Dance Studio's high standards; passing is not good enough. All instructors must receive Highly Commended or better in their dance tests. The tests consists of leading and following each dance to music, solo demonstrations for each pattern in each dance, and appropriate explanations of teaching techniques.
