Fred Astaire Franchise Dance Studios was founded in 1947 by Fred Astaire himself and was the first dance franchise established.  Mr. Fred Astaire wanted to establish a chain of studios under his name to make sure that his techniques would be preserved and passed onto the public.  Mr. Astaire was instrumental in the choice of dance curriculum and instructional techniques.  With the opening of the first Fred Astaire Studios in Park Avenue in New York City, Fred Astaire brought his immense talent out of the glamour of Hollywood and onto the dance floors of America and the world.


Today, numerous Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios, located in cities throughout North America and internationally are required to maintain the highest standards of excellence through our National Dance Board and Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios Curriculum certification.  Although Mr. Astaire is no longer with us in person, our studios have produced a wealth of amateur and professional dancers who are living embodiments of his style and grace.
