Fred Astaire Dance Studio Downtown New York has received dozens of reviews with an impeccable average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them a phenomenal Rating Score™ of 96.00 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five dance schools and studios in all of New York!
Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:
“I came here to try to impress a girl who was taking dance lessons, and I ended up enjoying it even more than she did! Artur, Sveta and all of the teachers at the studio are amazing! Not only are they great coaches who can teach all different kinds of dance; they’re super nice, caring, funny people who treat all of their students like family. It probably explains why plenty of people have been coming here for years to attend not only lessons but also parties and competitions in the studio and around the city. You can come as a pair or solo, which is handy for those trying to impress a partner or someone completely new on a Saturday night out. [I am] so glad I gave it a shot and can’t wait to see what they teach me next!” – Sean M.
Not Your Average Dance Studio
We wanted to learn all about Fred Astaire Dance Studio Downtown New York and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the co-owner, Sveitlana Gliebova.
The first question we had for Sveitlana was what is it that sets Fred Astaire Dance Studio Downtown New York apart from their competition in New York. Here’s Sveitlana’s response:
“First of all, we are trying to be very flexible. We are one of the only studio that is open seven days a week… It’s New York City, and everybody is busy — we understand that. We don’t want to make life more complicated; we want people to enjoy coming here. We have all been dancing since we were little, and it is fun to see people of different ages and experience levels come in and learn with us. We try to show them that anything is possible.”
Sveitlana went on to say:
“We all grew up around the world competing since we were little in competitive settings. We all still compete professionally. We just opened exactly two years ago.”
We also wanted to know what their mission is at Fred Astaire Dance Studio Downtown New York and how they work to make the world a better place. Sveitlana shared their mission statement with us, which is:
“We are a global family, proudly honoring the legacy of Mr. Fred Astaire, committed to pursuing the excellence of life through dance.”
Building Success by Building a Community
Sveitlana attributes Fred Astaire Dance Studio Downtown New York’s strong online reputation to the fact that they’ve built a dance community where people enjoy spending time, as well as each other and the staff:
“We all share experiences, and people feel comfortable making mistakes and in their first dance lessons.”
Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Fred Astaire Dance Studio Downtown New York has gotten their name out there by building a presence on YouTube, advertising in local newspapers, as well as through Google, Yelp and direct mail campaigns. Sveitlana added:
“Our diverse strategy is why we have such a diverse clientele. We work with beginners, competitors, couples that come in for leisure, and we work with a lot of wedding couples.”
There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Fred Astaire Dance Studio Downtown New York has. Here’s Sveitlana’s expert advice for them:
“Be nice to everyone who comes in, and be sincere in whatever you are trying to help with. Try not to disregard any kind of advertisement; there are so many different things you can do. Keep asking your clients if they have friends of referrals.”
