Not Your Average Dance School
We were excited to learn all about Fred Astaire Frederick and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, David Kerich.
Fred Astaire Frederick offers a warm and welcoming environment to dancers of all skill levels. Many of their positive reviews speak of the inclusivity they have felt as a member of this dance family, as well as to the confidence they have gained, both in dance and in their lives outside the studio. They even offer complimentary lessons to first-timers!
David told us a bit about what it means to be a student at a Fred Astaire dance studio:
“We work off the Fred Astaire curriculum. Every Fred Astaire around the world uses the same syllabus and curriculum. That means that anywhere, around the world, you can pick up a class, even if you’re on vacation! We offer group classes coupled with our private lessons, so you don’t have to pay each time you come to class.”
We also talked about their business mission at this particular location:
“We’re enriching people’s lives through movement and dance! We’re giving people other ways to enjoy their lives. The awesome thing about dancing is that yes, you learn it in the studio, but it will be with you everywhere you go!”
Building Success By Valuing the Customer
Fred Astaire Frederick has earned an incredible online reputation, so we were curious about how they have marketed and grown their business. David talked about how much they value community involvement, and told us about some of the ways they have been active members of their community. They host a night out in downtown Frederick, which involves a free group class. They also host meetup groups at the studio, which are open to the public. David said that while they have utilized Facebook and Yelp, their greatest and most valuable forms of advertising have been through Google and guest referrals.
There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Fred Astaire Frederick has managed to. We asked if David could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:
“Value your customers! I would not have a studio if I did not have my students. If you take good care of them, they will take good care of you!”
Congratulations to Fred Astaire Frederick for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to David for taking the time to speak with us!
