All About Dance in Lakewood Ranch: Fred Astaire's Central Dance Challenge Starts Today!!

With Lakewood Ranch being the 2nd best selling community in the U.S.,  you might hear lots about golf, polo, boating and fishing when looking at the list of activities offered.  Now with the advent of popular shows such as "Dancing with the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance" you can add dance sport to the list of activities being sought by our residents!

Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Lakewood Ranch has become a popular spot for those who want to learn to shake it like Julianne Hough, Lindsay Arnold, or Maks Chmerkovskiy.  No matter your age or your single status (no partner is required to learn), Fred Astaire offers private and group dance lessons for beginners as well as dancers who want to join the competitive world of dance! 

This year Fred Astaire is holding a Regional Competition right here in Sarasota
at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton!

It's a two-day event starting today showcasing professional and amateur students in all the different Ballroom dances: 
Cha cha, Rumba Tango, Foxtrot, Mambo and many more!! There will also be some student and pro showcases, as well! Friday evening showcases the professional dancers doing what they do best! On Saturday night August 11th, there will be a Professional Show by the Fred Astaire National Open Latin Champions!

The Competition is open to the public and everyone is welcome to come watch! Tickets can be purchased for $25.00 at the door! For more details give us a call at 941-405-4983
