The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by legendary toe tapper Fred Astaire himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group activities provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations, and amateur firewalking during practice parties. Guests can also garner instruction during group activities to learn various forms and styles. Consult individual studios' schedules for available private-session and group-activity slots.

Though Fred Astaire Dance Studios sometimes offers discounts online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
