Fred's Kick-off to New Ownership - Grand Opening in Ridgefield

New Ownership has shaken up Fred Astaire Dance Studio on route 7 and their talented and accomplished dance instructors want to show you how Ridgefield dances.



 A grand opening

celebration will take place on Friday, November 8th from


6:00-10:30pm. Ridgefield’s own, first selectman, Rudy Marconi and the chamber

of commerce will start the night with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Sarah of Bernard’s Restaurant is a committed and

elegant dancer at the studio and will be providing hors’d'oeuvres for the

evening.  Guests will have a live ‘dancing

with the stars’ experience as they are entertained by the studios stunning

professional dance couples. Students of all ages will also be performing to

show how Ridgefield dances. The most popular form of instruction at the studio

is teaching individuals and couples to social dance. Guests can see how fun and

easy social dancing really is by partaking in the optional group lesson to show

some basic steps for a couple of the most popular dances. Once a month the

studio hosts a three hour dance party that is open to the public; this will be

the finale of the evening, as everyone dances the night away.

Taking over ownership this September, Morten and Mira are a

European couple who have come together to share their love of dance. Morten

holds a world title for his dancing and Mira many regional and national titles

of her own.  Although the competitive

dance world is a passion for them with high levels of experience and expertise

in the dance industry, these two simply want to share the gift of dancing no

matter if it is socially or competitively. Morten says, "Dancing is a joy, it is life affirming, and it is one of the

healthiest and best ways to exercise. All I could ever ask for is to get to

share that with as many people as possible.” Come alone, invite friends or make

it a couple’s night out, either way be sure you don’t miss it! Fred kicks off

new ownership on Friday, November, 8th  from 6:00-10:30pm at Fred Astaire Dance

Studio, 15 Ethan Allen Highway (route 7) Ridgefield, CT. Please call the studio
