Fred Astaire Connecticut

Some awards make history... and this one just did! 🌟

Last week at the biggest Inter-Regional event of the year, one incredible instructor drove away with more than just applause 👏

Please join us in a HUGE congratulations to Denys Fesenko from Fred Astaire Madison Connecticut!

For his outstanding performance, dedication, and results, Denys was awarded a 3-YEAR PAID LEASE on a brand new electric Toyota! 🚗⚡

Denys, your passion, professionalism, and commitment to your students and our Fred Astaire family inspire us all. This is what excellence looks like.

Thank you for raising the bar and showing what’s possible when talent meets heart.

Enjoy the ride, Denys — you’ve earned every mile! 💙

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there 🌸

Thank you for the early mornings, the late-night pep talks, the packed snacks, and for showing up to every single recital and dance event — front row, hairspray in hand, cheering the loudest.

You’re the reason the magic happens on and off the floor. We see you, we love you, and we celebrate you today ❤️

We are HAVING SO MUCH FUN at the New England Inter-Regional! 🎉

Thank you to every student, parent, teacher, and friend who showed up and brought the energy. The cheering, the hugs, the floor-side support — you feel it the second you walk in. This is what dance family looks like ❤️

The dancing has been unreal. From the first bow in International Ballroom to the last fire-filled AmericanRhythm round, our couples left their hearts on the floor. The sportsmanship between regions, the quick changes, the backstage laughs... these are the moments we live for.

📸 Photos + videos coming soon!
🎥 Especially all Pro divisions — we recorded everything and they’ll be posted here and on our official YouTube channel. Tag us when you share!

To our team: Thank you for hard work this whole weekend. You know who you are!

New England, know how to throw a comp. Let’s keep this vibe going!

Who else is running on adrenaline + hairspray? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

WHAT A WEDNESDAY! ✨

From sunrise travel bags to late-night dance shoes... today had it ALL.

🚗 The road trip buzz to the event
💄 Makeup palettes + hairspray clouds
👗 Zipping into those stunning gowns
🎶 First steps of International Standard
🔥 Switching gears into fiery Latin

Standard elegance. Latin passion. One incredible day to kick off our dancing weekend.

To every dancer who juggled nerves, hairpins, quick changes, and still lit up the floor — you are amazing. This is why we do it: the prep, the glitter, the music, the moment it all comes together.

Here’s to a weekend full of dance, memories, and maybe a little more hairspray 💃🕺

What was YOUR favorite moment from Wednesday? 👇

Please join us in wishing the HAPPIEST of birthdays to our one and only Regional Dance Director, Anastasia Abrashin! 🥳✨

Anastasia, your passion, leadership, and artistry inspire our entire Fred Astaire Connecticut & Massachusetts family every single day. Thank you for the dedication you pour into every student, every teacher, and every event. Your vision elevates all of us.

We hope your birthday is filled with as much joy, laughter, and beautiful music as you bring to our studios. Here’s to another year of incredible dancing and unforgettable moments!

We love you! 💃🕺
