RequirementsSuccessful Dance Instructors:
Are self-motivated, enthusiastic and 100% passionate about dance.
FIRST STUDIO: The very first Fred Astaire Dance Studios® location was on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan, NYC – and Fred Astaire himself was an occasional dance instructor! NETWORK SIZE: Today, our franchise network includes over 180 dance studio locations across the United States and around the world.
Many still remember the excitement surrounding the opening of the first studio on Park Avenue in New York City in March, 1947. Presumably in early retirement from his film career, here was the famous Fred Astaire actually opening the first of a national chain of ballroom dance schools.
He was typically paired up with Ginger. Rogers, but, when he was asked about it, he secretly. confessed that his favorite dance partner just. happened to be Rita Hayworth.
Johanna planned a brother-and-sister act, common in vaudeville at the time, for her two children. Although Fred refused dance lessons at first, he easily mimicked his older sister's steps and learned piano, accordion and clarinet.
Fred stopped dancing in nineteen seventy. He was more than seventy years old at the time. He said a dancer could not continue dancing forever. He said he did not want to disappoint anyone, even himself.
Astaire and his first wife, socialite Phyllis Baker Potter, married in 1933 and had two children together, Fred Jr. and Ava. He also helped raise her son from an earlier union. Fred and Phyllis remained a couple until her death in 1954.
She danced with Fred Astaire in Three Little Words (1950) and with Gene Kelly in On the Town (1949). Blonde, slim of build, and a dancing sensation, she appeared in a string of light-hearted but successful films.
Astaire divested his interest in the chain in 1966, while agreeing the continued use of his name by the franchise. The studios became franchised in 1950; currently there are no corporate owned studios. Each franchise is individually owned & operated.
Astaire was also an excellent actor, and a successful, though personally modest, singer. He introduced some of the most celebrated songs from the Great American Songbook. He married Phyllis Potter in 1933; they had two children. After her death, he remarried in 1980 to Robyn Smith, a female jockey 45 years his junior.
Fred Astaire had passed on a chunk to his two children because he wasn't expecting to marry again so long after the death of his first wife, Phyllis, in 1954. So Fred left Robyn the jewel of his estate - the right to manage his intellectual property and buff the sheen on his legacy.
Fred Astaire, despite his popularity and incredible skill, had a net worth of $10million at the time of his death in the 80s. We're talking about a guy who's considered one of the greatest dancers of his century.
