FRED ASTAIRE DANCE STUDIO TO HOLD GRAND OPENING
IN NORTHWEST PORTLAND ON MAY 20
Portland, Ore. — A Portland franchise of the popular, nationally known Fred Astaire Dance Studios will celebrate its grand opening on Thursday, May 20.
The new 3,500 square-foot studio, located at 305 N.W. 21st Ave., above Cha! Taqueria, is owned by Alex Aillon and Jan Lampe and features two elegant ballrooms with hickory dance floors, high-tech lighting and audio systems.
“Dancing with the Stars has fueled a phenomenal rise in the popularity of ballroom dancing,” Lampe said. “And the response of the Portland community has been immediate and remarkable.”
Aillon, a veteran of national ballroom dancing competitions and the Fred Astaire organization, will be joined by five additional dance instructors offering lessons in waltz, tango, cha-cha, swing, rumba and foxtrot, as well as styles revived by Dancing with the Stars, including salsa, West Coast swing, samba, merengue, pasa doble and bolero.
Lampe said the studio will offer a grand opening special of two private lessons, two group lessons and party — a $250 value — for $25.
With the opening of the first studio on Park Avenue in New York City, Fred Astaire brought his immense talent out of glamorous Hollywood and onto the dance floors of America and the world. Today there are 140 Fred Astaire Dance Studios throughout North America. Fred Astaire Dance Studios/Portland can be reached at (971) 255-1918.
