🎩♠️ Some people practice magic tricks. Eduard Apolonov makes ballroom dancers disappear… from first place. 😏

Please join us in celebrating one of our incredible Featured Judges, Eduard Apolonov!

Known for his expertise, professionalism, and keen eye for excellence, Eduard has spent years helping dancers elevate their craft. But judging by this poster, we’re beginning to suspect he may have a few Vegas tricks up his sleeve as well. 🃏✨

✨🃏 If anyone can spot a perfect heel turn, a missed lead, and a questionable costume choice from across the ballroom… it’s Nadia Goulina. 👀✨

Known for her expertise, elegance, and sharp eye for detail, Nadia has spent years helping elevate dancers to their very best. And let’s be honest…

🧙‍♂️✨ Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain… unless he’s one of our Featured Judges. ✨🧙‍♂️

This year’s FAWC lineup is looking a little more magical than usual… 💚

Please join us in celebrating Featured Judge Hayk Arshakian, who apparently took a wrong turn at the Bellagio and ended up somewhere over the rainbow. 🌈😂

While you’re in Las Vegas for FAWC, why not add a little extra magic to your trip and check out The Wizard of Oz at Sphere? 🎭✨

Because let’s be honest…

🎲 Vegas isn’t just about dancing.
🎰 It’s about experiences.
🎭 It’s about memories.
🏆 And it’s about finding out whether the Emerald City has better choreography than your Showcase routine.

🇺🇸 Don’t forget…

We’re celebrating 250 years of America by giving away $250 every hour during FAWC!

That’s a whole lot of chances to leave Vegas with more than just rhinestones and sore feet. 😎

🇺🇦➡️🇺🇸 They came to America with a dream… and built a life through dance. ✨

For Mykyta & Tetyana, Fred Astaire Dance Studios became more than a job.

It became a career.
A community.
A purpose.
A place to change lives through dance.

What do they love most?

Watching students transform in every direction:

✅ Physical — more energy, movement, and wellness
✅ Mental — greater focus, confidence, and growth
✅ Social — friendships, connection, and belonging
✅ Emotional — joy, purpose, and self-discovery

And if you’re thinking:

“I’m not ready…”

Their advice is simple:

Start anyway.

Because every great dancer, instructor, competitor, and studio owner started with a single step.

🎬 That’s one of the reasons we’re so excited for The Next Pro, premiering July 13. The series follows talented dancers chasing their dreams, and we’re especially proud to cheer on one of our own — Fred Astaire Dance Studios Professional Allan Genkin — as he competes on the national stage.

👏 Join us this season and help support Allan as he represents our Fred Astaire family!

Whether you’re inspired to dance, teach, compete, or one day own a studio, remember:

✨ Every professional started as a beginner.
✨ Every journey starts with a single step.

🎯 Want to dance?
🎯 Want to teach?
🎯 Want to own?

❤️ Drop a comment below and help us wish Allan good luck on The Next Pro!

🇺🇸 FAWC 2026: Meet The Crew pt 4 🇺🇸🎬

What happens when an elite crew of Vegas legends tries to pull off one last job… and suddenly gets replaced by our stockholders? 😎

Let’s just say things got a little… AI-ronic.

💥 No actors were harmed in the making of this video.
💥 No stockholders were buried under falling walls.
💥 No Ocean’s 11 cast members were permanently transformed into Pahjmon, Rae, Tad, Elizabeth, or Luann.

🎥 Some people will say the morphing faces are AI mistakes…

We prefer to think of them as:
✨ Advanced witness protection.
✨ Vegas magic.
✨ Or George Clooney slowly becoming a ballroom dancer.

🇺🇸 Don’t forget:

🔴 Early Bird Deadline: June 17
⚫ Final Deadline: July 1

And while you’re securing your entries…

💰 $250 FOR 250
World Cup Series will be Celebrating 250 Years of America with $25,000 in giveaways, surprises, and plenty of reasons to be in Las Vegas this July.
