★★★★★ — Mareike, Apr 2024

My husband and I (now empty nesters) were looking for a way to add something new to our lives. Ballroom dancing was the answer. Sasha is a fantastic, patient, knowledgeable instructor. She allows us to ask many questions.

★★★★★ — Robin, Feb 2025

Tanya and Winston are not only the best dance instructors in the Atlanta area...but they make learning to dance so much fun...for everyone...even us that have two left feet. My husband and I starting dancing so we would not make fools of ourselves at our daughter's wedding. We had no intention of making this our hobby.

★★★★★ — Karen, Apr 2024

We love the Latin dance class! We’ve learned so much and had a great time doing it. We went from knowing a few steps of bachata to dancing to a whole song of bachata and salsa. Sasha is a great instructor as well.

Adult ballet at Art Is Motion Buford

Art Is Motion Buford runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.

Your first ballet class at Art Is Motion Buford

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
