From the reviews
My daughter has been learning Ballet, Chinese Dance and Contemporary from Ms. Lena and Ms. Athena at Athena Dance Academy for 3 years. They are caring teachers and professional dancers.
My daughter has been learning dancing since she was five years old. She joined the mini dance team and participated in a number of competitions. She started to learn solo from this year. All the teachers here are nice and professional!
Love it! It is my daughter's 1st year being introduced to dance and Ms. Lena is amazing! Very kind and caring. Great atmosphere and flexible scheduling.
the teachers are so supportive, and they were very focused every single class i have been taking for 4 years at athena dance!❤️🩰
Adult ballet at Athena Dance Academy
Athena Dance Academy 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 Athena Dance Academy
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.
