From the reviews
Dance FX is fantastic . I am in my 50s and danced when I was a child. After my own kids left for college I wanted to try a new activity and started taking Natalie’s beginner salsa class . I can’t even tell you how bad I was at first . It was embarrassing. I had never done partner dancing and had no rhythm.
The decision to join dancefx is one I have not regretted. The welcoming environment has given me so much the past seven years. As an adult it is hard to make friendships. With dancefx I not only learned how to dance but I found a community of friends.
Day 2 of dance for our 5 year old and it has been such an incredible experience for her!
Dancefx has given me the chance to express myself truly and completely while burning tons of calories at the same time! Dancefx has become a second family and a home for me! I look forward each week to coming and taking one of the many awesome classes there!
Adult ballet at Dancefx Athens
Dancefx Athens 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 Dancefx Athens
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.
