🌱 welcoming to beginners 4 mentions

“Coming into the dance lessons I had pretty much no experience with dancing, and was a little nervous about dancing at the wedding.”

From the reviews

Dani was absolutely amazing, and I’m so glad we booked two dance lessons with her before our wedding in October! Neither my husband nor I had much dance experience, and I was initially nervous about performing in front of everyone. But from the very first lesson, Dani made us feel completely at ease.

★★★★★ — Elisabeth, Mar 2025

Dani at First Dance Lexington was amazing to work with! We did two sessions with her for our first dance, and one session with her for the father / daughter dance. She made us feel comfortable given our limited dance experience and customized the lessons to what we wanted.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Jan 2024

Dani is so wonderful! She really made us feel so comfortable with getting ready for our wedding and first dance. She helped us pick out our song and plan out all the details we needed to make us really feel put together. We can’t wait to go back after our wedding for more classes for date night!

★★★★★ — Kaylee, Sep 2024

We worked with Dani for our first dance at our wedding and my father-daughter dance. She made us all feel so comfortable and made it such a fun experience!! I can’t say enough amazing things about her and her company.

Your first ballet class at First Dance Lexington

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.
