Felix Funk was first spotted on Platform 1 at Flinders Street Station with nothing but a dream and a dance bag. Despite the crisp Melbourne winter, he wore no pants (#iconic).

Raised by possums in a Thornbury share house, he trekked the Mernda line in search of salvation. The MSF family found him asleep on the doormat at the studio’s back door. He now calls Main St Funk home, where he’s become a Petite class legend.

Rumour has it he spent his formative years training with the Russian Ballet and was a backup dancer in Beyoncé’s Single Ladies.

Now known for his enthusiastic twirling, expert scarf dancing, and comforting cuddles, Felix helps our tiniest dancers feel safe, seen, and sparkly. As Head of HR, he oversees hugs, morale, and gently encourages Chloe to stop for a drive-thru coffee and “a little treat” on the way to the studio.

You’ll often find Felix napping in the costume cupboard, raiding the sticker drawer, cheering on our dancers from the wings, and sneaking into the fridge after hours in search of birthday cake. He also proudly hosts MSF’s annual Teddy Bear Picnic—a highlight of the studio social calendar.
