From the reviews
My daughter Ashleigh has grown up at Aspire over 9 years with the amazing owner and mentor Miss Mandy . It is her home, she has grown confidence and wonderful friendships. Miss Mandy, Mr. Chris have been such a positive influence and know each dancers strengths to make them the best dancer to their personal abilities.
We started at Aspire Dance in January, and it has been nothing short of amazing. Our 2-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son have both grown to truly love dance. The instructors have created such a positive and encouraging environment, and we’re incredibly grateful. Ms. Tanya has been so patient with our toddler.
My daughter started at Aspire Dance Center 4 years ago with just taking a ballet class. She was wanted to start dancing after she attended a class with one of her friends who had already danced at Aspire. Over the past 4 years my daughter has gained so much more than just learning how to dance.
We can't say enough good things about Aspire! The owners and staff are absolutely amazing!! They find new and exciting opportunities for dancers at all levels and are always so positive and supportive! Its so great to see our daughter's love of dance and abilities grow season after season.
Your first ballet class at Aspire Dance Center
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.
