From the reviews
Our daughter just finished her first year at IPAC, and we couldn’t have been more impressed with our experience. Last weekend was the end of the year recital, and the love and support the students and faculty have for each other was very evident.
Love this place. We take voice Lessons and have been for a few Years now. Miss Samantha is great. All the staff is amazing. They really care about the kids and want to see them succeed. The staff has even attended plays and other events my daughter has been involved in. Couldn't be happier.
Mrs. Samantha is the most versatile teacher, show choir combines it all - music, dancing and singing. She is creative, fun and caring. I love that she is my teacher. Thank you, you are the best! Juliette K.
My girls have been at IPAC for nearly seven years now, and thus have had the joy of knowing almost all of the teachers and staff. Not only do they love each of their teachers, but as a mom I could not imagine a better support system for me to reinforce the morals, values, work ethic, and positivity we teach at home.
Your first ballet class at Inspiration Performing Arts 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.
