From the reviews

We love Inspire and all their wonderful, caring teachers! My kids (2 boys and 1 girl, ages 9-12) have danced with Inspire for 5 years and it has been such a wonderful experience for them! They have learned so much and felt so loved and supported by the teachers.

★★★★★ — Deanna, Jul 2022

We love Inspire Ballet! At the age of 5 my daughter was embarrassed by other ballet dancers at a previous dance school. Once this happened she shut down and didn’t want to dance. Once the season ended she didn’t want to dance anymore. Months after she would dance at home and talk about how much she loved ballet.

Your first ballet class at Inspire Ballet and Fine Arts

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.
