From the reviews
After moving from AZ, I was afraid we would have problems finding a dance studio we loved as much as the one we came from. However, we totally found it at Inspire! The ballet training is excellent, and good ballet leads to better dance styles overall.
Being a student at Inspire has pushed me to be a better dancer and work my hardest at everything! The teachers are well trained and really care about our journey in our dance career.
THE REAL DEAL! Over the last several years our dancers have developed to unexpected levels of facility under the focused coaching from the team at INSPIRE. This studio continues to grow in both size & accolades because those dancers who are serious and committed find a deep resource of experience in the instructors.
My daughter has been going to Inspire now going on three years! She is going to be 5 soon and will be in this years nutcracker production for the first time! So glad this school is giving her an opportunity to spread her wings and do what she enjoys!! Ballet and hip hop!!
Your first ballet class at Inspire Dance Centre
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.
