From the reviews
Julie is one of the best dance teachers that I've ever had. She is incredibly patient, energetic, passionate, creative, and loving with her craft as well as her students. She always pushes her dancers in a positive way and nourishes a safe, healthy, collaborative environment for her students to grow in.
We are a local family and we have tried two other dance studios. This one is our favourite. What I've learned as a mom of young girls is that the owner of the studio sets the tone for EVERYTHING. The culture, how girls are treated, if they are nurtured in a positive environment. Every studio has a vibe...
My daughter (now 5 years old) has been taking classes at Inspire since she was 2 years old, and she absolutely LOVES it! In particular, her current teacher - Mr. Robert - is the BEST. As a biracial child, having a Black male teacher has meant the world to us. Mr. Robert connects so well with the children.
My name is Rosal Ortega and I teach Adult Beginner Flamenco in Santa Barbara, CA. I accidentally sent Inspire Dance via Venmo $525.00. It was suppose to go to the studio I rent from in Santa Barbara for the month of Oct. I was panicked. I started following the Venmo instructions to have the funds returned.
Your first ballet class at Inspire Dance Studio
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.
