I have children in tumbling and dance for 1 year. I have been very pleased with the studio. The studio uses BAND app to communicate with parents. It is a great way to communicate. The studio is quick to respond to question. You can always call, but it is nice to have info right at your finger tips. You are only in the dance group you are registered for, and it is for parents only. Other dance parents also answer questions and explain things both via BAND app and on the website they have information like recital info, costume, hair, and makeup. I like that they make sure each small child has a parent present before exiting the studio.

They’ve always pushed my girls to become better. They’ve taught my girls value, commitment and dedication. They always show great sportsmanship and are supportive with every single one of their dancers.

My daughter just finished out the season with Inspire. If we werent moving out of state she would be staying with this studio. We loved all the teachers, managers and owners they were great. From day one the teachers, owners and office manager Becky made my daughter feel so comfortable and happy. We will miss the great people at Inspire Dance. If you are looking for a studio to have your kid dance this is the place for them.

We have been with Inspire for 3 years now and my daughter has improved beyond anything we thought possible. It is incredible to watch the transformation of dancers. My daughter walked in a beginner dancer and after one year, was competing at an advanced level. The staff is second to none. The teachers are fantastic! Not only do they push kids to be their best at the studio, but they go above and beyond to reach out to students outside of the studio. One of the things I love most, is that your dancer is not just a number. Looking at other studios of this caliber, it seems so many kids get lost in the shuffle. There are enough kids here to make fantastic teams, but not so many that you lose that family feel. You get to know teachers and other students on a much more personal level. Within minutes of walking into Inspire, both my daughter and I were part of this awesome dance family. I would 100% recommend Inspire, especially if you are looking for somewhere to really develop a serious dancer.

This studio is home❤ We love Inspire. I cannot say enough good things about this studio. My daughter has danced here since she was 5 and she has grown so much. The teachers and staff are amazing and the studios level of excellence is unparalleled. It truly feels like a family and I couldnt dream of going anywhere else.

Love this dance studio. My family has taken class from several studios over the years. This place is by far Second to none. The staff is well trained and experienced. The staff is extremely personable and treat everyone like family. My daughters abilities have far surpassed my expectations since she started attending this studio. I highly recommend this studio to anyone seaking the best for the Child.

Listen, Im no dance dad, and I rarely attend the comps.. but I can tell you, the improvement in attitude, social skills, and just general love for even going to dance is unfathomable.This will be my daughters 3rd year, and I wouldnt go anywhere else even if they paid me. Whitney, and staff, are not only extremely nice, but the care 110% about our daughters success....and the comps I actually do attend are very exciting. The other parents are so fun to be around! Just a great place all around.We love IDS!

WE LOVE INSPIRE ♡♡♡ Wonderful Owners & Teachers! My daughter Is starting her 7th season with Inspire and begs for more and more each year!!! Inspire teaches our kids proper technique and to love and have passion for what they do! I love that inspire does not let our dancers settle for mediocre....they push our dancers to their full potential. Inspire has helped my daughter gain self confidence that she has always struggled with. Thank you Inspire, keep doing the amazing job you always have!!!

My distaste for this studio has increased dramatically over the past year and we are leaving for another studio and feel it important to let other people know what really happens at Inspire so they dont make the same mistake we did. The owner Whitney is very rude, abusive, manipulative and will lie about anything to save face. She has her favorite dancers and moms and makes no effort to hide it. She stresses dancers out with screaming and yelling and will threaten dancers constantly. She pulled a young dancer (maybe4-5) from a recital performance because of a simple consume issue. There is no winning with her. The competitions days are long and stressful, the kids dont enjoy performing because of the stress and other parents behavior is appalling at times. Parents getting drunk at conventions and acting inappropriate, the language used and just the all around vibe is horrible. I have seen horrible pictures and videos on Snapchat of such behavior and I cant have my kids around it anymore. The other teachers are great but it seems hard for them being pulled in so many directions. The studio does have the potential to be great and have amazing dancers but the atmosphere and all the things that go on behind closed doors makes it so difficult to enjoy. Please do your research before signing up here and talk to other parents, it will save you a lot of heartache and money.

My daughters have been at Inspire now for 2 years going into their 3rd, and my son is now starting his 2nd year. I cannot say enough about how amazing our experience has been. My kids have improved drastically, found a new passion for dance, and have developed amazing friendships along the way. Both my kids and I adore the staff and they have been nothing but fantastic to work with. We are so happy to be part of this dance family!!!

Inspire dance studio has been everything I could have wanted for my daughters in a dance studio. They have grown tremendously not only as dancers, but as young women as well. The staff is second to none. I would absolutely recommend it to other parents looking for dance opportunities for their children.

My daughters have been in dance since they were two years old. This studio has been the absolute worst dance company we have ever worked with. My daughter would come home with bruises after her practices from the teachers pushing her to the floor to practice splits. One of the teachers my daughter worked with would regularly not show up for classes then demanded extra practices to prepare for recitals. The staff is unfriendly and insensitive to work with. Would not recommend.

I was with Inspire 5 years. If you’re considering this studio read this. #1 you will learn to love dance… hours & hours of dance… a mom commented that her kid didn’t dance til 8:30 pm she was there at 7 am. You are not allowed to leave with your child all day. To me this is a misery loves company since she has to be there, plus it takes too much effort to let people come an hour before they dance it’s much easier to sit by the pool & make people come to you… Brings me to #2 travel… this last year it was 3 times, you will pay for teacher travel. Nationals travel is mandatory the price increased but for some reason they saved us money so they had no teachers avail to help with solos, also if you didn’t pay Nationals fees you could not dance in the recital… the threats are constant “your child will be spaced out”. If your child wants to try out for additional routines, you were required to pay for 4 hour of classes. 8 hours total per week. My child’s team only had 1 routine. I was hesitant to pay the additional fee, 8 hrs is a lot of dance for 1 routine, extra routines would mean more hours. Reluctantly I signed the contract like Ariel in little mermaid when she loses her voice to Ursula. Sept comes around, tryouts. My child only makes Production like every other kid in the studio, a Friday night practice, I decline the routine. I was told my child is not ready for a small group… interesting cuz the team my child is on is a team of 6 the team they didn’t make had 8… all good apparently the extra classes are not helping. I ask if my child can drop the extra classes. At first Whitney says yes. Then she speaks to the other owner Heather & I am told I signed a contract… So I inform them that this will be my last season. Later in the season I find out that 2 of the studio stars are thousands of dollars THOUSANDS behind in fees. The contract says you will not be allowed to dance if you are behind… funny thing is why would they talk about this? Apparently they “need” certain kids. After my child didn’t try out for the new season I was told I had to pay a registration fee & 2 more months of class in order to go to nationals (somebody has to help pay for the kids that are not paying). In May they cancelled several classes to “rest” & didn’t reschedule. They had the money so why not – even though the guidelines say if they cancel they will reschedule! My child’s “costume” (sweats) was half of what they charged if I were to buy it at the store. This studio is clicky & has favorites, they win everything the other routines are just filler. They do absolutely nothing about kids that are out of control bully brats! I was informed that my child had been treated very poorly by another kid on the team, made fun of in class & that the studio was aware but nothing was ever said to me. I asked my child & they said that is just how this kid is… what BS! Your kid can work hard & love dance meanwhile other kids throw fits, walk out of classes & are in 6-8 routines… Inspire has about 15 kids they make stars the rest are just a paycheck. I have talked with several other studios. Inspire has a rep of not building new talent & only caring about money. At the meeting to announce a teacher leaving Whitney said “I don’t even know some of you” these are COMP parents! There was zero team or studio activities this past year. This studio is all about MONEY. The teaching staff is pretty much new & they lost 2 of the best comp teachers this last season. The only time Whitney is decent is right before auditions & it gets progressively worse as the year goes on. She will post rants & threats on the FB page & then delete them but deleting them doesn’t make people forget. Go back & read the top #1 should be enough for you to research & find another studio but if that doesn’t get you your wallet should. Plus above all how your child will be treated should be your top priority.
