Inspire Dance Centre is nothing short of excellence. The teachers here strive to present the best for every student, while also including a warm balance of strict technique and pure fun. Their love for dance and their students is remarkable... it's like nothing I've witnessed before in a teaching group, or a studio, or that matter.
I thought I'd like to share my personal story to show you how much this dance studio means to me. I started taking their teen hip-hop class in the year of 2018, and I was kindly welcomed and included. I loved my instructor and her teaching style, not to mention the outside-of-the-box combinations we learned. I returned this year to take the class again, and was not disappointed. Soon, I explored some of their classes, like Jazz and Musical Theatre, and LOVED them! At the same time, I ventured to try one of their stellar ballet classes. I had never done ballet before, other than primary ballet at a different company at a young age. At first, I was overwhelmed with it... not that the class was, but it was truly me. I felt that there was just so much I had to catch up on as a dancer, and I didn't feel that I was quite ready to do ballet. After hearing my plans to quit ballet so soon, the instructor genuinely convinced me otherwise. "Just give it one more shot," she asked. And so, I went back the next week, and she was right. My skills at ballet just progressed from there, and I am still catching up. But I'm enjoying my journey and I'm trying to celebrate where I'm at RIGHT NOW. Sure, I'm not perfect, and I make A LOT of mistakes in my process, but the teachers here are so forgiving and patient. Aside from all that, I know that, to this day, I probably would have given up on that tiny dream we as little girls harbor... of being up there dancing as ballerinas, if it wasn't for her. (Thank you, Ms. Clarissa!)
A friend of mine recently told me that dancing was like being in sync with the universe. Like dancing was the ability to move people and fully express yourself without care in the world. This studio fully harmonizes this concept to no end... they fully support dancers at EVERY level, with absolutely no hesitation. Every time I walk into the facility, I am greeted with smiles and kind-hearted people who tolerate ZERO DRAMA in our small family.
To the endlessly amazing staff and students who have made my experience at this facility such a wonderful one, thank you. For embracing me and accepting me, and for continuing to teach me and encourage me wherever I'm at, thank you. read more
