This is my daughter's 4th year at Inspire and we could not be happier. We've been to other studios…read moreand she has grown leaps & bounds here. My daughter loves dancing here & loves all the students & staff here. Everyone is so supportive of each other. It's very family friendly. All costumes & music are age appropriate (no mid-drifts). At the recital all students get a T-shirt and an award based on the number of years they've danced. But they also give awards to competitive & recital students who have shown hard work & positive attitude, etc and they earn a discount on classes for the next year. Most studios IF they offer this only offer it to competitive program. I danced as a kid & my daughter has been to another studio as well. Every studio we've been to you pay the same monthly price from August through the end of the school year. The months that there are breaks offset the months there are 5 weeks in a month. However, At Inspire we don't pay in June and you still have rehearsals for 2 weeks in June. They also offer fundraisers throughout the year for students to go toward recital fees, costumes, etc. One thing that I would like to add is how a studio responds in times of uncertainty. They've always offered that if you need to miss a class you can take a makeup class in another class. Whenever the studio closes for weather etc, they always offer makeups. But how they responded during COVID-19 was exceptional! They offered new google classes each week for the kids to continue to learn & then also offered an extra zoom class essentially for free to get some interaction with other students and a teacher. I have friends whose dances studios cancelled their recital classes and their recital, leaving parents with a costume they paid for and never getting to wear. While at the time of this post, Inspire is still trying to work the recital out as restrictions have not been lifted. Trista has let parents know that she will still try to have some kind of recital program for the kids within state guidelines. She sent out surveys to parents and is taking their suggestions and concerns into account to try to make plans what is best for everyone. I'm so thankful for the extra work Trista is putting in & the compassion & dedication that she always shows. We are so happy we came to Inspire, so much so, that we've had several family members that have now followed us to Inspire. They are even driving past other studios & driving 30 minutes just to dance here with us!

My daughter is entering her 3rd year of dance here, and we couldn't be more pleased with the studio…read moreor its instructors. The studio is not-for-profit, so they keep class prices low (a 45-minute class is $44/month, and there are discounts when you add classes). The instructors are excellent in technique and teaching, and they also have a real heart for their students. Dance numbers are age appropriate, and costumes are all stylish yet modest (no exposed midriffs or anything too sexy for the littles). I appreciate that they consider that and want our children to enjoy dance without forcing them to grow up too quickly. They also encourage leadership skills among the older dancers, so some of them volunteer to help teach in the younger classes. I also love the time that's taken to work with the students. My daughter is in one of the youngest dance classes, and her instructor, Miss Trista, had to miss class the week before recital, so we had a sub. Trista wanted to make sure the girls got a full rehearsal before recital, so she scheduled another day for our class to come in and practice with her. I mean, they're the littles who honestly end up getting on stage and are so dazzled by the crowd that they may or may not remember a single step, but Trista took the extra time to give the girls a chance to really shine, and that spoke volumes about her love for her students. After the recital, every kid got an award based on how long they'd been dancing with the studio (even the first-years), and awards were given out for Most Improved Technique, Best Attitude, and the 110% Award (for a student having a great class even when he/she was having a bad day). Again, this studio encourages great attitudes and a great heart in addition to great dancing, and I adore that. A previous review mentioned that you still pay the full price for months with spring/fall breaks when the studio closes, but over the course of a school year, it averages out with the 5-week months that you end up with an extra week of classes. We also don't pay for June at all, which is recital month. If you miss a class, you are always welcome to attend another for a make-up (and there are plenty to choose from). I can't say enough good things about this studio, and I love to see how much they've grown since we started two years ago!

I recently enrolled my granddaughter in a tumbling class here. I am new to the area so wasn't…read morequite sure what to expect. The first thing that sold me on this place was the price ($10 for a 45 min class plus a one time fee of only $10 to sign up). The cost is low enough that most families can afford to send their kids and I liked that. When we went inside the place, it was like entering back stage at a concert, people everywhere, kids in all kinds of outfits, controlled chaos. The building is huge. Lots of large and small rooms. Piano lessons in one room, ballet in another, tumbling in another. Don't be put off by the small waiting area in the front. There are other multiple waiting areas in various locations throughout the two floor building. It is a really cool place. The room where my granddaughter was learning tumbling was a large room. The floor was padded, the instructor and her helper welcomed her into the class. She was enthusiastic and seemed genuinely interested in making all of the kids feel comfortable and proud of what they are learning. I have noticed my granddaughter becoming more confident with each class. The teacher recently moved her to a higher level class. After the first class in the new group, my granddaughter said, "you have to be really good to be in this class." She was very proud. If you are looking for a place to send your child for some type of music, dance or tumbling classes, I would highly recommend The Mooresville Arts Partnership.

What a great way for a community to give their children the gift of the Arts. We're involved in…read morethe Musical Theatre, and my granddaughter loves to attend classes on Wednesdays where she can be herself and learn as she goes. She is excited about the summer camp coming up soon, and enjoys being with other kids who are interested in the Arts. You go, MAP
