Dancing Queen

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.

The owner of Inspire is a bully and her methods of teaching are awful. She will yell, swear, talk about dancers behind their backs and most dancers are afraid to upset her. If anyone leaves her studio, she spreads horrible lies about them and their families. I had two daughters dancing there and she destroyed their self confidence and dance became something they dreaded. Her rules are too rigid but she makes exceptions for her favorites which there are many of. She treats her staff poorly and many are leaving because of her behavior. She is only in this to make money and in the meantime is ruining dancers self esteem. She will tell dancers after performing that they sucked, messed up etc and if there are costume/headpiece issues and girls go to her for help, she ignores them and leaves them stressed and without any guidance. My girls loved her other teachers but the constant belittling and drama was too much for us. We have been gone three years now and are at a new studio where we have had no problems.

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.

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 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.

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.

I have been here for almost two years and can honestly say that it is the best place to learn and grow as a dancer and person. The staff are knowledgeable and super inspiring!! They help each student and push them to incredible lengths!
