Where Creativity and Passion Come to Life
Welcome to Inspire Dance Studio, where creativity and passion come to life through our diverse dance programs. We offer a wide range of classes for all ages and skill levels — including dance classes, recital classes and a competition team — so whether you are a beginner taking your first steps or an experienced dancer looking to refine your skills, there is something here for you. Our experienced instructors provide top-quality instruction, nurturing students’ technique, creativity and love for dance across styles including ballet, contemporary, tap and hip-hop. Classes are held at Apple Creek YMCA and Fox West YMCA.
Our Programs
Inspire Dance Studio offers two distinct program tracks — recital classes for dancers who want to experience the joy of performing, and a competition team for dancers ready to push their potential. Both programs are led by experienced instructors in a supportive, inspiring environment.
Recital Classes
Experience the magic of performance with our recital classes at Inspire Dance Studio. Starting in September and culminating with a breathtaking professional recital in April, these classes provide an immersive journey for dancers to showcase their skills and artistry on stage. Guided by our experienced instructors, dancers refine their technique, explore choreography and develop stage presence in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Competition Team
Our competition team is designed for dancers who demonstrate a high level of commitment and a passion for excellence. Classes are fast-paced and focused on maximizing potential — strong attendance is required, as consistent training is key to reaching new heights in dance. All competition team dancers are required to participate in ballet and additional technique classes over the summer in addition to the regular dance season. The competition season includes three regional competitions in the spring and the opportunity to compete on a national stage in June. Auditions for the competition team are held each May.

Whether you join recital classes or the competition team, the Inspire Dance year is structured to help every dancer grow and shine. Here is how the year unfolds.
