Take a closer look at what makes our program unique—built on safe training practices, age-appropriate progression, and a commitment to supporting each dancer’s physical and emotional development.
Many studios rely on one-size-fits-all instruction without adapting for individual needs, which can lead to frustration or injury—especially in styles that require technical progression like Ballet or Acro.
Classes may repeat the same material or choreography, leading to disinterest or slow progress.
Without a connected dance culture, teens may feel isolated or unsupported during their training.
Technique is essential, but without attention to safety and strength, dancers may face burnout or injury.
Our instructors provide style-specific feedback and progression-based instruction in Ballet, Pointe (by invitation), Acro, and more. We use the Acrobatic Arts syllabus and emphasize proper technique to support each dancer’s growth at their level.
From Contemporary to Hip Hop, and Jazz to Conditioning, each class introduces new material and challenges, keeping dancers motivated while expanding their movement vocabulary.
We emphasize camaraderie in class, cross-style learning, and shared performance goals—creating lasting friendships and a culture of encouragement.

Great teachers and class offerings! Bright and shiny new studio focused on safety of all dancers and having fun!
My daughter love, love, loves it here! She's so excited for dance each week. She started with Jazz and begged me to add a second class, so she's doing Acro as well. I love that the Acro class has an added half hour on it to work on their strength. It's a great benefit, not just for dance but for all her activities. Lauren is really great with the kids and the new studio is so pretty inside. So happy to have an awesome dance studio in Marshfield!
I began learning from Lauren in elementary school and now, almost 10 years later, her teachings continue to impact me everyday. Lauren not only allowed me to flourish as a technical dancer, but she taught me about passion, perseverance, and confidence as well. Lauren fills a studio with joy and compassion, making every student feel valued and capable. I left each lesson with a much greater knowledge of the origin of many technical skills and how to execute them, but most importantly I left knowing much more about myself and my unique style as a dancer. Lauren encourages every diverse performer and creates such a welcoming space for countless new skills to be achieved and breakthroughs to be made. I have Lauren to thank for my growth as not only a dancer, but a person as well. She is an incredible mentor and the most inspiring instructor there is.
Amazing studio and teachers! Highly recommend. My daughter looks forward to her class all week and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll her at Inspire.
My daughter, Ella, trained under Lauren throughout middle school and high school. Once Ella started working with Lauren her technique improved exponentially. Lauren creates a supportive learning environment that fosters both discipline and growth. Her instruction effectively balances high expectations in a welcoming and nurturing safe space. Ella currently lives in LA and just graduated college with a BFA in commercial dance. She was also [and was] recently signed with one of LA’s top dance agencies. Lauren’s guidance undoubtedly played a HUGE role in all of Ella’s success! We are so grateful for the continued mentorship Lauren provides her.
We love Inspire Dance School! The staff is so amazing with the kids. My kids have thrived with the dancing skills they have learned so far. Love being part of Inspire!!
I highly recommend Miss Lauren as a ballet and dance teacher. She was an exceptional teacher/mentor for my daughter over the years, instilling discipline, poise, technique, and confidence in her dance and everyday life. Miss Lauren's dedication and passion for dance are evident in her teaching style. She has a unique ability to connect with her students, making each class enjoyable and productive. Her expertise and commitment have significantly contributed to my daughter's growth as a dancer and as an individual.
We feel so grateful that our child has the opportunity to experience Miss Lauren’s unique impact as a dance teacher : strong skills and technique development, an ability to inspire joy and build confidence, and a focus on strength, conditioning, and safety that develops lifelong fitness. With Miss Lauren you absolutely get all three and then some.
My daughter recently started taking acro at Inspire and has been absolutely loving it. She says it’s fun, she feels like she is learning a lot, and getting lots of individual attention and feedback. We are so excited to join this studio.
