Discover the Inspire Dance Company Difference
Compare dance classes at Inspire Dance Company with traditional sports to see how our approach can offer a more balanced and enriching experience for your child's growth and development.
Traditional sports often emphasize physical skills and competition, sometimes overlooking important aspects of emotional growth, creativity, and personal character development.
Team sports can sometimes create an environment where less skilled players feel excluded or discouraged due to competitive pressures and selective play.
The emphasis on winning in traditional sports can detract from the enjoyment of the activity and the development of important values like teamwork and fair play.
In team sports, the focus is often spread across many players, which can limit individual attention and personalized coaching.
Our dance classes encourage both physical fitness and emotional development, helping children build strength, flexibility, and resilience in a fun, supportive environment.
At Inspire Dance Company, every child is given the opportunity to shine. As they learn new dance skills and routines, their self-confidence grows, promoting a sense of belonging and achievement.
Our dance classes prioritize personal growth, discipline, and the joy of learning. Dancers learn to appreciate the process of improvement and collaboration, which are valuable life skills.
Our dance programs ensure each child receives personalized guidance, fostering respect, listening skills, and strong interpersonal connections, all of which contribute to a positive learning experience.

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.
Awesome dance study that's perfect for beginner's as Ms. Lauren and Ms. Regina really helped make my child feel comfortable as she's learning jazz, tap and ballet. They even colored a picture as well! Highly recommend! Dance studio is committed to the love of dance and watching your child grow! Added bonus is the costume fees are built into the monthly tuition.
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.
Great teachers and class offerings! Bright and shiny new studio focused on safety of all dancers and having fun!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
