Mastering Precision and Control in Every Step
Our Junior Ballet class introduces dancers ages 9–12 to classical ballet in a way that builds strength, body awareness, and confidence. At Inspire Dance Company, we focus on alignment, coordination, and purposeful movement—helping students understand not just how to move, but why. Through engaging exercises and structured routines, dancers build flexibility, refine posture, and begin to recognize the importance of consistency in training. Each class also emphasizes ballet terminology and musical awareness, laying the groundwork for more advanced instruction in later years. These lessons in precision and discipline often translate into improved focus and self-regulation both inside and outside the studio.
Express Yourself Through Movement
Junior Jazz offers an energetic space for dancers to explore style, musicality, and performance technique. Students learn foundational jazz steps and terminology while gaining flexibility, control, and rhythm. More than just a dance class, this environment invites creativity and encourages dancers to bring their personality into the movement—building both confidence and focus along the way.
Building Strength and Flexibility
Acro at Inspire Dance Company blends dance artistry with athletic movement. Using the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, our Acro I & II classes guide dancers through skills like handstands, bridges, and cartwheels—all within a safe, level-based structure. Each class is designed to promote body control, spatial awareness, and confidence while working toward increasingly challenging skills. Enrollment in Acro Conditioning is required, providing dancers with the foundational strength needed to support safe and effective progress. This class nurtures resilience by encouraging students to set small goals, celebrate breakthroughs, and embrace the process of steady improvement.
Fostering Teamwork and Confidence
Whether learning choreography or preparing for performances, our Junior dancers are immersed in a community that values encouragement and collaboration. Through shared learning experiences, students build friendships, support one another, and develop a deeper sense of responsibility. The group setting offers opportunities for dancers to practice leadership, give and receive feedback, and contribute to a team’s shared success. These interpersonal skills are cultivated naturally in class and during performances, helping dancers build lasting confidence. With every class, they are reminded that progress is not only personal—it’s also something you experience together.
What Our Dance Community is Saying
See how Inspire Dance Company is making a difference in the lives of families across Marshfield and surrounding communities. These real stories from our dance families highlight the growth, joy, and transformation that happens when students find a place where they belong.
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!!
