Great teachers and class offerings! Bright and shiny new studio focused on safety of all dancers and having fun!
Lauren has supported and helped me tremendously as a dancer. She puts her time and effort to help her dancers feel strong, confident, and improve on their skills. She is very knowledgeable in both technique and choreography. She understands how a dancer’s mind works and helps you work through challenges with patience and positivity. We are forever grateful for her and her passion to help us dancers.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
