Classes for All Ages & Stages

All classes are kept small (maximum 12 students) to ensure individual attention.

Classical Ballet

Graceful, disciplined, and foundational — our ballet program follows the Vaganova Method, building strength, flexibility, and artistry from beginner to pre-professional levels. Ideal for dancers of all ages who want to master technique with elegance.

Modern Dance

Modern dance emphasizes freedom, emotion, and individuality, freeing dancers from classical ballet’s strict techniques. This allows for natural, authentic movement and encourages exploration of personal expression, giving the style its unique, refreshing quality.

Tap Dance

Tap into rhythm! AIDT Tap classes are energetic and musical, teaching students how to turn their feet into instruments. With a focus on syncopation, style, and upper-body expression, tap offers a joyful and dynamic dance experience.

What our Students say...

Our students love working with us, just read what they have to say!

Coming to Danspirations was the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’ll cherish the memories I’ve made in the studio. You taught me that resilience is more rewarding than perfection would ever be. Danspirations has been the experience of a lifetime.

Lauren Johnston

alumni student

I cannot express how incredible it has been to experience a support system like Danspirations while growing up. I have made friendships here that have continued to grow outside of the studio, and that last a lifetime. You have created a true sisterhood, and inspired pure love and encouragement between us.”
