About us
Inspire launched in 2010 with the goal of
creating memorable moments
for performers
Teaching a student dance is a wonderful thing! It Inspires benefits far greater than the steps themselves. The performance when on stage allows for a powerful metaphor to be realized.
Facing fear and dancing with it allows dancers to grow outside of themselves to face greater challenges in life. These are the future leaders, the 1% Every performance is therefore a celebration and worthy of our full time and attention.
Are all competitions the same?
…Not really 🙂

Our events look for opportunities to see dancers shining and celebrating it with them!

The secret of success
Four secrets to Winning at Competition – “the formula”
Create the facility
Work out, get in peak physical condition! Don’t slack, play hard! Don’t “mark the numbers.”
You need strength & stamina to dance full out!
Visualize perfect execution
Pro athletes and Olympians do this. It is effective in locking in the routine and creating a familiarity with the performance before it is danced.
Set Muscle memory
Practice and repetition of full out danced routines “done right,” will allow you to concentrate on the subtle things that make the winning difference when you perform…its the mark of mastery!
Overcome your own limiting beliefs
If you have done the work, often the thing that holds people back is themselves. At the end of the day the competition is really with your own last best performance. You’ve got this, now Inspire us!
