Tap

Tap involves rhythm and coordination to build complex combinations of tap steps. Dancers at IDS begin tap as early as 3 years old, with classes advancing through Tap IV. *Adult tap description below 

Jazz

A high energy style of dance that uses a dancer's strength and flexibility, dancers learn fun leaps and turn combinations along with stylized choreography. Students can begin jazz in Level A and continue through Jazz IV.

Lyrical

Emotion and technique are interwoven to create a powerful piece in lyrical. Although ballet is not required, it is strongly suggested if dancers wish to succeed in this style. Lyrical is offered to dancers Level I - III. 

Hip Hop

A fun and fast-paced style, Hip Hop encourages dancers to get in touch with their sassy side. This class works on hip hop tricks such as kip-ups, stalls and cartwheels. Jazz is not required but strongly suggested for hip hop dancers. Hip hop is offered for students beginning with 4-5-6 year olds and progressing through Hip Hop III. 

Technique, Strength & Stretch

Technique classes are an amazing class for any dancer wanting to improve throughout the dance season. With a whole class designated specifically for technique, dancers will work on improving leaps, turns and alignment. We offer a technique class for Level I through III. 

Musical Theater

Musical theater combines dance and acting to tell a story or portray a character. In Inspire Dance Studio's musical theater class, dancers will tell a well known story through dance. Dancers are given the opportunity for solos, duets or small groups within their musical theater number. Broadway Musical is offered for dancers 1st grade and up.

Modern

A free and expressive style of dance, Modern allows dancers to explore movement outside of typical ballet or jazz training. Dancers will use different sources of inspiration to create unique choreography. Ballet is not required but strongly suggested to succeed in Modern. Modern I is available for dancers in dancing in levels I & II and Modern II is available for dancers Level I and up.

High Kick

High kick will take every dancer to the next level. With a focus on strength and flexibility, dancers will learn different high kick sequences to create a visually stunning dance. This class is great for any dancer on or wanting to be on any dance team. High Kick is available for dancers Level I and up.

Competition Team

Competition teams are auditioned teams for dancers 4th grade and up. Competition classes meet once a week to work on either a contemporary or a jazz routine that they compete 3-4 times throughout the year. Competition dancers must also take ballet and jazz/contemporary (based on which techniques they compete with their team). Inspire Dance Studio has four competition teams. Teams are built based on skill and age. 

Competition Class

Solos, duets, trios and small groups

Sometimes dancers are interested in competing but cannot make the commitment to an auditioned team. Sometimes dancers just want to compete more. Competition class is perfect solution for both of these dancers! Competition class meets once a week, does not have any requirements, and will compete a dance of the choreographer’s choice. Additional fees may incur.

Learning and competing a solo, duet, trio or in a small group is a great way to improve as a dancer. Dancers may elect to compete their solo, while graduating seniors may opt to only perform theirs in the recital. Doing a solo, duet, trio or small group does include additional fees for studio space, choreography fees and competition registration fees. Please speak with management if your dancer or dancers are interested in this opportunity.

Adult Tap

Adult tap is offered in three levels based on experience. Beginning with classic tap steps and continuing towards more complex combinations, adult tap has something to offer to everyone.
