Our Story

"The school I wish I had gone to." - John Selya (American Ballet Theatre, Movin' Out, Come Fly Away, Guys & Dolls)

Our vision is to operate an institution that empowers creativity, inspires audiences, and facilitates a “share-learn” culture in a friendly, encouraging, and professional environment. We are changing the way performing arts education is taught by using family-based philosophy, responsibility, ethical conduct, mentoring, and professional mentorship/modeling.

We are a dance studio, acting school, and vocal studio all under one roof and unlike anything you've visited before. We are a year round school which focuses on one program performing at a time, so that students are always getting stronger as performers and in their technique. This school is inspired by the Hawaiian culture to cultivate the individual in an encouraging environment that trains the artist in self-worth, confidence, technique, and responsibility while crafting their skills as a performer.

We don't believe that students should compete with each other. Instead each student is taught to develop themselves and encourage their classmates to be the best individual artist that they can be. Students and staff encourage our artists to fulfill their dreams and become the artist they are destined to be, whether it's professionally or recreationally.

Syllabus Classes: Classical Ballet, Contemporary Pointe, Tap, Theatre Dance, Acting, Pop Singing, Modern, Jazz, and Contemporary. We will continue to discover and utilize new teaching methods in dance, theater, and voice instruction for all ages.

START AT ANY AGE!

Professional:

Our teaching styles, methods, and interactions are geared towards preparing you for a life in a working environment. Students rarely have the opportunity to have a relationship with adults as a 'boss.' Our teachers are friendly, engaged in your life, but maintain professional boundaries, preparing you for the kinds of relationships you'll find in the real world!

Empowered:

We believe that every student has something beautiful and individual to offer as a contribution to the performing arts, utilizing their own talents. Therefore, we train our students that way as well. We do not train for trick-heavy or cookie-cutter performers. Our students are artists.

If you want to begin the journey in dance, acting, or singing, you are NOT too old. We have beginning students in all ages from middle school, high school, and adult students and we treat you as if you can do it! Fulfill your dreams and become a performer, today!

Family:

Welcoming. Kindness. Love. Family. Your teachers are your mentors and guides for life when you attend Inspiration. Constantly helping you become the artist you can be. Your peers become friends and family, learning and growing with a support system that will be with you in your heart forever.

Sharing:

Instead of teaching through rote dictatorship, our teachers are passionate about show business and the performing arts, sharing all they can with their students.
