Reviews from Inspire Dance Centre families.......

As a professional ballet dancer, a teacher with a BFA in dance and a homeschool mother, I am very extremely particular when it comes to choosing a dance studio for my children. I am so happy we found Debbie Pearce and Inspire Dance Centre! Love the welcoming atmosphere and quality teaching!

"We have been at Inspire for three years and my daughter still gives the studio 5 stars!! (She would give 10 if google had 10! 😁)"

Inspire Dance is the best! My girls Marineh and Emily have grown so much! Everyone is so amazing. A great community!!!

​Gayane K.
THE REAL DEAL! Over the last several years our dancers have developed to unexpected levels of facility under the focused coaching from the team at INSPIRE. This studio continues to grow in both size & accolades because those dancers who are serious and committed find a deep resource of experience in the instructors. No matter the style - You will find an unmatched PRE-PROFESSIONAL experience joining IDC!

"It shows when someone loves what they do, Debbie has shown our family her love and compassion for the art of dance. Our daughter has grown in her ballet abilities, her confidence, and in her desire to continue learning all under the teaching of Debbie. We appreciate, and respect the environment that Is created in the studio. It is the perfect balance between learning and laughter. This is obvious to us when we see how excited our daughter is to attend class, she always leaves with a smile, and continues working on her skills at home. We are so thankful for the time and effort Debbie puts into all of her students."  ~ Ashley Carlson
"Debbie has been instrumental in both of my girls' growth and love of ballet. They now take pride in their technique, are motivated to learn more, and exclaim after every class how much they enjoy her teaching. It is so apparent that she is passionate about what she does, as it truly shines in her students." ~ Megan A.
"We were so fortunate to have Debbie Pierce teach our daughter Reese's ballet class this past year.  Reese improved dramatically in her musicality, technical skills and confidence.  Debbie's passion for dance and her love of children make her an excellent ballet teacher." ~ Jessica H.
"My daughter has been a part of Debbie Pierce’s studio and her ballet instruction for almost 10 years now.  We are so thankful for the professionalism and guidance she has provided.  Ms. Pierce believes in a strong work ethic and expects her students to work hard, but when it is appropriate they have fun too.  It’s no surprise that when Debbie’s girls audition for Joffrey’s summer program they are accepted.  Because of Debbie and Dawn's hard work together, my daughter is a strong and beautiful ballerina.  We would like to thank Debbie for her dedication and look forward to many more years with her."  ~ Yvonne I.

Nutcracker Production Reviews


Pamplin Media 12/5/2018 - AN EVENING WITH THE NUTCRACKER: Students bring holiday classic to life
"Dear Mrs. Pierce,

My wife and I had the joy of attending your presentation of The Nutcracker on Saturday evening, December 12.  

I had to send you a note and thank you for the wonderful production - from top to bottom!  I have been involved in a lot of musical productions, concerts, and have attended The Nutcracker numerous times and can sometimes be a bit picky - nice, but quietly fussy.  Not with this show!  Your show was delightful and held my attention throughout. I was so impressed with your dancers and choreography!  The sets and costumes were delightful!  The entire event was a treat and the best Christmas event of the season for me this year!  And, it was FUN!

Thank you for the many years of service to our community and the inspiration and joy you bring to so many children, their family, and friends.  God bless your continued work with young people."
​~ Allen Evans, music teacher at Deep Creek-
Damascus K-8 School


​"We attended the Nutcracker at MHCC and absolutely loved it! We will be making it a yearly tradition." ~ Sarah Evans
