Class Descriptions:
*Ages are as of Fall 2021. Ages for elementary through high school students are rough estimates based more on previous dance experience and levels. If you are coming to us from another studio and have previous dance experience, we suggest setting up a Dance Placement so that we can place you in a class where you will feel happy, challenged, and inspired! Dance Placement is held in a positive, fun, and self-esteem building environment. Please email the studio if you would like to set up a Dance Placement inspiredancestudio.la@gmail.com
*Fall/Spring Season runs late August through mid June culminating in our June Spring Showcase. Dance students are enrolled for the full season. Musical Theatre classes are held in TWO half year sessions (late Aug through mid Jan AND mid-Jan through mid June).
