About us
Inspira Dance is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide sustainable, high-quality dance programs for all students. We don’t believe funds should be a barrier for students to access the arts, and we believe dance impacts students in a multitude of transformational ways. Research shows that dance increases self-confidence, attendance rates, increases emotional well-being and academic performance, while decreasing dropout rates.
Inspira dance hosts a variety of adult dance classes by partnering with local businesses, and these adult programs directly fund our student programs. At our core we are a community-based organization, working to make dance an integral part of our community spaces. The name Inspira comes from the Spanish word “Inspirar” – to inspire – and acknowledges the history of this organization in Latin dance programs for students and our desire to have our community come together to inspire the next generation of dancers.
