About the Club

🌴 Welcome to Island School of Performing Arts! 🌴
At ISPA, we dance with heart, sparkle with joy, and grow with every step! Since 2009, our family-run studio has been a magical island where children discover confidence, creativity, and the love of performing arts. From tiny toes to confident teens, every dancer is celebrated in a nurturing, upbeat, and age-appropriate environment. Whether twirling in ballet, tapping to the beat, or flipping through acro, ISPA is where memories are made, friendships bloom, and every child shines like the star they are. 💜🎀

ISPA is the best dance studio! From the owners to the fellows dancers, everyone is so warm and welcoming. They prioritize fun, kindness, & safety. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better dance experience on the gulf coast and wish we could bring them everywhere we go! 10/10 recommend.

We love our dance studio!! My daughter has been dancing here about 2 years. We had a previous poor experience at another dance studio before coming to ISPA, and it really is night and day. We are so grateful to have found ISPA! My daughter has had 4 different instructors here between ballet/tap and acro, and each one is fantastic. She comes home excited to show me new things she has learned at dance. We love it here and highly recommend to everyone!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Island School of Performing Arts! My daughter and I love ISPA so much we are BOTH students! That's right! This studio isn't just for the kiddos! From the very first day it was obvious they LOOOOVE what they do at Island School of Performing Arts! All the instructors are so passionate about each of their students - from the littlest ballerina to an "adult learner - lol" like myself. Ms. Toni and Ms. Casey are a fun, loving, artistically AMAZING mother-daughter team that pours their hearts into their studio and boy does it show in EVERYTHING they do! We are so very blessed to be a part of the ISPA Ohana Family! I would recommend over and over!

My 2yr. old son started classes here just 3 weeks ago. I am extremely happy with this studio. The instructors are amazing with the students. Everyone is so helpful and seems to love what they are doing. I look forward to many great years with ISPA.

My daughter is 3 and she loves it. Very affordable prices and the instructors are extremely nice. We had a bad experience at another dance studio and we are happy to have found this place. They offer zoom videos to watch your little ones and are very good about communication. Highly recommend for your little ones.

This is the best studio my child has ever attended. They have the nicest teachers and the staff is super friendly. My daughter has danced there for the last 4years and has been on the performance team also and the dances and costumes I feel are age appropriate. I would recommend this studio for any parents looking for a fun environment for their child to learn to dance.

The best studio all around! My daughter has been taking dance since the studio opened 5 years ago! Tap, ballet, Acro, Contemporary, and Modern/Pointe; she's done thus far!!! More to come! Experienced instructors and awesome staff! Definately feel like family every time we are there. A lot to offer at Island School; so happy to have the oppurtunity to participate with such professionals. Watched these girls grow and bloom into great dancers. We love you!!!!!!!

ISPA is an excellent Dance / Performing Arts school! The staff is very passionate, knowledgeable, and they all work very well with the kids. Our daughter has been a part of this school since they opened 4 years ago, and we couldn't be happier! Also, they put on the best recital on the MS Coast every year. You will not be disappointed if you give them a try.
