I recommend this place. We drive 40 mins to bring my daughter here for ballet. First time and she enjoyed her winter semester. We will be returning .

Arts Inspired Dance Academy has been incredible for our daughter. We’ve found a supportive, encouraging, and inclusive place for extracurricular activities like drama, gymnastics, and summer day camps. Our daughter has forged new friendships and grown tremendously while at AIDA. All of her instructors, including the owner (Mrs. Michelle), are great at communicating, supporting the students, and meeting them where they are. We are so blessed to have something like AIDA in downtown Fuquay-Varina.

This place has really built confidence in my 13 year old daughter. She says if she can speak and sing on stage in front of a crowd, she can speak in front of anyone. The director is very hands on and communicates excellently. The tuition is affordable and there is a diverse group of kids. We are now going into our 3rd season and loving it!

We have been very happy with our 4yr old attending here. I especially love their variety of classes and the different levels of commitment that you can choose from. A 2hr class, 1x a week, for just the Fall with either drop in option or pay for full session is really a great option to give parents and young children. There is something for everyone here! Their communication is also wonderful and everyone has been very nice and welcoming. We'll definitely be sticking around!

Let me begin by saying there are not many active programs available for children younger than 4 in Fuquay-Varina. Arts Inspired Dance Academy gets a huge plus for organizing a space where my two year old can be apart of a group activity with children her own age. She always lights up when I tell her today is dance class day. She currently attends the β€œTiny Artist” class and always leaves happy. It is a very great price, too! Michelle is helpful and responds quickly and the teachers are all so kind to my daughter. The small in house boutique has proven to be a great convenience as well. All in all, we are very happy with our experience with AIDA!

Safe environment. Ms. Michelle is a Rockstar Coach! The gym is clean and the equipment is well maintained. My child's creating fun memories, found new friends and loves gymnastics. Helps build strength and confidence. We're looking forward to next year's class.

Arts Inspired Dance Academy has been more than a dance lessons for us. It's a home away from home.

Our daughter started taking "Mommy & Me" classes, to ballet, preschool, tap, gymnastics, & many summers of camp.

Our family loves AIDA & the staff. Ms. Michelle is amazing & always there for everyone.

I highly recommend trying any of their many activities....drama, arts classes, ballet, tap, gymnastics, Little Ninjas class. You won't be disappointed.

Our family thanks our lucky stars everyday for this wonderful safe space for our daughter. She has struggled with anxiety for a couple of years now and it has limited her tremendously in terms of activities. This, in turn, caused a lot of sadness and hopelessness as she saw other children excel. Then we discovered AIDA! Thank you, Arts Inspired and especially Ms. Lynsey (and Skylar!) for giving her wings. Our family will be forever grateful to Ms. Lynsey's kindness, patience and encouragement. She has quite literally changed the trajectory of a painfully anxious little girl. So grateful for this wonderful space for our kids to have fun, grow and learn!

Just had a trial class here today and had the best experience! My son Stefan is autistic and new to any sort of class setting and the teachers were so kind to him and tried included him in every activity while still respecting his boundaries. I’m truly blown away and he had an amazing experience! If your kid is neuro-divergent I would definitely bring them here!

Very friendly atmosphere and I really like how my email inbox is not being inundated with unnecessary emails (I’ve found this happens with other child programs). Ms. Michelle is flexible and accommodating with my twin girls and the whole experience has been pleasant and simple. So thankful to have found AIDA.

We love AIDA! It's a family within itself for your children to thrive and learn about dance and themselves. We've done camps and classes and dramaworks and love the opportunities that are always available.

My girls have been taking dance for many years with Ms. Michelle. My girls are always eager to attend dance and it has been amazing to watch them grow as dancers through the years. As a parent, I appreciate Michelle's desire to have students serve and give back in the community. In addition, dancers are given opportunities to lead, which has aided in my older daughter's maturity. Michelle has made it a priority to continue the dance community even during the midst of forced closures. She offered online classes and socially distanced options to keep students engaged and connected. I am very pleased that our family is part of AIDA!

Arts Inspired is amazing!!! Unlike other dance schools that are overcrowded and poorly managed...Ms. Michelle (the owner of AIDA) and lead dance teacher intentionally keeps the class sizes smaller in order to have more one on one time with her students. This is so important to help little ones build confidence through dance and movement and you can tell every child at this dance school loves and admires her! She and her staff are all personable, welcoming, professional, knowledgeable and above all you can tell they all truly enjoy working with children! I wouldn't have my child dance anywhere else!

I LOVE this studio. It offers many different types of classes from dance, music theory, art, tumbling, yoga and online options with educational classes for children. My kids love to try out the different classes offered. I like the flexibility of being able to do the drop in classes along with the monthly classes. The best part is they have adult classes too so the parents can join in the fun of the studio. The staff all treat you like family so it’s a wonderful community to be part of.

Both of my daughters have taken classes with Ms. Michelle. Today I witnessed my 3 year old doing ballet, tap, and tumbling moves with no prior experience. She is beyond fabulous, and truly cares about the kids. Please sign up for dance here. She is very considerate of costs, and goes above and beyond to help others in our community. πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

My daughters have been with Arts Inspired and Ms. Michelle for almost 4 years. They have learned so much. Not just in dance but in life. Michelle is such a wonderful part of our community and she really bridges that gap between the town and our children.
