Inspire creativity. Build confidence. Discover the performer within.
Meet The Team
Kathryn Dean
"My two girls aged 7 and 4, absolutely love Dance and Drama💕 It's amazing to see how much their confidence has grown, especially my youngest, and they both look forward to their classes every week. The coaches are so patient, caring and encouraging. Inspire is so much more than just a dance class - its a place where the girls can be themselves, make friends, build confidence and have lots of fun. I honestly couldn't recommend Inspire Dance & Drama enough! 🌟"
Suzanne McMullan
"Amazing Experience for my daughter. Her confidence has grown loads and she loves❤️ her Saturday mornings at dance and drama"
Karly Pollock
"Both of my girls have attended the Easter workshop and the weekend classes. My eldest (4) would be quite reserved compared to her little sister and these classes really brought her out of her shell. Each week her confidence just grows. The little lady (2) is a singing, dancing, acting drama queen and this class has been brilliant for her. She thoroughly enjoys going dancing every Saturday morning and carries these on at home. Lastly, I would like to mention the amazing Jessica!! she is unbelievable with the kids, has so much energy, great interaction and skills for each of the children of all abilities. Defo recommend this for anyone!"
Amy Woodall
"I cannot say enough good things about Inspire Dance and Drama with Jessica! My 2-year-old son Angus absolutely loved attending their Easter camp and can’t wait for the summer one too. From the moment we first walked through the doors, Jessica made us feel so welcome. Her energy is contagious,her patience is endless, and her passion for the arts and working with little ones truly shines through in everything she does."
Tanya McNeill
"Eliza did the Easter workshop and absolutely loved it , she has been attending Saturday morning classes since then and loves everything about dance and drama and of course Jessica!🌟"
