Testimonials
“Congratulations on organizing such a fantastic event! My students had so much fun and have not stopped talking about it!”
– Studio Director from Alabama
“I just wanted to give a ‘thank you’ to you and all of your staff for a great competition weekend. You guys are by far the most professional and organized competition around. I can honestly say I felt all the judging was extremely neutral and we felt just as important as the studios that brought 3x the amount of dancers we did. Thank you again!”
– Studio Director from Florida
“My group had a great time at your competition. It was so organized and friendly. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for everything!!”
– Studio Director from Virginia
“Inspire is the one that touched my heart. It was very personal and so much kindness. Classy studios. We just love you and appreciate your kindness so much.”
– Studio Director from Alabama
“We had an excellent time. Your staff were warm, welcoming, positive, and helpful. The day ran very smoothly and stayed pretty much on time. We will definitely be coming back to Inspire. Thank you for a positive experience for my dancers! As a side, my son (who is one of my competitors) was visibly upset Sunday night when we got home and when I asked him why, he said he was sad that the weekend was over. Thank you for that! It warmed my heart as his mom and as one of his instructors.”
– Studio Director from North Carolina
“We wanted to thank you all for everything you did to help with our experience yesterday. My parents were beyond complementary of your staff’s helpfulness when one of our dancers got sick, then another was injured during her first dance, and then their usually wonderful dance teacher (me) uploaded the wrong song to to your server. Not to mention, how you were able to schedule our soloist for a time I could be there and she, for the first time, was able to complete a solo!”

“Hi! Just wanted to drop a line now that we have concluded our competition season and let you all know how very impressed we were with Inspire! It was our first year with you all, and the competition was so professionally run, fun for the kids, and a pleasure to attend.”
-Studio Director from Georgia
“I wanted to specifically mention how much I appreciate the very detailed comments from our judge’s critiques. I have been disappointed in the past with very little constructive comments and suggestions in other competition’s critiques, but we were able to apply all of the Inspire’s judge’s comments and suggestions during our rehearsals and they ended up being a tremendous help at our next competition.”
– Studio Director from Florida
“I just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic weekend in Charlotte! We have heard from so many of our dancers and their families that have all told us about how much they enjoyed the competition. From the moment we stepped into the building Saturday morning all the way through Sunday night, everything was incredibly organized and positive. We cannot put into words how thankful we are for that! Every single member of your family was very helpful and supportive, and it all helped to create one of the best weekends we have ever had as a studio. It created such a positive atmosphere not only for us as a studio, but also between all of the studios there. I just wanted to let you know how thankful we are, and that we can’t wait to come back to Inspire in the future!”
– Studio Director from North Carolina

Ladies backstage when checking in were excited we were there-flexible when we checked in a little late because of a costume change. They were willing to help with anything!! Staff at souvineer table were very friendly and encouraging as well. It is obvious they are there for the dancers! This is a family owned competition and it shows!!!

“Had a wonderful time! My dancers really enjoyed their experience. I also like the fact this competition ran not only on time, but ahead of time. So much talent on that stage! Can’t wait to come back!”
– Studio Director from Georgia
“If you are looking for a competition with a “southern, family feel”, this one is for you! The staff is beyond nice and really gets to know you. It was not unusual for the staff to just walk up to you and ask your name, etc. It was not a “cheesy” feel however. Judging was fair–in fact, my child (who is my student) scores were stricter than they have been at other shows and I AGREE WITH THAT!!! There are lots of awards other than placement for props, type of routines and even awards for media hashtags–so lots of chances to win other trophies, etc. The location is awesome–I love they do a video after the awards and put it on Youtube. That’s very cool! My daughter was sick during the performance–and it was no issue to mail her trophies if we wanted. She also had two performances an hour away the same day and the staff had no issues making her number 001 so she could go first.”
– Parent from Alabama
“A Majority of my students are new to the competitive dance world and this was the perfect first competition for them! Schedule ran ahead which is fabulous! I had a scheduling error with one of my dancers and the director very promptly addressed it, and corrected the error. Love this competition…. We will be back.”
– Studio Director from Alabama
“Inspire NDC competition exceeded our expectations. CUSTOMER SERVICE: If you send an email, you will not only receive a reply within a few hours, but is very personalized. I was very impressed when I arrived to check-in, the person I had contacted a month before by email, remembered me–introduced herself and remembered my daughter. IMPRESSIVE! When we walked in, the venue sales person greets you with a smile and helped me find our way to check in. Everyone was there to have fun and help you. VENUE: For a small town, I am IMPRESSED! This location was top notch-super clean nice dressing rooms, everything clearly labeled and stage was beautiful. Music was a little loud. JUDGING: Judging was fair. Being also my child’s teacher, I did feel her score in one category may have been lower than they gave her–NOT COMPLAINING THO! Judges smiled and danced with every participate. It seemed like even after a long weekend, they were still having fun. AWARDS: NICE! Trophies are good size, plaques are good and they really give A LOT of different awards for judges choice (ten I believe) to really give everyone a chance to get a trophy. Also you receive medals for your score placements instead of those crappy ribbons I hate! OVERALL: My child had a blast. We are independents, which this competition allows. The competition was run so smoothly and had such great customer service that it was contagious! I watched girls from different dance studios supporting each other, high fiving and dancing together at awards. We had fun, HIGHLY recommend this competition to anyone but especially a studio or independent that is new to competitions–you will really have a great introduction to the world of dance competitions! MY CHILDS PLACEMENT: 1st overall, 1st in category, Highest solo score, judges choice choreography award, invitation to perform at nationals opening, $25 off solo at nationals, all star award and $500 off Hollywood Tours summer camp.”
