Kids Dance Classes in South Gilbert

Kids dance classes at INSPIRE Entertainment of South Gilbert are designed for East Valley families who need schedules that fit a real week. We are located at 3341 E Queen Creek Rd. Suite 104, Gilbert, AZ 85297, on the southeast corner of Higley and Queen Creek—our dedicated South Gilbert campus.

We know families are balancing packed calendars with school, sports, and other activities. Parents want a studio that feels safe, kind, and values-forward. We teach dance as a performing art in an inspiring, uplifting space. Kids learn technique, musicality, and how to be wonderful classmates. Most importantly, they leave standing a little taller with newly found confidence.

Classes run from age 2 through adult, making it easy for older siblings to train in the same building. If you are not sure which style is best for your child, a free first class is the perfect way to find their placement. Studio Director Shelley Van Shaar and our team of professional educators lead the way, with our Soul Squad providing an optional competitive track.

New families are welcome to start with a free class. Call (480) 690-6855, or use our free class and register pages. We proudly serve Gilbert, Queen Creek, and Chandler from our Queen Creek Rd studio, backed by 5.0 stars on Google from 66 reviews.

What kids actually do in class

Students master progressions in dance, with clear paths into musical theatre, tumbling, and cheer/pom if they want to explore a second style. Recitals and studio community events are highlights of our year. Our family-first culture ensures that a shy first-timer and a driven, experienced dancer can thrive together in the same building.
