Our People

Miss Mary Ingersoll founded Inspirations in 2007 with a mission of Sharing Technique and Appreciation, Inspiring Students to love Dance and the Arts for a lifetime.

This legacy of love for the arts and positive growth in the community lives strong as hundreds of students have experience dance, music and art instruction over the years.

"I want the children in Northwest Missouri to have excellent arts instruction that enriches their lives," she says. "Dance day was the best day for my entire childhood. And I lived to be on stage performing. I love passing on my passion to my community!
