🎓 SENIOR SPOTLIGHT ✨

Help us in congratulating our final graduate in the class of 2026, Maya Mitchell!

Maya is graduating from Skyline High School and will be attending the University of Arizona this fall to study Elementary Education. She has danced at Inspire for the past 10 years and has grown up within the studio as both a member of Elevate Dance Company and a beloved member of our teaching staff for the past two years.

Maya is kind, mature, and a truly beautiful performer, with a consistency and reliability that has made her someone both her peers and teachers deeply trust. You can always count on Maya to show up exactly where she needs to be, fully prepared, focused, and ready to work.

Watching Maya grow over these 10 years has been an absolute privilege, and it will be strange not having her around the studio day to day. Maya, we are so proud of the dancer, teacher, and young woman you have become, and we cannot wait to see all that you will accomplish in the next chapter of your journey!

FROM MAYA
Dance has taught me so much about passion, hard work, and perseverance. It has shown me that to get what you want, you have to be willing to push through the hard times and stay committed to your goals. It has also taught me how to work well with others and the importance of being part of a team.

Inspire has shaped not only my love for dance, but also my passion for education. If it weren’t for Inspire, I don’t think I would have discovered how much I love teaching. I have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with younger dancers through summer camps and classes, and even to teach classes of my own.

I am incredibly grateful for everyone at Inspire who has supported me over the past 10 years. This studio has truly become my second home, and I will always carry everything I have learned here with me.

Shoutout to my parents for supporting me through all 10 years of dance. From my mom showing up to every single event for me and to my dad for paying for all of it!

With love, Maya

Help us in congratulating our first 2026 Senior, Roya Behziz!

Roya is graduating from Issaquah High School and will be attending University of California San Diego this fall, where she plans to study Human Biology and Economics on the Pre-Med track. Roya has danced at Inspire for the past eight years as a member of Elevate Dance Company.

Roya is incredibly intelligent and driven, and it has been so exciting to watch her passions evolve over the years. One of the most unique things about Roya’s journey is seeing how dance helped spark her interest in biomechanics and ultimately fueled her path toward medicine. Her curiosity, discipline, and desire to understand the body and movement on a deeper level have always set her apart, and we have been consistently impressed by both her academic ambition and her commitment to dance.

Throughout her years at Inspire, Roya has approached everything she does with determination. Watching her pursue her passions so intentionally has been inspiring to everyone around her, and we know she has an incredibly bright future ahead. Roya, we are so proud of everything you have accomplished, and cannot wait to see the impact you make in the world!

FROM ROYA
I have always loved dance, and through my passion for it, I have learned so much about myself. Dance taught me how to be a teammate, how to push myself, and the value of dedication and hard work.

Dance also led me to discover my interest in biomechanics and the strength required to move the way dancers do, which ultimately sparked my passion for medicine. Inspire has truly been the vessel through which I discovered so many of my passions, and I will always be grateful for everything this studio has given me.

Thank you for the memories, the support, and everything you have taught me over the years. My time at Inspire is something I will always cherish and greatly miss.

With love,  Roya
