About Us

Inspire Dance Team is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Katarina Lengyel, a lifelong dancer who discovered the power of movement as a source of confidence, healing, and joy. Growing up with a cousin with a disability, Katarina developed a deep understanding of the importance of inclusion and belonging, and always knew she wanted to share her love for the arts in a way that truly made space for everyone. What began as a personal passion evolved into a mission to create a community where individuals of all abilities feel seen, celebrated, and empowered.

We offer inclusive dance programs, performance showcases, and social opportunities specifically designed for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our programs are supportive, adaptive, and community-focused—allowing every participant to express themselves creatively, build confidence, form meaningful connections, and grow both on and off the dance floor.

Inspire Dance Team is a fully volunteer-run, passion-driven organization, powered by dedicated individuals who believe deeply in access to the arts and community for all. Every program, event, and experience is built with care, intention, and a shared commitment to inclusion, belonging, and joy.

Inspire Dance Team’s mission is to create inclusive dance, performing arts, and social experiences that empower individuals of all abilities. Through accessible programming and community connection, we strive to build confidence, creativity, belonging, and meaningful opportunities for self-expression both on and off the stage.
