After my daughter's first few musical theatre dance classes at Encore, she was hooked! She felt comfortable in the class, and the teachers and other students made her feel at ease with herself. It wasn't long before she wanted to try ballet, tap and acting classes, too. Her confidence about her dancing ability has soared, and her love for dancing has only increased every year.
The instructors and other students at Encore have always been encouraging and supportive of her. She is challenged to work hard in a non-competitive environment, and has made many good friends over the years. Encore has a high caliber of instructors, who include working professionals in their field. We have always been impressed by the quality and compassion of Encore's instructors, who take a personal interest in their students. I would highly recommend Encore Studios of Dance, Tumbling, Music & Theatre!

My daughter loves Encore! Her experiences in class are always positive. Classes are the perfect size so each student really learns from their instructor. The staff is very organized and always available to answer any questions in a timely manner. I love the flexibility of classes and the way they are scheduled back to back so there's no running back and forth to the studio for this busy mom.
I must also add that the revue this year was amazing! It's so refreshing not to sell ads and buy expensive costumes. Not to mention the fact that the parents can sit and enjoy the show once the children are brought backstage before the revue. The focus is definitely on the child and their talent, not costumes and ads. Thank you Encore Studio for providing the perfect place for my daughter to learn and grow!

This is our fifth year at Encore and we still love it! There are so many reasons we have continued our daughter's education there. The staff is professional and dedicated to the artistic development of children. The instructors are phenomenal performers themselves and continue to work in their respective fields which brings real-world experience to the students.
The studio offers classes in so many disciplines, it's easy to get a well-rounded education. We also LOVE that there are no expensive costumes, program ads, or overly long performances at the end of the year. Our daughter has grown and developed so much under the direction of her instructors. We are so glad we found Encore!

I love that my daughters can take their piano class while the other is in a dance class. As my oldest discovers a love for theatre, Encore has every class that she needs to prepare her for future auditions and shows. She has been inspired by all of her teachers but especially can't wait to take ballet from such an expert in "technique".

Encore is so much more than a dancing school for my daughter. She has been a student for only 3 years. When she started she was not much of a dancer. She had just got started in musical theater and knew if she wanted to perform and get casted in shows she had a lot of technique and learning to do. I wish you could see a video from 3 years ago till now.
She has learned and accomplished so much. We attribute how far she has come to Encore and their amazing instructors. They hire qualified and professional teachers. Most of them have performed in musical theater locally and nationally. Who better to teach your child then that. I recommend that if you have a child that wants to pursue dance and rise above, this is where you need to be.
Unlike other dance studios that are strict and stressful, Encore is different. They motivate and teach in a more loving positive environment. We are so thankful to be a part of the Encore family!

My daughter has been attending Encore Studio for 9 years, taking classes in dance, tumbling and musical theater. I love that she is learning from real-world professionals who are dedicated to teaching and helping each child grow artistically. The professionally produced end-of-the-year concert showcases what they have learned without the distraction and expense of flashy used-once costumes and ad sales, letting each child shine - usually in just an hour and a half! I highly recommend Encore to anyone who wants their child to not only learn to dance, but to learn the art of performance.
