History

Established in 2004.

Encore Performing Arts is committed to providing high quality dance classes to enhance the overall development of your child. We provide a safe and child centered environment to encourage our students to explore dance with qualified, nurturing teachers. We believe that dance training encourages young people to develop a positive self image as they increase awareness of their physical being. Along with improving coordination skills and developing muscular awareness, dance classes give children the freedom to express themselves through movement. The highest educational standards are expected from all Encore’s faculty members. They are lifelong learners who continue to educate themselves through certification programs, teacher training schools, conferences and other learning opportunities.
