We registered our 4 y/o for dance classes this summer and have had a wonderful experience so far! Communication with the Academy has been easy and efficient. They are very responsive, which is so valuable, as a parent! Our daughter is thoroughly enjoying her class and teacher, and she is already growing as a little dancer! Thank you, Encore!
Our experience has been great with this dance company! Our daughter is still getting used to the classes but the instructor is very nice and is understanding. The Dance With Me class is so much fun for our toddler. And also affordable!! I look forward to this season and will definitely be signing up for other classes as she gets older! Highly recommend!
My daughter Jordyn is now a new dancer at Encore Academy! She lovesss it! Staff and the teachers are amazing. I look forward to watching her grow and I’m very excited for the recitals to come!
I Love Encore dance it is such a family oriented company. Mrs. Dawn is a true asset to the company, she always makes the parents feel appreciated and she loves the children like they are her own. My grandson would need a little encouragement when he came to class and she would step right in to assist. Mrs. Lindsey is also great as the owner she runs the business with much integrity which is always important. If you want your child to be in a group where they are cherished please send them to this studio.
My daughter, Kaylee has been attending Encore since she was three. She loves it and the teachers and staff are amazing! She was very shy when she started but her teachers were so patient and now she is teaching me her dance moves! lol

Where every child shines on stage and in life through the joy of dance.
