If your child wants to attend a studio where the leaders and teachers value every single child, regardless of the child's talent or number of classes per week, this is the place to dance.

Encore Performers has made me the dancer I am today. I am so grateful for both the support and…read moretechnique that my teachers have given me. Not only is the Jazz training like none other but the Ballet teachers are the best in Northern Virginia.

You will not regret sending your dancer to Encore Performers. Technique, support, and SO much fun!

As many times as I have complimented this school, we continue to struggle with communication and…read morethat has led to a revision of my review. My husband and daughter realized the hard way that we were not receiving emails from the school about half way into our second semester when every kid in class was told to wear Halloween costumes and ours was not prepared. We were told it's our fault and not theirs, "must be your spam folder" except neither my husband nor I have anything ever from them except a receipt of payment. We'll once again the school didn't communicate with us that they were going to be closed. I even spoke with the teacher via email the week before. I went through the whole website, and it said nothing about being closed. We structured our holiday weekend around her class and wake her up early to drive the extra distance from Ashburn. The school is NOT worth $325 + a 25 min commute. Will not be returning, but since we were invisible to them to begin with after 2 seasons enrolled, I doubt this feedback will even be recognized.

This studio created my passion for dance. There are also so many styles to choose from! I prefer hip hop. There are such good coaches.

When I called to ask if there would be room for me at the Zumba class, the woman who answered was…read morevery helpful and provided me with good directions to the studio. Zumba is a mix of latin and international dances so it's all about shakin it and enjoying yourself! If losing calories is your goal, this routine can eliminate 500-800 an hour. Check out www.novazumba.com for more info. The class, taught by Tanja Bossert, was super fun and enjoyable. The music was pumpin and her sassiness and smile motivated the whole room. I could tell some of the people were regulars but for my first time I felt I could keep up pretty well. I got a great workout and the classes are affordable. She also teaches Zumba Fusion at Pure Heart Yoga Studio in Fairfax, as well as Yava Yoga at Lady of America in Fairfax. Check it out!

The only downside is the small seats, why it's 4 not 5. It was hard to sit for the 2 hour show in the seats. Also they had no recycling for the bottle my beverage came in which was kind of a bummer.

They have pole classes and Lyra and fabric - super fun! They may have more, but those are the ones I've seen and considered. Since I'm relatively new to aerial arts, I've only taken a few classes here for Lyra and fabrics, but I have loved the classes. The class size is 6 or fewer, so your instructor has plenty of time to help you if you're lost, confused or, you know, stuck in the air. The instructors are talented individuals who take the time to model the skills and are adept at figuring out how to help you see the skills from different perspectives. They change cues and point out different muscles, movements and positions to cater to the student. There are mirrors in the front of the aerial studio, so, you can see what you're doing. It is helpful, but it can be a little daunting. I've never had a problem finding parking here. The cost is affordable as far as aerials arts classes are priced. There are options for class packages if you are interested in going regularly. Have fun, it's a blast!
