When my son started playing competitive baseball our biggest priority was development over trophies. We knew with the right coaches he wouldn't just be learning the right way to play baseball, he'd be learning life lessons that would be applicable as he transitioned to an adult. Those lessons are transferable with dance at Encore. Miss Tiffany isn't just a dance instructor, she's proven to be a someone that teaches our girls applicable life lessons at practices and competitions. Teamwork, supporting the community, workshop participation, staying humble when you win and learning how to improve in defeat. She encourages all her teams to support those that are shy or putting themselves out there to try something new. Joining Encore has been the best decision our family has made for our daughters. If there was only a way to keep them from growing up. I'm proud to be an Encore cheering dad.

From recreational to competition, you can find what you are looking for at Encore. You are welcomed by caring and professional staff, with a clean and safe environment.

Whether you are looking for a fun activity to get out of the house for a bit or want your child to have a strong dance foundation focused on technique, Encore Dance is by far the best studio in the area.

What I got was choreography, therapy, and a much-needed reminder that my partner and I actually like each other. From the moment we stepped into the studio, she made us feel like Fred and Ginger -- minus the pressure, plus a lot of laughter. They have this rare magic: patient enough to teach two left feet, sharp enough to know when to push, and funny enough to make even a stiff rehearsal feel like a date night. We walked out not just with a first dance we're proud of -- but with a little more rhythm between us too. Honestly, if you're looking for a wedding dance teacher, you just found the best. And if you're looking for a relationship tune-up disguised as a waltz? Even better. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone in love, on the rocks, or just trying to find their beat again.

A variety of classes are offered for a variety of different age ranges. This studio has one large room downstairs and one smaller loft room upstairs. Unfortunately the layout and location of the classes didn't work for us. My daughter took her 1st dance class here with another toddler friend. The class was located upstairs in the loft room, which for many reasons was not ideal. First safety, the stairs are tall and there is nothing blocking them. I felt that I needed to stay to ensure my daughter didn't go down the stairs. Second, The area for parents to watch is just a line of chairs in the same room as the children who are taking the classes, we found this to be disruptive and didn't support learning for our daughters. Third, the teacher was nice but there was a lack of strictness/structure. Overall if you have a toddler I wouldn't recommend this studio
