Welcome to Encore! Productions
Currently, Encore! is home to 700+ students who study music, drama and dance. We offer 72 different weekly classes, for dancers of all ages, from newborns through adults. With a staff of caring individuals, classes are taught with an organized curricula and syllabus, in an educational but fun way. Workshops, camps, and tea parties allow students to expand their creativity. Encore! operates in an atmosphere that highlights “family values” in a child-safe, friendly environment.
It is our goal to provide an opportunity for children in the community to experience theater arts in a safe, professional environment. Our unique approach to child development fosters self-esteem, confidence, pose, and creativity. Students will flourish in an environment filled with quality leadership, professional instruction and caring individuals. We strive to give all students the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful world of music, dance, and drama in a comfortable, no pressure, FUN way! There are NO exams, NO try-outs, and all participants are welcome, but NOT required to join in any or all recital productions at their ability level.
Enjoy your dancing!
