Programs

DANCE FOR ALL MOVEMENT LEVELS

Recreational dance classes for dancers of all ages.


With options for toddlers up to high school, our recreational dance classes range from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the age and ability of the class. This program is held through the school year and helps dancers learn the fundamentals of movement and chosen dance styles.

For continued and advanced dance training.

For our Intensive program, students must have previous training and an invitation from the staff for placement. Intensive Dancers are placed into classes of age and ability similar dancers within their own classes. Dancers who have trained for a minimum of 5 years will have the opportunity to perform a Senior Solo in our annual recital.

Role models first, dancers second.

Team members on The Collaborative competition team are dancers here at Encore who are of the highest caliber and character. They serve as role models for all of our studio’s dancers, recognized for their original choreography, dynamic performances, and impeccable sportsmanship. This competition program gives dancers the room to strive for their highest potential and growth. Each dancer is placed in a group where they can showcase their strengths and continue to develop their abilities, technique, and artistry in all dance styles.

Performances

Dancers will train in ballet, tap, jazz and contemporary along with additional technique, flexibility and acro classes. Performance opportunities, include:

  • Regional and national performances.
  • 3 to 4 competitions each season between January and March.
  • Conventions and master classes.
  • Annual Encore Recital.

Schedule

We require our competitive dancers to train year-round. Every August, dancers attend mandatory choreography camps, where they learn all group competition choreography. These dancers are responsible for all team dues, including summer classes, competition fees, costume fees, and travel expenses.

Eligibility

Dancers will be personally invited by our staff each season based on performance, ability, age, experience, and potential. We also consider each dancer’s overall attitude, behavior in and out of the studio, dedication in class, and interaction with instructors and classmates.

Interested in becoming a Collaborative dancer?

All dancers must be evaluated and invited by Encore staff. To be eligible, dancers must have experience in our Intensive Program.

We hold an Open Call in May for eligible dancers, ages 8 and up. Dancers will work with one or more of our competitive instructors and audition for evaluation and placement on a team or into one of our programs.

See the ins and outs of competitive dance.

Every June, we hold a two-week training camp for our younger dancers. This camp gives dancers a chance to work with our Collaborative instructors and get a feel for the requirements and pace of competitive dance.

What is the check-in process?

Please arrive at your class time to keep the lobby free from crowding. Wait outside your designated classroom for the teacher to welcome you into class. Please keep in mind there will be a class exiting the facility. We encourage dancers to only have one chaperone in the facility during drop off and pick up.

Chaperones are welcome to enter the facility this year for drop off and pick up. The lobby will only be used for dancers during class transitions. Since the lobby areas are closed, Dancers must be picked up promptly at the end of their class.

Where dancers of all ages will be inspired, nurtured, and treated with respect.
