From the reviews

Encore has been our home away from home for several years now. Each and every season the teachers and staff amaze me. This studio is filled with teachers who go above and beyond for their students.

★★★★★ — Katrina, May 2026

Ms. Kenzie has been such a blessing to our family. My daughter started with her at just 3 years old and is now 4, and we truly could not ask for a better tap/ballet teacher. Her patience, kindness, and love for the kids shines through in everything she does.

★★★★★ — Ashley, May 2026

We LOVE Encore. My daughter has been a student for 3 years and has loved her ballet classes with Ms. Anna. She has learned so much and grown in her confidence through the guidance and support she has through Ms. Anna. Ms. Rachel is absolutely outstanding...

★★★★★ — Kayla, Apr 2026

Madi has had Anna Chavez this year for Ballet and Tap. She loves her as a teacher and enjoys going to class every week. When Anna was out on maternity leave, the other two girls did a great job filling in and teaching the class. Also, Madi is taking gymnastics with Ms. Rachel and is enjoying those classes too!

Your first ballet class at Encore School of Dance

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
