History
At ENCORE, we believe that the study of dance is an art form, a long distance marathon. We support our students in following their dreams and finding their own paths. Many of our current students have been accepted and attend the highly accredited Los Angeles High School of Performing Arts. And those that have gone on to pursue a career beyond high school, have received scholarships and attend university dance programs across the country, including NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Boston Conservatory, and University of the Arts in Philadelphia. What we offer at ENCORE will last your child a lifetime. Whether it is in dance or the discipline that goes along with learning the art, we believe your children will gain confidence in themselves and carry it with them in whatever they choose to do in their life.
