Encore Dance Center is staffed with highly qualified and experienced instructors. Members of our staff have degrees from Goucher College, DeSales University, Western Kentucky University, Barry University and Butler University. Encore staff continues to broaden their education through pre-school certifications, dance workshops and seminars. Combined with their knowledge of teaching many have had the opportunity to perform in many productions such as Boston Ballet Company, Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, NYC, Miami Ballet, College dance troupes, Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and Opus One Contemporary Dance Company.

Our studio not only develops the child's technique and knowledge of dance, but the love of this fabulous art form. It is an instructor's job to guide their student's down the appropriate path-encourage not discourage.
