ABOUT

We at ENCORE, firmly believe that we have the best instruction in the entire San Gabriel Valley. We have been serving our community for nearly 40 years and are proud that we continue to inspire our students to achieve their goals, grow their self confidence and celebrate dance in their lives. Whether your child is here to dance recreationally, or to study the art of dance seriously, we have a passionate and curated staff to accommodate both. Our instructors come from all over the country, they have vast experience in all facets of the industry.  From working professionally in theater, TV and film, to teaching in the dance convention circuit, to choreographing for stage and screen, they have done it all. Regardless of their own personal dance journey, they all have one thing in common...they love being mentors to our students at ENCORE! They love seeing our students passion grow and are perfect role models for work ethic, confidence and the passion for dance.

At ENCORE, we believe that the study of dance is an art form. We support our students in following their dreams and finding their own paths. Our hope is that dance can help nurture their journey whether it be by the discipline of dance, or something more personal by turning it into a career. Many of our current students have attended the highly accredited Los Angeles High School of Performing Arts as well as CSARTS. We also have many students who choose to stay local and be a part of their dance or spirit teams at our local junior high and high schools. We are so proud of all of them and honored that we get to be part of their  accomplishments!  And to those that have gone on to pursue a career beyond high school, the ones that have received scholarships and attend university dance programs across the country like NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Boston Conservatory, PACE, UCI and University of the Arts in Philadelphia, we love to follow their success and journey too!

We are so proud of all our Alumni that now work professionally across the country. Some of their accomplishments have been Dance Captain Positions, Summer Stock, Theater, Cruise Ships, Disney, Film, TV, Radio City Rockettes and the Russian Ballet Company.

We are confident that 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. Thank you for being a part of our family!
