“You have a great group of kids here! I can't believe how much you can offer them and how amazing your facilities are. I wish I had a place like this when I was growing up.”
   - Jason Patrick Sands, after teaching a Fosse master class at Encore. Currently playing Billy Flynn in 'Chicago' on Broadway, assistant to Jerry Mitchell, director/chorographer for 'Legally Blonde: The Musical', and assistant to Susan Stroman, director/choreographer for 'The Producers'

“Encore has been a breath of fresh air for our city and our kids. Our kids have grown as artists and I watched their talents grow while attending Encore. I didn't want to have my kids in a dance recital where they change 4 outfits, all sparkles and pixi dust...I wanted to see our kids in their natural state. Encore was our answer. When you see a theater, tumbling or music performance that Encore produces, you are instantly embraced with amazement of what the kids on stage learned to perform. As I watch my kids on stage sing, dance and make people laugh...it dawns on me that they are not in crazy outfits that I would be distracted by, instead I am focused on the talent of every child on stage. If you want your child to be an artist and a master of their craft first you need to surround them by artistic motivators that know how to "TEACH" you how to be your best. My wife and I see the little artist in our kids flourishing everyday. We cannot get through a meal without our girls showing us the moves and songs they learned at Encore. As a father and fellow artist, I love seeing the positive effects Encore has made on my kids.”

“I believe that the staff at Encore is top-notch and the students are actually learning the art of dance and discipline that goes along with it. I appreciate the email notifications and feel as though things are handled in the most efficient manner. Each year it just gets better and better! I am very satisfied with the school and continue to recommend it to others who are beyond the costumes and pageantry.”

“I really enjoy attending Encore. I live in Destrehan so it's a bit of a ride, but totally worth it. Thanks again.”

“My husband and I were so surprised by how much Olivia has learned in such a short period of time. In spite of our many requests, she never shows us any of the steps she learns in class. We were thrilled and pleasantly surprised that our reserved 3 year old performed on stage and made it through to the finale.”

“Finally! I am so happy you added music lessons. Her old piano teacher moved away, and now she can take her piano lessons right before tumbling. Perfect! ”

“I was almost in tears and my wife was crying in the seats in amazement! That was the FIRST time she ever came out of her shell. I wanted to tell you that I truly LOVE your shows. It's about the kids, not the several outfits!!!”

Please let your teachers know how impressed we are with all the children - they do a phenominal job. And to her teacher, please let her know that Sophie really enjoys her class and is looking forward to doing it again in the fall.”
