We pride ourselves in creating a fun and magical environment for our youngest dancers.  Our curriculum for this age is unique and unlike any other you will find in the area.  Our tiny dancers develop a love of dance and learning that will last a lifetime!  

Our recreational classes are a fantastic way to have fun, make friends and exercise!  We offer 10 levels of instruction so there is something for every age and ability.

Our Elite team program is second to none in the state.  We took home 12 National titles this summer, and have grown our program into the best in the tri-state area.  With advanced, intermediate and novice teams- if you are ready to make the commitment there is a place for you!  Our family is close, work hard, and make memories that last a life time!  

Two great locations, Bear and Newark!  We are spreading our love and passion for dance!  Same curriculum, classes and teachers in both locations.  Bear location is in Eden Square Shopping Center on Pulaski Highway and the Newark location is in The Red Mill Square Plaza off of Kirkwood Highway!

Instructors 

Our instructors are highly trained and offer the best training possible for your dancer.  Please check out our "Meet the Instructor Page" for bios!  

We pride ourselves in offering the best training in the area, in a fun environment.  Our tiny dancers learn a unique curriculum created by Encore Dance Academy. It allows dancers to acquire a love for dance at a young age.  In doing this it sets them up for a lifelong love, and appreciation, for the art.  They learn proper technique in a "magical" environment.  Lifelong friends are made in the process, and it is always a joy watching them grow together!  After our Prekinder, Kinder, and Elementary classes, we go into our leveled classes.  We offer levels 1 through Professional.  This allows us to place dancers in classes where they are all on the same ability level as well as age group. We will never hold a dancer back due to their age.  Finally, our competitive program is the best in the tri-state area.  Our dancers are also World Class Talent Experience National Champions, and most of our teams have undefeated seasons.  Our Encore Elite Competitive Program is very demanding, and requires a lot of discipline.  It is very strict and prepares dancers for careers in the dance field.  This program is not for everyone.  If you have questions about any of our programs, feel free to email us at encoredanceacademyde@gmail.com.  Classes are offered for ages 1 1/2 through adult.
