My daughter joined Encore age 4, hated being separated from Mummy and a little shy. Now age 9, I absolutely credit Miss Helen/Encore for helping build her confidence through love of dance in a wide range of genres. Now she wouldn't miss a show, loves being centre stage and can't get her away from the studio!
Classes provide structure and disciplines which I deem to be vital. Going through the dance exam processes have help her understand the importance from an educational side also and something not to be feared.
Opportunities to mix with all age groups, such a great and close group of girls, she has made friends for life!
My daughter has been going to Encore for just over a year now and she absolutely loves it. She has made so many new friends of all ages and has since joined further classes within the school. The encouragement she gets from the teachers and fellow students has brought on her confidence along with her dancing skills.
My 2 year old daughter started dancing with Miss Helen at Encore shortly after her 2nd birthday, we're about 4 months in now and she absolutely loves going, she gets so excited on a Saturday morning to go dance and see Miss Helen and her friends! The young dancers that help out are also fantastic with the little ones! Fab teacher, fab class and would highly recommend!
"My daughter has been coming to Encore Dance Studio since she joined the 'Boogie Babies' class at 6 months old and has loved it ever since! I've watched her confidence and love for dancing grow over the last 4 1/2 years, so much so that she constantly puts on dance performances at home, practicing everything she has learnt in class! This is very much testament to Miss Helen who makes the classes fun but with the right balance of discipline! She has also developed some lovely friendships within her classes too.
My 5 year old absolutely loved Easter school, she came home every day telling us all about what she had been up to from learning special Easter dances, playing games, dancing with the big girls and crafting. She came home with some fabulous bits she had made and she was so proud of her creations. Thanks Miss Helen it was fab and we will be back!!
Encore is an amazing dance school. My daughter attends three times weekly and would go everyday if she could. I cannot speak highly enough of all the dance teachers. They are always trying to advance their students whilst maintaining a friendly, supportive and encouraging environment.
As well, as Encore providing weekly dance classes. Miss Helen also runs amazing holiday workshops. Ruby really enjoys attending these workshops and says they are exciting and fun.
She says that she feels as though she is a part of a dance family has Miss Helen and the older girls (Royals) make her feel so welcome. She has recently attended the Halloween workshop and loved every minute of it. She enjoyed dressing up, making crafts, dancing and most of all she enjoyed making and eating Miss Helen's amazing spider biscuits.
I highly recommend Miss Helens workshops as Ruby has grown in confidence and made lots of new friends from attending them.
Choosing to send my daughter to Encore has been the best decision by far, she loves it and is very good for her. Thank you all so very much
Harley started with Encore just 18 months ago.
She started as a nervous, very shy little girl, who didn't mix well and kept herself to herself, but she had a passion for dance.
Over the last 18 months she has developed and grown into a super confident young lady. This is down to the super guidance and support from Miss Helen and her team.
Harley has grown so much in her dancing, and she doesn't care where she is - she just dances, on the high street, supermarket, in the park, on the beach.
In her words "she was born to dance"
On seeing this, her sister, Frankie, wanted to try dancing.
She enrolled with Encore, and has developed herself massively. Frankie is making her own friendship group, and constantly learns.
We now have dance offs at home, and the arguments and banter to follow!!!
