Encore’s Elite is our premier competitive dance team, offering a rigorous training program for dedicated dancers ages 9-16. Dancers on this elite team commit to 3-4 days of intensive training per week, honing their skills in a wide range of dance styles.

The team is divided into two age groups: Elite Jr. (Ages 9-11) and Elite (Ages 12-16). Through focused training, dancers develop exceptional technique, master musicality, and cultivate strong performance qualities.

Beyond the studio, Encore’s Elite dancers compete regionally in various formats, including small groups, large groups, duos, trios, and solos. They also have the opportunity to compete nationally and attend prestigious dance conventions, where they can further refine their skills and gain invaluable experience.

In addition to competitions and conventions, Encore’s Elite dancers showcase their talents at prestigious events such as the Holiday Benefit Gala, the end-of-year recital, and numerous community showcases throughout the year.

*Auditions are required to join Encore’s Elite.
