Ballet
A very technical form of dance and creates the foundation of technique in all other styles of dance. Discipline and focus are required when participating in this form of dance. Encore Dance Studio offers ballet classes from age 4, up to our Major Ballet levels.
Jazz
The most popular and enjoyable style for most dancers. This is a style of dance that can be performed to popular music or cabaret and jazz styles. Our jazz classes are very versatile as it allows students to both develop technique and have fun.
Tap
A style of dance which is performed wearing shoes fitted with metal plates. Students learn how to combine the technique of using the ball, heel, and toe to create rhythmical sounds. Encore begins teaching Tap from a young age, because we believe in developing a comprehensive understanding of this technique. Tap is one of the most enjoyable styles.
​
Hip Hop
A style of street dancing which is usually performed to Hip Hop music. It includes a wide range of styles including popping and locking. At Encore Dance Studio we begin teaching hip hop from the age of 8 years. We are extremely lucky to have Miss Lennee Graham as our specialist Hip Hop teacher.
Contemporary
Has become a very popular style of dance. It is an expressive style of dance which allows the performer to explore many emotions. At Encore students commence classes at age 8 years and begin in our Modern Ballet class before moving onto the more controlled and technical contemporary style. Ms Miranda Johnstone is the Encore specialist Contemporary teacher. She is very talented in her field and brings her wealth of knowledge and experience to Encore.
