ABOUT OUR STUDIO
Encore Studio of Dance, Tumbling, Music & Theatre is the leading recreational performing arts school in the Greater New Orleans area.
We are located where River Ridge, Harahan, Metairie and Kenner intersect, just a short distance from boutiques, restaurants and cafes. Our 3,500 sq ft facility features two studios for music and two for dance – with floating dance floors that reduce fatigue and help prevent injuries. We also offer a large, comfortable waiting/reception room with desk staff and large TVs to watch video feeds of classes.
Our focus is on confidence, skills and performing, not competition. Choose from ballet, tap, jazz, singing, piano and more, and learn from fully qualified instructors. We also offer an exciting summer camp program.
If your child loves to move to the music and perform on stage, you have come to the right place. We provide excellent opportunities to showcase skills on stage throughout the year.
