When we organise a fundraiser at the studio, I'm not thinking about how much we'll raise.

I'm thinking about the moment a child realises they can use their love of dance to help someone else.

I'm thinking about the conversations that happen when they ask, 'who are we dancing for?' and 'why does this matter?'

I'm thinking about the pride on their faces when they step on stage knowing their performance means something beyond themselves.

Because here's what really happens when children give back through dance:

They learn that their gifts have purpose. That joy can be shared. That they're part of something bigger than themselves.

They develop empathy, not because we told them to care, but because they experienced what it feels like to contribute.

They build confidence that isn't just about nailing a routine. It's about knowing they can make a difference.

And they create memories that stay with them long after the music stops.

The money we raise matters, absolutely. But the compassion we nurture? That transforms lives.

That's the kind of humans we're raising at Encore. 💗

Like this if you believe dance can build more than just dancers.

To all the dads, granddads, stepdads, father figures and special people who show up for our dancers in all the ways that matter…

The ones who’ve mastered the ballet bun (sort of), know exactly which shoes go in which bag, sit through every show with the biggest smile, and have become experts at untangling leotard straps… 😂

You show up. You cheer the loudest. You drive to rehearsals, wait in the car, find the missing shoe and somehow always make it work.

But more than that, you’re giving your little dancer something truly special, the freedom to chase their dreams, the confidence to believe in themselves, and the memories they’ll carry long after the music stops.

Thank you for being there for the big moments, the little moments and everything in between. Your encouragement, patience and unwavering support help make their dance journey so meaningful. ❤️

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Encore Dance Company.

Our dancers are so lucky to have you. Your support means more than you know. 🩷

After 35 years teaching kids, I know the difference between performing and giving.

There's something magical that happens when a child realises their talent isn't just about them. When they understand that what they've learned in the studio can light up someone else's day, make a difference in their community, or bring joy to people who need it most.

I've watched our dancers perform at aged care homes, watched their little faces concentrate as they shared what they love with residents who clapped and smiled and remembered their own childhoods. I've seen them dance at community events, seen them realise that their confidence, their joy, their artistry can be a gift to others.

Perfect technique matters. Beautiful lines matter. But what matters more is raising children who understand that their gifts are meant to be shared, not hoarded. Children who learn early that using what you're good at to help others feels better than any medal or trophy.

Because dance isn't just about steps. It's about building hearts that want to give, not just receive. It's about nurturing the understanding that we flourish when we help others flourish too.

That's the kind of dancer I want to help shape. The kind who walks into the world knowing their confidence was built not just for them, but to lift others up too.

If that resonates with you, I'd love to have you here. Follow along for more on how we're raising dancers who give as much as they perform. 💗

One of the things I care about most is making sure the children who walk through our doors understand that kindness isn't just something we talk about, it's something we do.

Applause for a Cause is our way of turning empathy into action. They're not just dancing, they're witnessing what it looks like to show up for others.

They see their teachers dedicating time. They see their friends working together. They see their parents cheering them on. And they understand that their effort, their presence, and their joy can make a real difference to someone else's day.

It's one thing to tell a child to be kind. It's another to give them the opportunity to feel what that kindness creates, to see the faces of the people they've helped, and to know they were part of something bigger than themselves.

These moments shape who they become. They build confidence, yes, but they also build heart. And that's something I hope every child at Encore carries with them long after they leave the studio.

If you've been looking for an activity where your child can flourish, feel welcomed, and learn what it means to be part of a caring community, we'd love to welcome you.

Follow along to see our mission in action💗

Friday September 25th is about so much more than a quiz and a raffle.

It's about coming together as a community to support something that truly matters , helping children with disabilities access the sports, activities and opportunities that every child deserves.

Our Encore performance Company dancers will be performing live, there'll be brilliant raffle prizes, and honestly, it's just going to be a really lovely night out with people who care about the same things you do.

Every ticket purchased means another child gets the chance to experience the joy, confidence and sense of belonging that comes from being part of something bigger than themselves.

And I can't think of a better reason to get dressed up, have a laugh, and spend a Friday night doing something that actually makes a difference.

Tickets are available now through the tryBooking link sent out through email , grab yours before they're gone, and I'll see you there. 💗

let's make this a night to remember.

I spent five years teaching kids to nail the choreography before I realised I was teaching the wrong thing.

For so long, I believed that perfect technique was the goal. Clean lines, sharp timing, flawless ex*****on. I thought if the steps looked right, everything else would follow.

But then I started noticing something. The kids who could replicate choreography perfectly weren't always the ones who lit up when they danced. Some of them looked hesitant. Some seemed afraid to get it wrong. And the ones who weren't naturally coordinated? They were starting to believe they weren't good at dance.

That's when it hit me. I wasn't teaching dance. I was teaching perfection. And perfection doesn't build confidence, it steals it.

So I changed everything.

I started celebrating effort as much as achievement. I made space for children to explore movement without fear of getting it wrong. I learned every child's name and made sure they knew they belonged from the moment they walked through the door. I created classes where joy came first, and technique grew naturally from that foundation.

Because here's what I know now: when a child feels capable, seen, and encouraged, they don't just learn to dance. They learn to believe in themselves. They build resilience. They make friends. They discover that trying is more important than being perfect.

And that transformation? That's everything.

If you want your child to experience dance in a way that nurtures their confidence, not just their coordination, follow along. I share what intentional, joyful teaching looks like every single day. 💗

I used to think giving back meant donating to big charities or sponsoring events I had no real connection to.

But then it hit me: what if giving back could be doing what we already love, just with intention?

Dance has given me everything. It gave me my first studio, my career, lifelong friendships, and the chance to watch hundreds of children discover their spark. It seemed only right that dance could also give back to our community.

So this year, we're launching something new: Applause for a Cause.

Our students are creating a show, not just to perform, but to raise funds for a local charity close to our hearts. They're learning choreography, building confidence on stage, and discovering that their talent and effort can make a real difference.

It's not about how much money we raise (though every bit helps). It's about teaching children that they already have something powerful to give. That what they do in the studio matters beyond the walls of the classroom. That joy and purpose can live in the same place.

This is the start of a new tradition for Encore, and I can't wait to see where it takes us.

Stay tuned for more details!

"Together we're unlimited"

23 different ways my Midvale dancers build confidence every day.
Every day these moments happen naturally:

1. Learning a new combination and getting it right on the third try
2. Helping a younger dancer find their spot in the circle
3. Choosing their own creative movement during imaginative play
4. Saying hello to every friend as they walk through the door
5. Asking a question in class without hesitation
6. Celebrating a classmate's progress with genuine joy
7. Trying a challenging step even when it feels hard
8. Performing their routine in front of the group
9. Making a mistake and laughing instead of stopping
10. Suggesting a new way to interpret the music
11. Remembering the sequence without prompting
12. Encouraging a friend who's feeling nervous
13. Taking a leadership role during warm-ups
14. Expressing how they're feeling through movement
15. Noticing their own improvement from last week
16. Volunteering to demonstrate for the class
17. Working through frustration and trying again
18. Sharing space with kindness during partner work
19. Holding a balance longer than they thought they could
20. Creating their own choreography during free dance time
21. Walking taller when they master something new
22. Joining in even when they're the newest dancer
23. Leaving class proud of what they accomplished

This isn't just dance. It's watching children discover what they're capable of, one small moment at a time.

And it happens because every class is intentionally designed to nurture these experiences.

Save this if you're looking for an activity where your child genuinely thrives. 💗

I once worried my little one would never truly belong; now look at them.

This is the message I hold closest to my heart, and it's one I hear from parents often.

You drop your child at the door on their first day, hopeful but cautious. Maybe they've struggled to settle in other activities. Maybe they're shy, or just need a little extra encouragement to feel safe.

And then, week after week, you watch something beautiful unfold.

They start skipping through the door instead of hesitating. They light up when they talk about their friends. They ask if it's dance day yet. They come home buzzing with stories about what they learned, what they tried, what made them laugh.

That shift, that sense of belonging, doesn't happen by accident.

It happens because every child is welcomed by name. Because teachers celebrate effort as much as achievement. Because classes are intentionally inclusive, joyful, and nurturing. Because children are encouraged to try, to express themselves, to support one another, and to know that this is a place where they belong exactly as they are.

Confidence grows when a child feels seen, safe, and celebrated.

And that's what we build here, every single class.

Over 100 families have already enrolled their children at Encore Dance Company. Comment BELONG and I'll send you all the details about our classes.

Here's how to know if a dance class will actually build your child's confidence (without the overwhelm):

1. Check the enrolment process first. If it's confusing or full of hidden fees, that's a red flag. It should be clear and straightforward from the start.

2. Ask about showcase events. A healthy studio celebrates progress in a way that feels joyful, not stressful. Our November 15th showcase is exactly that – a beautiful moment where every child shines.

3. Notice how they talk about your child. Do they see them as an individual? At Encore, every child is valued and encouraged from the moment they walk through the door.

4. Look for community, not just classes. Your child will flourish when they feel like they belong, and you'll have peace of mind knowing they're somewhere supportive.

5. Trust your gut. If a place feels welcoming and intentional, you're probably right.

This isn't just about finding a dance class. It's about finding a place where your child can grow and your family feels supported.

Save this for when you're ready to explore classes💗
