To our Valued Families,
Stacy Cole and Jennifer Sontowski, Directors of Encore Dance Academy and Port Moody Dance, extend their appreciation and gratitude to everyone who supported our dance schools, and shared the love, memories and enjoyment of outstanding dance over the past 30 plus years. The countless memories will be cherished and always remain in our hearts.
While teaming up through Covid Miss Stacy and Miss Jen realized they shared a common goal and vision for dance. It is, therefore, with bittersweet emotion yet much excitement that we announce Encore Dance Academy and Port Moody Dance are uniting as RISE21 Dance Company.
Despite the uncertainties of COVID-19, RISE21 is working diligently on studio renovations to create a fresh bold new look and spaces to provide dancers with a safe caring environment and sense of camaraderie.
We realize change can create feelings of uncertainty. However, with the support and encouragement of our extraordinary families and faculty, we will RISE.
In the following weeks to come, new social media accounts will be created and we invite you to follow along on our new RISE21 journey. Stay tuned !!! For those of you who would like to continue to visit the EDA and PMSD platforms, they will still be active for you to check out old memories while following the new RISE21 accounts.
We would appreciate if you would take a moment to share with us some of your favourite dance stories. hop #21
