About this studio
My name is Michelle Ritenour and I am the owner and founder of Encore School of Dance or "ESOD" as we call it around here. I started the studio in 1994 on a simple principle that we have stayed true to over the last three decades - we are "More Than Just Great Dancing"!
So what does that mean? It means that at a baseline we provide excellence in dance education. Our teachers are qualified and our curriculum has inspired confidence in thousands of students; placing students on every local dance team as well as college programs.
However, we are MORE Than Just Great Dancing! At ESOD, dance has lasting value because dance lessons are life lessons. Dance meets imperative needs for social-emotional skills, mental well-being, and physical health and provides quality friendships and role models. And, THAT is the greatest investment a parent could make in their child. I don't only share that as a dance teacher but as a mom of two myself.
