About
The Encore Ballet Festival Team
The Encore Ballet Festival is a premier event dedicated to non-professional adult ballet performers, offering a unique blend of competition, classes, intensives, and celebration. Whether you are a beginner, a lifelong ballet enthusiast, or someone rediscovering the joy of dance, this festival provides a welcoming and unbiased stage to perform, compete, and grow in a supportive and fun environment. Designed for those who dance for the love of ballet, the competition allows performers to showcase their artistry and technique in front of an audience, receiving valuable feedback while competing with peers in a neutral and encouraging atmosphere.
In addition to the competition, the festival features masterclasses, workshops, and intensives led by experienced instructors, helping dancers refine their skills and deepen their connection to ballet. For former professionals who are no longer active in the industry, Encore Ballet Festival offers a special segment—either a showcase or a peer competition—to highlight their talents in a way that celebrates their continued passion for the art. Encore Ballet Festival is more than just a competition; it’s a community where adult dancers come together to celebrate ballet, learn, grow, and inspire one another. Whether performing on stage, learning in class, or simply enjoying the experience, every participant is part of a movement that proves ballet has no age limit—only passion and dedication.
