Encore School of Dance and Gymnastics is located at 209 South 16th Street in Aurora. Our 4000 square foot facility features a dance studio with professionally installed true sprung dance floor with marley flooring. Dance is an activity that requires a lot of jumping which may put stress on bones and joints. Most dance footwear does not provide support so the best way to prevent against injury is choosing a studio with sprung marley flooring. In our state of the art facility we also feature up to date gymnastics equipment, tumbling floor, in ground trampoline, surround sound systems, and fun and safe tumbling shapes for children.
