Rise 21 Dance Company - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

Our family was fortunate to join the Rise 21 dance family 2 years ago.
Our 2 daughters felt so welcomed since day one. Both directors Miss Stacy, Miss Jen, the Office staff and their teachers/choreographers are absolutely amazing. Words are not enough to describe how supportive, caring, patient, helpful and professional they all are. Plus they have a lovely family of dancers.
Thank you so much Rise 21 for providing our girls a healthy, positive and family oriented environment where they can feel good about themselves and around others. Both of my daughters has grown so much in their skills and confidence.
They love her classes and all the fun and variety of events they make and attend throughout the year.
They also love that every style of dance is celebrated equally.

I recommend 100 % Rise 21 dance Company to those families in search of not only dance classes, also a place for your child to grow with discipline in a safe, fun and loving environment according to your needs and goals.

We've been with the Rise 21 Dance Company since Encore and PMSD Merged, and before that at PMSD since my daughter was in preschool. I’ve watched my daughter mature as a dancer with such texture, nuance and strength that I (as a non-dancer), could have never guided her to. The immensely talented teachers and choreographers have brought this artistry out of her, thank you! Beyond the teaching, the culture, and the family feeling cultivated at the studio by our two directors, and all of the staff and teachers is what I value the most. This dance family has seen us through more than our share of life challenges, and they have our back ❤️. I can’t wait to see what this year brings & also I’m trying to hold on to each moment as long as I can.

My daughter loves to dance. Encore/Rise has given her every opportunity to succeed in her passion. I'm grateful to the owners, Miss Jen and Miss Stacey, for their dedication through good and bad times. Let's Gooooooo!

Rise up!!!!!! It's showtime soon. We will Rise to the occasion.

My daughter was so excited to start her first ballet class after waiting for months, but unfortunately, the experience was far from what we expected. Despite her enthusiasm, she was completely ignored by the teacher, and left the class in tears. When I addressed this issue with the management, their explanation was that since my daughter is starting from scratch, the teacher behaved this way. This is unacceptable. If the school is unwilling to properly support beginners, they should have informed us at the time of registration. Instead, their lack of communication and care has left my daughter feeling discouraged and deeply upset.

My daughter has danced here for many years. She has enjoyed every moment at the studio. We are lucky to have the most professional teachers and best dance friends.

My daughter has been dancing at Encore Dance Academy for 10 years. The teachers are excellent and the training provided has allowed my daughter to improve year after year. Not only does the studio provide excellent training but also fosters a good work ethic, great cooperation skills and encourages leadership of younger students all in a very fun and caring environment. Also, when I have questions or concerns regarding scheduling or invoices, the office staff is more than happy to help. Great studio!

What a lovely place to bring my five year old. She loves learning ballet. I will most definitely sign her up for more classes. Thank you for being amazing.
