Enjoyed this competition a lot last year, things seemed to have changed though. Always ran about 30 minutes behind schedule and personal relationships between judges/directors and studio owners/dancers. staff backstage is very nice.

It was nice to see something other than lyrical/contemporary rewarded. However, the judging was inconsistent. While I do appreciate the show running on time, they crossed the line into rushed. I dislike the lack of category awards. The awards ceremony is loud. It just seemed to be a give us your money and now hurry up and leave. Once again - another competition that seemed to favor the large studios, i.e. the ones that spent the most. We won\'t be back.

Very good except for the fact that there is NO ONE else in the division 3 level so we are just competing against ourselves! And they don\'t really care about sportsmanship because this one studio there was SUPER rude and they didn\'t care they sat there and watched them do it! But overall very good competition, nice scheduling, and fair judging.

We have been attending Encore since our studio started competing 5 years ago and it has always been a great experience. Caron runs a very professional event and the judges are extremely qualified. A few things I would do to make it better would be a shorter awards ceremony and have separate commentary but other than that we always come away feeling like the staff really cared about each and every performer. The critiques we receive are always very useful. I highly recommend giving them a try. Your dancers will come away having a great experience.

Presenter seemed very sweet. New city this year San Diego. Horrible venue. Fallbrook high school. I was most disappointed by the lack of judging the judges did in terms of level placements. There were only three elite dancers that were honest enough to dance at that level. It was quite obvious that a high majority of the level two dancers should have competed in the level three catagory. The Judges did not recognize and address this issue, yet instead applauded San Diego for such great talent. I\'m so tired of studio\'s placing there dancers down so they will place in the over all. Get a clue! And let\'s start a real competition going. I see this all the time it drives me CRAZY challenge your dancers already

This comp struggles to attract division 3 participants and every time we go we end up competing against ourselves.

Enjoyed how it was ran, everyone in the staff was very kind and helpful. Ran on time, very fair judging. It was nice to see the judges back farther than just right up front. I loved watching all the performances so much more with the dancers looking out at up at the audience not just dancing for the judges!

Karen does a great job at staying on time and running a good competition that scores appropriately. The only bad thing is the award ceremonies are pretty long. This year, they had one lasted well over an hour with 5 and 6 year olds up on stage. It was WAY too long for those little ones.

Not sure what to think. The audio critiques were tough because the judges talked at the same time, on one recording. No special awards were given, and the awards we\'re read off too quickly. The schedule was messed up and we ended up waiting 30 minutes for one dance to go on. It ran very early.

My studio attended Encore for the first time this year. It is very different from any competition we\'ve ever been to, but in a good way. They ran on time, in order, and Caron and her staff were awesome!! One thing that I really loved was the judging. Most video critiques from other competitions are very short, and they don\'t really elaborate and sometimes makes it difficult to understand what they\'re talking about. At Encore, the judges talk on the video critique throughout the entire dance and notice every single detail. It helps tremendously!! I loved this competition and look forward to attending again in the future.

Encore is a standard for our studio and I\'ve always been impressed with the professional manner in which it\'s operated. This year was no different. However, some accommodations were made for girls in our area that had prom- which I think is great! But, because of that, the junior groups danced late into Saturday night. My daughter\'s last dance was at 10:30 at night and awards were going on past 11:30. Then, Junior soloists came back at 7 Sunday morning. That\'s a bit tough for a 9 year old! (and an old mom) The judging was tough, but we can handle that. I highly recommend this competition.

Love love love this competition. Very professional, everything ran on time and every studio was assigned owned dressing room! The only reason I didn\'t give it five stars was because I thought judges were looking for only lyrical routines both for groups and solos. Felt they didn\'t give other types of dance a chance.

In my daughter\'s 11 years of competing this is the only competition I have seen that goes EXACTLY in the order printed. This means they actually put thought into the order, taking costuming issues into consideration PRIOR to the event. The staff is so professional. This year was our first year to attend this competition and I wish we had gone years ago! In regards to the awards, the judging is harder than other competitions. This is a good thing, however, because there is nothing sillier than an awards ceremony where 95% of the entries receive the same award. What is the point of a COMPETITION if everyone is scored the same?

Loved the Encore competition. Professional, yet kid-centered. Positive experience and my students had a blast. The weekend was a good length... Long enough to feel like a real competition (lots of studios) but not so horrible that you wanted to poke your eyes out each day. My only beef is that the judges critiques make me feel crazy- three people talking at once is just tough on the ears. We will definitely go back to this one.

Major disappointment - biased toward larger studios who attend their finals. Judging not consistent and their turn rule is ridiculous and doesn\'t solve the problem of studios placing more advanced dancers into lower divisions. Could not pay me to attend this competition again.
