Encore Dance Costumes
Where our focus is offering dance costumes for performance and competitions or creating an ensemble for that special photo shoot.
The inspiration comes from New Zealand born, Melbourne based independent dance artist
Summer Penney
Who is currently contracted to perform with Chunky Move Contemporary Dance Company in Melbourne.
Summer graduated in 2020 from the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance. Summer also graduated from the Australian Conservatoire of Ballet, Melbourne in 2017
Our aim is to:
"provide an alternate and affordable option for dancers, parents and teachers for dance costumes"
Why the name Encore?
"because once is never enough"
