From the choir to dance recitals

and roles in off-Broadway productions,

Kyla Maull, Georgette "Gigi" Belton and Nicole "Nikki" Nelson

are no strangers to the stage.

Growing up in New York City, their entire childhood

was spent dancing, singing and acting.

Upon relocation to South Florida it was important for Kyla

to expose her daughter to the world of the performing arts.

However after a failed search for an inexpensive program,

she realized that such an outlet, in South Florida, didn’t exist.

Rather than give up, Kyla enlisted the help

of Gigi and Nikki, and together, envisioned a place where talented children

could creatively express themselves within a safe environment.

This place would be accessible to all young people

interested in the performing arts, regardless of family income.

In 2006, Encore Performing Arts Center Inc. was born.

Encore Performing Arts Center Inc.

is a non-profit organization committed to providing

a safe environment and creative outlet

for South Florida’s youth.

Seeking passionate and dedicated youth, every year,

the founders of ENCORE take great pride in grooming children

to become future stars as well as helping them

build self-esteem, overcome shyness,increase academic scores

and most of all build and sustain new relationships within

a diverse environment.

Tiffany Hoggan joined ENCORE in 2007 as a volunteer. 

Some say she started singing before she could talk so it was no surprise 

when she came on board as Vocal Coach in 2009.

The entire team at Encore

sincerely appreciates the tremendous community support,

which continues to help keep ENCORE alive.
