A Message from ENCORE & Flourish Organizers:
We’re so excited to announce that Flourish is returning this year! We truly appreciate all your support and contributions last year. This open-styles battle for youth and adults welcomes everyone to come out and join us by taking the battle floor or enjoying the show as a spectator.
Flourish was created as a way to give back ~ a space for the next generation to experience the same energy, growth, and love that was poured into us over the years. The battles we’ve traveled to, the mentors who shaped us, and the lessons we’ve learned all helped inspire this event.
​
ENCORE has been our home and training ground for many years, and it’s a huge part of who we are as dancers and organizers. While some of us have expanded our journeys beyond ENCORE, we still carry its impact in everything we do. We’d be deeply honored to have our ENCORE family, friends, and fans come out to support us again this year.
If you’re looking to support in additional ways, we’ve included more info below the flyer.
Follow us on Instagram: @_fflourish_ for more details, judge announcements, updates and more!
Thank you for your continued support & we can't wait to see you there!
Sincerely, Flourish Team (Learn more about us below)
