  • Encore-Wear It Again provides a seamless way for dancers to donate their gently used dancewear and athletic gear. We partner with local dance studios to place beautifully designed donation boxes, making it easy for you to contribute to our community. Our Services What is Encore?
Encore is a community service initiative started by June Ella Hyams when she was in the 6th grade.  Beautifully designed donation boxes are housed at dance studios throughout the Charleston, South Carolina area.  Lightly used or new dancewear, athletic wear, and shoes are donated to the boxes, and once the box is near full, we collect, clean, and ship the items to those in need.

How did Encore begin?
June Ella noticed that she was growing quickly out of her new dancewear and her mother noticed she had even outgrown some dancewear that still had tags on them before she got the chance to wear them.  This became the idea of sharing these clothes with other dancers.  Dancewear can be expensive, so this program helps to ease the financial burden for growing dancers as well as putting the dancewear back into good use for their own "encore".

    The Miss America Opportunity

    The Miss America Organization provides leading scholarship opportunities for young women and promotes Service, Scholarship, Style, and Success as its core values.

    Founded in 2023 by June Ella, Encore has grown across the Southeast and internationally as a community service initiative. This June, she will compete at Miss South Carolina Teen, showcasing her commitment to service and Encore’s impact.
