Protégé Dance Company

What an incredible week of hosting Acrobatic Arts Teacher Training Courses at Protégé! 💜✨

From M1 & M2 to Aerials & Back Handsprings, Back Tucks & Back Layouts, teachers from across Canada joined to learn, grow and further their education in safe, progressive Acro technique.

We were especially proud to have so many dancers participate as student demonstrators — including 14 of our very own Protégés! Watching them learn, demonstrate and be part of such an inspiring week was incredibly special.

The Course Conductors and their A-Team demonstrators were exceptional — knowledgeable, generous and inspiring from start to finish.

We are so proud to follow the Acrobatic Arts Inc curriculum and examination program at our studio — learning from experts in their field and following a progressive approach that ensures our dancers are developing safely, correctly and with strong foundations.

Our Acro Teachers; Miss Lexie, Miss Kelsea and Miss Christine are all Acrobatic Arts certified teachers.💜

What a week of learning, inspiration and exceptional Acro education! 🤸‍♀️✨

“Teaching Humans First” ✨💫

At Protégé, we believe the greatest lessons extend far beyond the dance floor. 💜

We’re not only teaching steps, technique and artistry — we’re teaching humans first. Creating an environment rooted in positive role models, integrity, honesty and respect is at the heart of everything we do.

Because when children feel safe, supported, valued and inspired, they have the confidence to learn, grow and become the very best versions of themselves. ✨

More than dance. It’s how we grow together. 💜

Our Primary Classes (3-6yrs) 💜

Our Primary Division, designed especially for dancers ages 3–6, is about so much more than learning dance steps! 💜

Through movement, music and age-appropriate instruction, our littlest dancers have the opportunity to:

💜 MOVE — developing coordination, balance, strength & body awareness

🩷 GROW — building confidence, independence, focus & classroom skills

🧡 BELONG — making friends, expressing themselves & discovering the JOY of dance!

We believe these early years should be filled with encouragement, imagination, friendship and FUN — creating positive experiences that help little dancers learn, grow and shine! 🌟

Classes in:
• mini munchkins (pre-dance: ballet and jazz)
• creative combo (ballet, jazz and tap combo)
• acrotastic (acro dance)
• itty bitty hip hop and musical monkeys

💜 Lyrical! 💜

Where movement meets music and emotion, lyrical dance gives dancers the freedom to express themselves, connect deeply to the music, and bring stories to life through movement. ✨

Through lyrical training, dancers develop self-expression, musicality, and artistry — skills that not only help create beautiful performers, but confident and expressive dancers. 💫

Whether dancing recreationally or competitively, lyrical offers a beautiful opportunity to feel the music, tell a story, and simply DANCE! 💜

Now go enjoy those last few weeks of summer! ☀️

See you all soon! 💜
