Petite Protégé/Protégé

Do you have a young dancer who LOVES dance and wants MORE?  We will be assessing students this summer for our Petite Protégé and Protégé classes.  These advanced, invitation only classes will give dancers extra time in class, further challenge them and serve as a stepping stone to the Relevé Dance Company!  

Petite Protégé

  • PreK and Kindergarten students
  • Students will take a Petite Protégé ballet and tap combo class and must also take an Acro Dance class.
  • This is an invitation only class. If you would like your child to be evaluated for Petite Protégé, please email Cheryl Morris, Director of the School, of Dance at cheryl@artworksacademy.com
  • This level does NOT go to dance competition.

We offer a lot of sections of the other required classes, so please visit our School of Dance page to find the times that work best for your child.

Dance encourages good habits.  Children learn the importance of time management and honoring their commitments. They learn other skills such as following instructions, cooperation, accountability, and preparation.
