Hello and welcome to Protégé Performing Arts!
This studio is a dream come true for me and I can't wait to share my passion for dance with each of you! It is my hope that Protégé becomes a second home for our students. I have such great memories as a young dancer at my home studio and I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with generations to come by creating a safe space for them to learn, grow and make lifelong friends!
I began dancing at 7 years old and haven't stopped since! I have trained at renowned studios throughout Southern California and studied under highly skilled teachers and choreographers. They nurtured my passion for dance through many years of classes, performances and competitions. Their impact on my life was so profound that I was inspired to become a teacher myself and I have been teaching and choreographing for the past 19 years! My choreography credits include Disney music videos, commercials, musical theatre productions, studio competitions and countless recitals! I also love to perform and feel lucky to have danced around the world for many different choreographers in a variety of shows and concerts. I have also found a passion for video editing as I have been cutting for Disney Home Entertainment, Universal, HBO and Lionsgate for over a decade.
Here at Protégé we consider our students family and we can't wait for you to join us!
