Protègèm's aim is to support, nurture and encourage young dancer's talents and to provide them with performance opportunities. It took a lot of brainstorming to come up with our dance schools unique name. Protègè is a mix of 'protege' and 'Gemma', meaning our dancers are all 'mini' versions of their teacher. Not sure 'prote-Alison' has quite the same ring to it though! Protègèm Dance School was formed in September 2004, following the successes of Protègèm Dance Company and realising that there wasn't much dance training available in the Ewell and surrounding areas! Protègè follows the IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) syllabus for dancing exams and usually holds a few exam sessions a year. IDTA is the largest dance organisation and recognised worldwide. All teachers are fully qualified and DBS checked.
