Welcome to the Team – Miss Leah Klemann!
🔥 We are thrilled to announce that Miss Leah is joining our Protégé Dance Company Faculty through our Teacher Mentorship Program!
🔥 Miss Leah will be teaching Creative Combo this season!
✨Please help me welcome Miss Leah! Let’s show her the love and energy that makes our Protégé community so special! ✨
Leah started dancing at Protégé at the age of 7, inspired by her sister’s dance recital. After her very first class, she discovered her passion for dance and was invited to join the competitive team the following year. Leah works hard to be well-rounded in many styles, including Acro, Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Pointe, Hip Hop, Contemporary, and Lyrical.
Currently a Grade 11 student at All Saints C.S.S. in the Regional Arts & Media Program for Dance, Leah also excels academically. She maintained high honour-roll status throughout Grades 9 and 10, demonstrating strong time-management skills and dedication to her studies. In Grade 8, she was awarded the prestigious E.J. Finan Award, recognizing outstanding academic achievement and effort, along with Christian fellowship among her classmates. She was also the recipient of the Mathematics Award, recognizing both her academic success in the subject and her ability to support and help others.
Leah has completed both her Pre-Professional 1 Acrobatic Arts exam and her Grade 6 Cecchetti Ballet exam with strong results and looks forward to taking her Pre-Professional 2 Acrobatic Arts exam and Intermediate Cecchetti Ballet exam in 2027. Outside of the studio, Leah has modelled for Jazzamatazz Costume Catalogue 2026 & 2027 collections. During the 2026 competitive season, she was thrilled to receive immediate placement with both 5 Star Dance Company and World Performers Canada, Inc. Additionally, she was awarded 3rd Overall Senior Solo at Dance Attack for her Acro solo.
Leah has been assisting at Protégé since the age of 11 and especially enjoys helping younger dancers develop their technique, confidence, and personal growth. Inspired by teammates who progressed into student-teaching roles, she has developed a genuine love for motivating others and helping them become stronger, more confident dancers.
This upcoming season, Leah is excited to take the next step in her teaching journey as the instructor of Protégé’s Creative Combo class. She looks forward to working with her young students, sharing her love of dance, and providing them with a safe, positive, and welcoming environment in which to learn and grow.
Welcome to the team Leah!! You are going to be a SUPERB addition to an already SENSATIONAL TEAM!
