What is the Pro:tégé Program?
The Pro:tégé Program offers dancers the incredible opportunity to travel, assist, and train with industry leading choreographers and master instructors on KAR’s National Convention Tour. Our unique Pro:tégé Program provides an immersive experience for dancers to grow their skills while gaining hands-on industry experience.
After attending our workshop and an audition, dancers are selected from every convention city on tour to be Pro:tégé Performers. These dancers become eligible to audition for the Elite Pro:tégé Program, an unforgettable, leveled up experience for your dancer! Every step of the way, from the workshop, to the audition, to assisting on the convention tour, KAR Pro:tégés work with mentors who prepare them for successful professional dance careers.
You won’t want to miss the opportunity to work with sought after choreographer and creative director Nancy O’Meara! Learning from this award-winning, seasoned professional is an unparalleled opportunity advantageous to any aspiring dancer. Dancers in this program will make invaluable connections with some of the industry’s biggest names, landing them in meetings with top agencies who represent artists like Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Nickelodeon just to name a few!
