We are grateful for the two and a half decades we have spent growing and evolving, and for the community, we've built along the way. Here’s to another 25!
50 years of teaching experience equips Francis Patrelle with the vision to inspire, and encourage, aspiring dancers. While many have become professional dancers, others have become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and more. Regardless of their path, Dances Patrelle nurtures and supports the confidence within these young dancers to become the accomplished individuals they are today.
Please help us continue this tradition.
