Miss Cassidy’s favorite Adagio value is Belong. “I considered my fellow dancers growing up as my friends, but at the end of the day I didn’t truly feel like they accepted me and that made feeling like I belonged to the studio difficult. At Adagio, it is overwhelming how much the dancers and teachers encourage and believe in themselves, and others and that value is tremendously meaningful not just at the studio but in day-to-day life”

Parent Testimonials
“My family loves Adagio! The family atmosphere is wonderful. Jessica is the most accommodating owner/instructor. Our daughter looks forward to every Saturday morning to go to ballet with her. Adagio has found the creativity with their teaching techniques. It took us a couple tries in this town to find a dance studio that actually cares about the fundamentals of dance before vanity. They make dance beautiful again!”
Kristen, Mom of Lillianna
“My daughter Arianna loves going to dance at Adagio. We started in the mommy and me class and now she is in the bugs preschool class. She loves all the songs they sing for each stretch and move. She sings them at home and loves learning the names of the dance moves and is excited to show people what she has learned. She can’t wait to be in another dance show.”
