From the reviews
My daughter is a high-level artistic athlete. Dance and tumbling are supplemental to her sport. We have tried every dance studio in La Salle County and nearly gave up on finding a quality studio that focuses on proper technique.
Just wanted to thank you for working so hard to make Adagio a happy, loving, and positive place for our girls to grow, learn and dance! They just love coming every week, and adore all of their teachers. Adagio Parent
I grew up with Rachel and have always had incredible respect for her skill and knowledge of dance and performance. I just recently started attending the barre class she offers through the studio and it's absolutely incredible!
I can't say enough about my dance experience here. Nothing can compare to what I learned at the studio. And I'm certainly no professional dancer. Dance, especially at Adagio, taught me to respect and love my body when my peers were too hard on themselves for physical "flaws". I learned hard work.
Your first ballet class at Adagio School of Performing Arts
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
