The Adagio curriculum is designed to provide young dancers with a joyful transition from the world of magical fairy-tale dances to the fine art of classical ballet. We have created a unique ballet curriculum, based on the Vaganova method of ballet, that uses the natural physical, mental, and social development of students as a guide for introducing the art of dance.

As students grow, they naturally begin to dance as a form expression and imagination. Adagio captures this enthusiasm and incorporates it into our ballet program for young students. As our students mature and their bodies develop strength, we transition to a more serious study of ballet technique that will prepare them to be both confident and technically proficient dancers and artists. Our advanced students have years of experience as performers and dancers and are well-equipped to continue their study at both the collegiate and professional levels.

We aim to teach our students in a way that will engage their minds, bodies and spirits by incorporating different teaching methods in our classes, such as educational games, improvisation, peer interaction, artistic interpretation of literature, and music and rhythm games. Another great strength of the Adagio program is the number of performance opportunities (through parent demonstration days and recitals) available to our students, which develop confidence and poise as our dancers perform in front of an audience.
