Our School is a "dream come true!" Adagio Ballet is who we are. We make every day and every class count, and we constantly strive to make our program better. Inside the classroom, we pass knowledge in a structured, consistent, and positive way, along with joy to last a lifetime. We set our goals high, and we celebrate achievements – and have a blast along the way!
Philosophy
Our Ballet, Jazz and Tap programs for students ages 2 1/2 through adult focus firstly on instilling a love for the magical world of dance in our students and capturing their natural enthusiasm for movement and music. As our students grow and mature, we transition into a more serious study of proper dance technique and artistic development that will prepare them with the poise, discipline and confidence they need as dancers. You will find that our unique program is designed to both educate and entertain students, always keeping in mind the special place that dancing holds in their hearts.
The quality of Adagio Ballet's instruction is one of our greatest assets, as well as the personalized attention that students receive in classes with a maximum enrollment of 8-12 students.
At Adagio Ballet, we continue to build upon our vision – to passionately teach and guide our students and their families through the fine art of Ballet and dance. Once your student joins the Adagio Ballet program, you will understand why our school instills "grace and memories for life!"

History
... It all started in August 2003, when Svetlana Marintcheva came up with Adagio Ballet's name. There had been talk of opening our own studio over the years, but it was that August afternoon when Adagio was born.
Since then, it has been a very, very busy year. A year full of new experiences, joys and difficulties, that all brought Adagio Ballet so close to us - it became a part of our small family and grew into a vision - the vision to passionately teach and guide our students and their families through the fine art of ballet and dance.
Day by day we see this vision come true and we feel we owe you all, who joined us, our gratitude for all your support and confidence in us.
Now that we are ready to start, we wish to start with a promise. The promise to be involved in the upbringing of as many young and talented individuals as possible. To give them our best and help them achieve their best - to give them "Grace and Memories for Life."
Thank you all!
Svetlana and Hristo Marintchev
