“ I love how in class you always do new moves, new steps and learn new music. I have made a lot of friends at Adagio” Ellie H.

“ Adagio motivates students to dance and have fun through dance” Kathy G.

“ Really saw growth in my daughter and true love of dance blossoming towards ballet has inspired by the freedom teacher gave her to use her own moves/choreography” Stephanie W./Lucia W. (Student)

“ Loved this instructor for our daughter and this type of dance. It allowed a lot more freedom not found in ballet within most of the same elements at its roots. Lucia flourished and found rhythm and a smile with wonderful teacher Ms. Rachel T.” Stephanie W./Lucia W. (Student)

“ Ms. Evelina is really nice and when she teaches me I have a lot of fun” Angelina K.

“ We love her kindness and cuteness with the students and the flexibility on many ways” Catherine H.
