We are so excited to begin planning for the 2026-2027 Dance Season! Our staff has spent a great deal of time evaluating each student’s progress to ensure they are placed in an environment where they will thrive, grow, and be appropriately challenged. Below is a list of suggested classes tailored specifically to your dancer. When registration opens, please use this quick guide to selecting your schedule: Choosing Your Schedule: Please select one class per level that works best for your family’s schedule. Single Suggestions: If only one class is listed for a specific level, the Adagio staff believes this is the absolute best fit for your dancer’s current development and skill set. Scheduling Conflicts: We understand that busy schedules happen! If the suggested day/time truly does not work for you, we can look at alternative options. Please Note: An alternative class may be at a lower level than your dancer’s current ability to ensure they are still receiving proper technical instruction. Action Step: You can email the studio ahead of Open Registration so we can work on a different option for you before classes fill up! Our goal at Adagio is to provide a path for every dancer to reach their full potential. These recommendations are designed with your dancer’s long-term success and technical growth in mind. We can’t wait to have your dancer back in the studio with us next year!
