I started dancing with Ms. Jennifer at local community classes and continued to dance in her studio till I was in 7th grade.
Though her teaching styles weren't particularly great (she taught by showing the moves with her hands), I can't say I didn't learn anything from her. I ended up making my high school's dance team and was an officer for 2 of the 4 years I was on the team.
Adagio was always about having fun with my friends and the awesome homemade costumes made my Ms. Jennifer's mom, but if you are SERIOUS ABOUT DANCE, you might want to consider another studio (nothing personal). I had enjoyed my time there, but once I made my high school's team, I switched studio and excelled in a rapid pace.
This is honestly a studio about people who are just looking for an extracurricular activity to do, but not to pursue it as a passion. Not sure if things have changed since I've left (which has been over 7 years), but I'm sure its still quite similar.
Hope this helps you out on your decisions. Great studio space, awesome costumes, make new friends, do it for fun and not for a career attitude, and you will enjoy this studio.
