Adagio School of Performing Arts 302 West Main Street, Ottawa, IL 61350

"I’ve been attending adagios barre class on and off for the last 9 years and still get sore every time I go. Rachel always keeps the class interesting and fun. She makes a point to get to know her guests and show accommodations if you need it. It’s my favorite workout and I’m so glad we have a space like hers in our community."

"This will be our 6th year at Adagio! My daughter loves going to dance and has grown so much from the wonderful teachers. We are excited for our 2nd daughter to start this year!"

"I really dont understand why this place has such great reviews. I know of AT LEAST 6 kids that quit Adagio to attend another studio last fall. Kids that aren't in competition should not be treated like they have to be perfect. Dance should be fun, not extremely strict. I get they want to look good but they take it too far. They only allow their favorites in competition even if they are awful. They say you have to put adagio above your other activities otherwise they don't allow you to be invited to compete. I know of one dancer that missed plenty of class for her other activity and stared at the other kids during their performances, yet got invited to join the team. The teachers and owner are stuck up and kids are expected to be serious 24/7. Avoid this place at all costs."

"Such a great studio! Highly qualified instructors. They offer everything you could imagine. Parents, students and staff function as a family! Couldn’t be more happy or impressed! So glad we found Adagio School of Performing Arts! Highly recommend to anyone!"
