Body Image in the Dance World

We at Adagio Dance Academy want you to feel comfortable and confident with who you are. We try to encourage body positivity in our classes because everyone is different in their own amazing ways. 

We want to throw out any and every stereotype that comes with being a dancer. There is a sense of belonging when you enroll in any of our classes. Whether you are just beginning your journey of dance or you are part of our competitive ballet teams, you will receive equal attention and encouragement from our “dance family”. Regardless of your size, shape, skin tone and physical ability we are challenging present day beauty standards and promoting positivity.

“I love watching dancers perform a perfect pirouette or 32 fouettés in a row, but that pales in comparison to watching the smile on a child’s face when they feel comfortable enough to try something new.” -Jessica Miracle, Owner/Director.
