• Your student should arrive at Kenmore Middle School in costume and makeup 45 minutes before show time. Please see the performances tab of our website to confirm your student’s performance time.

• Your dancer’s hair should be in a secure ballet bun for the performance, unless otherwise specified by your teacher. For tips on how to create the perfect ballet bun, please watch this YouTube video !

• Upon arrival, students should go to the auditorium to sit with their class.

• The auditorium will open to the audience 20-30 minutes before the performance begins; we ask that attendees wait outside the auditorium until staff have opened the theatre.

• Please limit guests to three per family. This will assure that each student will have family members present as well as provide a comfortable situation for our guests.

• Due to the high volume of Winter Concert participants, parking at Kenmore Middle School will be limited. We encourage you to carpool with family and friends to the event if possible.

• There will be a florist on site if you are interested in purchasing flowers in celebration of your dancer’s performance.

• Taking photos in front of the curtain and flash photography during the performance are strictly prohibited. You may only record with viewfinder.

• Please respect the theater space. It is very important not to touch the curtain, or any other theatrical devices.

• Students who are enrolled in Saturday classes will not have class on the day of the Winter Concert.

• At the end of the show, parents should pick up their students from their seats in the auditorium.

Thank you for your understanding, please do not hesitate to contact us with questions. We look forward to seeing you there!

Kiara is one of our dancers who will be featured in Joffrey Ballet’s “The Nutcracker.”

We are very proud to announce that members of the Adagio Ballet and Dance family have been invited to perform with the Joffrey Ballet Company in their production of The Nutcracker this December at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts! The dedication and hard work that these dancers have put into their training has granted them an opportunity to perform with a professional dance company! We are incredibly proud of these dedicated students and are positive that this will not be the last time our dancers will be gracing a professional stage. We encourage all of our students to support their fellow dancers and engage in this professional performing arts experience. Performances of The Nutcracker will be held November 27 – December 1, 2013 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. Congratulations and best of luck to the following dancers:
