“Adagio” — Grace in Motion, Strength in Support
In ballet, adagio is a moment of beauty—slow, intentional, and deeply expressive. But behind every adagio is unseen strength, discipline, and support.
Your generosity has been that support. You’ve helped young dancers grow in both artistry and confidence, and we’re deeply grateful.
At Sonoma Conservatory of Dance, we teach our students not just to move with elegance, but to embody the quiet strength that adagio represents. To continue nurturing this artistry in our community, we need a similar kind of support—steadfast, generous, and sustaining.
With your continued help, we can keep providing scholarships and professional-level training to our students so that they can bring their artistry to the community—through full-length performances at the historic Sebastiani Theatre and smaller showcases throughout the Sonoma Valley.
Let your generosity once again be the steady hand that lifts a young dancer into their dream.
