ADAGIO is an international meeting dedicated to the promotion of dance. It seeks to bring together dance students and teachers in an atmosphere of sharing and commitment.

It includes a competition that is divided into two categories:

Amateur - Young dancers who practice up to 5 hours a week in dance;

Pre-professional - Young dancers who practice 6 or more hours of dance per week

In addition to the competition ADAGIO includes:

• Performances;

• Masterclasses;

• Training for teachers;

• Thematic talks.

Degrees in dance

We promote dance degrees information in national and international dance schools. This information is open for consultation at thematic stands during the ADAGIO.

For the teachers

Training sessions are held for teachers as well as a get-together that is only open to teachers from participating schools.

Get-together for students

There will be an ADAGIO party, a social event for the young participants with a guest DJ in a reserved lounge at the partner hotel (in Fátima).

Masterclasses

The masterclasses will be mostly in the mornings and will offer the possibility of contact with members of the Jury and guest dancers/choreographers.

Physiotherapy and medical support

The well-being of the participants is fundamental to the organisation of ADAGIO. During the meeting, a physiotherapy and medical support service will be available inside the theatre.

ADAGIO SEEKS TO BRING STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TOGETHER IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF SHARING AND PASSION FOR DANCE.
