Uniform Information
At Verdi Academy of Dance, our ballet program follows the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and encourages discipline, proper technique, consistency, and professionalism within the classroom.
Students are expected to arrive to class in proper dance attire with hair neatly secured for safety and training purposes. Detailed uniform and grooming requirements for each class are outlined in the Student & Family Handbook found in the Verdi Academy of Dance BAND Group.
After registration, families will receive a direct link to purchase the correct uniform items specific to their dancer’s enrolled class(es).
