From the reviews
Verdi Academy of Dance is incredible. My daughter absolutely loves it, she loves Veronica as her teacher. We are so pleased that the emphasis of the school is on developing the students as people, not just as dancers.
i danced at this place for almost 11 years and it was amazing. the teachers are great and so are the students. it’s a wonderful place to be i only stopped going because i moved otherwise i’d still be there for sure!! love it there :)
Veronica Edwards is AMAZING with children and young dancers—kind, patient, and an excellent instructor. We’ve tried out all the studios in town over the years and Verdi is the best HANDS DOWN!
Your first ballet class at Verdi Academy of Dance
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
