We are very proud of all our teachers and students at Virginia Academy of Dance! Every class is a special part of the school and together is what makes VAD a team!
Dancers should show up to every class and rehearsal in the specific uniform for that level or class with their hair done and the correct shoes. Attending class with the incorrect dress code for 2 weeks will lead to a note, 3 times will lead to the dancer not being allowed to dance.
If you have any questions or issues with dress code
