Durante Verzola's first choreographic work, A Light Exists in Spring, was chosen by Lourdes Lopez to be performed in Miami City Ballet School's 2014 Workshop. Since then, he has choreographed several works for Pennsylvania Ballet II, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, School of Pennsylvania Ballet, Kansas School of Classical Ballet, Peabody Dance, Ballet Conservatory of South Texas, and MANNA's Shut Up & Dance. Mr. Verzola was selected as the inaugural choreographer to lead Miami City Ballet School's first Choreographic Intensive during the Summer of 2017, and was invited to participate in CPYB's ChoreoPlan 2017.

His work has been described as "sharp and witty...so vibrant it is almost like a celebration of classicism and vitality with non-derivative balletic language," by Philadelphia Dance, and as "carefree, bringing show biz airs and ballet with a jazz bounce to the stage," by Dance View Times. The Philadelphia Dance Journal praised him as "a choreographer on the rise, with a gift for designing space and succeeds at directing moving bodies [with] a sophisticated blend of theatrical flair and carefully crafted movements." Explore Dance wrote, "for a 20-something choreographer, Verzola startled with his inventiveness via straightforward balletics. [His] piece challenged with silky troupe configurations, unfussy classical artistry, and the fluency of phrase variations."

He has served as a guest faculty member at Miami City Ballet School, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Peabody Dance, Philadelphia Dance Academy, Ballet Conservatory of South Texas, and Kansas School of Classical Ballet.

Mr. Verzola is from Lansing, Kansas, and most recently a dancer with The Suzanne Farrell Ballet. He began his training with Marisa Paull, and received his formal ballet training from the Kansas City Ballet School and Kansas School of Classical Ballet. At the age of 16, Mr. Verzola left home to train with the Miami City Ballet School on full scholarship. During his time there, he performed several ballets, including George Balanchine's Allegro Brilliante and Serenade. He has attended summer courses under scholarship at the School of American Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet School, and Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. In 2014, he was invited to join Pennsylvania Ballet II. Verzola joined The Suzanne Farrell Ballet in 2016. His repertoire includes works by Balanchine, Robbins, Wheeldon, Keigwin, and Petipa.
