We have been at Villa west for 3 years now and are so happy with this studio! The teachers are so knowledgeable and wonderful with our daughter. It’s such a great atmosphere filled with positivity! The kids get a chance to be a part of learning dance/acro, being active and building friendships. We can’t say enough good things about our experience there! 10/10 recommend!

Villa West is the BEST studio!! My daughter has been there for 5 years and we can not be happier!! All the staff/teachers are amazing and always so friendly. Walking in each night the first thing you see is their smiling faces and happy happy kiddos ready to dance!! We are so thankful to be apart of such an amazing family💜 …
Andrea Martin
This is our sixth year with Villa West and each season I am so so glad to be with this studio. Every teacher is so invested in their students’ growth both as athletes and individuals. They nurture a positive and uplifting environment and my girls have found a true home within VWPA.
Amanda Lindemann
We have been at Villa West for 6 years, I can’t say enough great things about the studio! We took a year off to try different sports and my kiddos and I both knew that our hearts were missing the studio! The staff is always professional! They are great with all of the kiddos. The environment is welcoming and safe! But I also have to compliment the kids that attend there, especially the company and Acro gym team kids! They are one big family!! I love seeing them help each other grow, be so welcoming, and on breaks just play and be friends together!! I don’t know that VW will ever know how thankful we are for our dance family!!

The care and compassion shown by the teachers and staff at Villa West is something that continues to make the studio our home away from home. Having a studio in our community that focuses on letting kids be kids while providing a foundation in dance and acro that will continue with them for a lifetime, is truly a blessing.

Villa West is simply the best. Madeline has been attending classes since she was 3 and we have never felt more at home (she’s 9 now!). The teachers are all wonderful and welcoming and the atmosphere is delightful. This is our first year on the competition team and it has been nothing short of amazing. Watching her confidence and skill grow each week makes this mommas heart so happy! Thank you to the staff for making our experience the best. Can’t wait to see the competition team in action in the spring!
Casey Breig
Amazing dance studio. The staff is kind and always smiling. My daughter has learned so much in the last 3.5 years. She loves going and has made many new friends.
Annamarie Rewal
Wonderful, talented, and caring staff — a great school. They support their dancers as individuals, and also teach great teamwork. Very much a family, with open and welcoming arms to new dancers. Miss Jenny is amazing, but all the teachers are great. A variety of staff too, with different specializations and focuses. Well rounded curriculum makes this school available to everyone.
Sara Finocchio
The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic! It feels like family at the studio. Friendships are made. Everybody encourages each other. It’s exactly what I want my daughter to see from older students and staff.
All of the teachers are fabulous as well. They are encouraging and teach students in such a way they flourish with their own style.
My daughter loves going to dance and I love taking her to a studio that cares for each student!
Rebekah Avery
