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.
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.

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!
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!!
