See How Villa West Performing Arts Inspires Growth and Joy
Discover why choosing dance classes at Villa West Performing Arts can give your child a more balanced, enriching, and development focused experience when compared to traditional sports.
Traditional sports often focus heavily on physical performance and competition, which can take attention away from important areas like emotional development, confidence, and self expression.
Team sports sometimes require tryouts or selective participation, which may leave less experienced children feeling discouraged, left out, or hesitant to continue.
A strong focus on winning can overshadow the importance of teamwork, enjoyment, and positive sportsmanship, which may create pressure for young learners.
Large teams often limit how much personalized guidance coaches can provide. Some children may miss important support that helps build confidence and skill development.
Dance at Villa West Performing Arts supports physical fitness, creativity, emotional expression, and personal growth in a fun and supportive classroom environment.
Every child is valued and supported. Our classes build self confidence and help each dancer feel successful, no matter their starting skill level.
Dancers learn teamwork, discipline, listening skills, and focus while enjoying movement and music, building strong habits that support success in school and life.
Our instructors provide personalized attention in a nurturing setting, helping each child grow in respect, self discipline, and overall confidence both inside and outside the studio.
Creative Movement for Physical Development
Early childhood is when children begin to understand how their bodies move and respond to the world around them. Our Preschool dance program uses ballet, tap, and acro tumble to help young dancers build this awareness in an age appropriate and engaging way. Each style strengthens different physical skills.
- Ballet teaches posture, balance, and body control.
- Tap sharpens coordination, rhythm, and timing.
- Acro tumble builds strength, flexibility, and spatial confidence.
Children learn these skills through simple exercises, imaginative play, and movement patterns that feel exciting rather than intimidating. Our instructors guide dancers through activities that support strong motor development, encourage healthy movement habits, and introduce the first steps of dance technique in a playful and encouraging environment. This early foundation prepares children for more advanced skills as they grow and helps them feel capable and confident in their own bodies, both in dance and daily life.
Building Focus and Concentration Through Dance
Young children learn best when they are active, engaged, and having fun. Our Preschool classes use movement based learning to strengthen focus, listening skills, and task completion. Ballet introduces simple positions and movement sequences that encourage children to pay attention to what comes next. Tap teaches dancers to listen closely for beats and respond with clear, intentional sounds. Acro tumble helps children stay present as they learn how to move safely and follow step by step instruction.
This balanced structure helps children practice staying on task without feeling pressured. Each activity is short, playful, and designed to keep their attention while guiding them toward greater self control. These early focus building experiences support success in school routines, group activities, and everyday interactions. As children begin to understand how to follow directions and stay engaged, they gain a sense of accomplishment that motivates them to keep learning and participating.
Nurturing Perseverance and Confidence
Learning dance at a young age teaches children how to try, improve, and believe in their own abilities. Ballet introduces movements that may take practice, giving dancers a chance to work through small challenges one step at a time. Tap encourages repetition and patience as children learn to match the rhythms they hear. Acro tumble allows dancers to try new skills and physical challenges in a safe setting where progress is celebrated.
Our teaching approach helps children develop perseverance without frustration. Instructors offer support, reassurance, and clear steps that help children understand what effort looks like and why it matters. Small successes build self esteem and show dancers that improvement comes from practice, not perfection. This mindset is valuable far beyond the studio. Children begin to approach challenges with curiosity instead of fear, and they gain confidence in their ability to learn new things, even when they feel difficult at first.
Fostering Teamwork and Sportsmanship in Young Dancers
Preschool dancers are beginning to understand how to be part of a group, and dance provides the perfect setting to practice these skills. Ballet teaches dancers how to share space and move together with awareness. Tap encourages children to listen to one another and enjoy creating rhythms as a group. Acro tumble helps dancers learn cooperation and trust through simple partner or group based activities.
Our classes highlight teamwork, kindness, and positive social interactions so every child feels seen and supported. Dancers celebrate each others efforts, take turns, and learn how to encourage their classmates. These experiences help children feel connected and confident in group settings and prepare them for school, sports, and community activities. By learning to shine together, dancers discover that their individual strengths become even more meaningful within a supportive and inclusive group.

Villa West continues to exceed my expectations that I had when I initially enrolled my super shy, very quiet 4 year old into their Acro classes over a year ago. Every single instructor and coach has been more than accommodating to my sweet girl. They are patient, kind, happy, joyful and always welcoming. They have been so energetic and encouraging that my daughter has requested to enroll into dance so she can perform ON HER OWN at recital! AMAZING! The confidence they build up in each athlete is something that they should feel so proud of!! They make every athlete (and this momma!) want to achieve their highest potential while keeping safety and everyday life obstacles at the forefront of minds and allowing these kids to be kids! Villa West is, hands down, the best gym and I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone!!!
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💜 …
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 with Villa West for 5 years and counting. I initially chose the studio based on the credentials and experience of the instructors but have since learned this studio is so much more. The owner prides herself on making sure that Villa West teaches more than dancing. These kids are learning teamwork, character, and the value of hard work. All of the instructors make sure that the music, choreography, and costumes are age appropriate and that makes this studio stand out. This studio helps to reinforce values that are important to me. While we love to earn high scores and trophies, the instructors make sure that the dancers work to achieve their personal best and keep pushing to become better. This studio also allows dancers to participate in the level they are comfortable with from regular classes with a recital in the spring, to performance groups which go to a couple competitions, to dance company with accelerated classes and competitions. Miss Jenny continues to bring new talented instructors in and they have all become like family. She also continues to try new things and finds new ways to give kids opportunities to try new things out. We even love how involved she makes the parents feel. My girls love their Villa West family.
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 teachers at Villa West are truly the best! They are patient and kind. They give the kids the opportunity to be themselves and reach their potential with encouragement and understanding. We feel included by our coaches and have had a really great experience. A good learning experience for our family, and one that I am grateful to be a part of!✌️❤️
Villa West puts Family First! 💜
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.
Miss Jenny and Miss Alley are so great. My granddaughter has learned so much. Definitely recommend
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!
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.
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.
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!
Villa West is a wonderful place to take your children to learn many forms of dance and acro. The instructors/coaches are amazing and care for each child as if they were their own. They are always smiling and full of encouragement. They instill hard work, proper technique, dedication, and perseverance into each student. And everyone is taught to lift up their fellow classmates and cheer one another on. The seasoned dancers are great role models to the younger kids and it’s so sweet to see the older girls making those bonds. I am so happy that my family is a part of Villa West!
We love Villa West!! The staff is phenomenal and my daughter looks forward to her class every Wednesday since we started. I’m so glad we chose this school for her dance classes. Check it out!
We love Villa West! I can see my kids’ skills and confidence growing in just two months of classes.
