West Valley Dance Academy

Lisa is very professional and she is knowledgeable in what she is doing. She is a sweet person overall. My 7-​yo son has been going to Lisa’s hip-​hop classes for 7 mo or so, and I see that he can move; and he is not shy when dancing in public at functions, etc.
I have been taking adult hip-​hop classes there with Rony for 7 months or so, he taught me from scratch. I feel more and more comfortable doing typical moves of hip-​hop; overall it feels like I am getting the hang of it. I and my son will definitely be coming back; hopefully Rony and Lisa will be teaching there forever;)!!!

Love, love, love this place! My 7-​year old who is not the most graceful girl in the world had her first dance recital this weekend at CSUN and it was AMAZING!!! All of Miss Lisa’s patience and hard work paid off. I highly recommend this dance studio. Miss Lisa is wonderful with her students; no-​nonsense and yet, very kind and patient. Love the location, love the teaching style, love the finished product. So does my daughter!

West Valley Dance Academy is a great location for beginners and advanced dancers. Lisa is a very talented dancer and has so much passion for her career! She genuinely is interested in her students success as dancers. I have been a part of the Adult tap class for a few months and have recently joined in on the adult jazz classes. I have very little dance background, but Lisa makes the class easy to follow and has A LOT of patience for those who do not catch on as quickly (me). I have caught the end of a few classes with her younger dancers and they always have smiles on their faces and are having a great time!
I would highly recommend West Valley Dance Academy! It is hard to find a studio that offers adult classes that are affordable & fun! WVDA is both of those things wrapped up in a tiny bow!

I’ve wanted to tap dance since I was a kid… and took maybe 10 lessons when I was a teen. Now, at 58, I am thoroughly enjoying rediscovering tap with Lisa on Wednesday nights. She is patient, positive, professional and very talented. The facility is terrific with a good sized free parking lot and Starbuck’s on the corner. Even if you’ve never tapped before or haven’t put your shoes on for a few years, I highly recommend coming to this terrific, drop-​in class and getting in touch with your inner Shirley Temple or Ginger Rogers. You won’t regret it.

We’ve been so happy here! My daughter takes jazz/​Acro and loves it! The teachers are amazing and the place is nice and clean. I’ve loved watching her turn into a little dancer!

Came on their grand opening with my best friend to check out the offerings for her little girl (got 10% off for early bird registration WEEE!). It was such a cute studio and we both loved the idea of supporting local businesses. It seems this studio is owned and operated by Lisa herself which makes for the personalized experience we were looking for. My friend enrolled her girl into their ballet and jazz classes and she adores «Miss Lisa». When you watch her interactions with the little ones, it’s really obvious she has a sincere love for children, and most importantly… PATIENCE! It’s not all fun and games though because we also witnessed her actively training the kids to improve their technique and focus.
But what was in it for me? Was I merely just a spectator? NO! Adult dance classes were available I am happy to report. I have tried their Monday night HipHop with «Roni» (sp?) and it was awesome. Being a newer studio, you get a lot more personal attention. Yeah, that 2-​count back step I kept messing up? He helped me though it LOL. ALL levels welcome but beginners will especially find comfort here. I’m not exactly a beginner but it’s been long enough that I’m insecure and want a friendly attentive place :) I’d like to try adult jazz next (Tuesday nights) taught by Lisa herself.

We are so impressed with this place. My daughter is in the preschool ballet class. Miss Lisa is so great with her. My daughter cannot stop talking about her and showing off her new skills. We are so excited to grow with this new dance Academy.

This is a new spot but we’ve been very happy with it. Our young daughter loves the jazz class and somehow Miss Lisa manages to keep her attention for the entire hour. She’s always so excited to come. Plus the rates are very reasonable. Such a great find.

Miss Lisa is the so great with my 5 year old. She is patient, caring, and at the same time, she motivates the kids to do the moves with proper technique. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and is passionate about dance and teaching. Although this studio is new, I’m positive it will be a huge hit. I’m so grateful we found West Valley Dance Academy.
