The Village Dance Academy - Kelowna, British Columbia

This is my daughter’s third year at The Village Dance Academy, and we couldn’t be happier! She absolutely loves going to dance each week—it’s truly the highlight of her schedule. Over the years, she’s built strong friendships with her classmates and has grown so much, not only as a dancer but in confidence and teamwork.

The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive, kind, and passionate about what they do. They create such a positive and welcoming environment for the dancers. We’re so grateful to be part of the Village Dance Academy family!

What a phenomenal studio ! My daughter has been dancing here since she was 3 years old - she is now 13. We left for a couple years in the early days to join friends but sure happy we returned. Best decision hands down ! The calibre of the teachers and their choreography is next level. The best in all of Kelowna in my opinion. I’ve had many family and friends attend our shows and competitions and they often compare it to watching Broadway shows. They can’t believe the elite quality of all the dancers. We are very happy with everything and everyone at the Village. My daughter is extremely happy here and well supported in her dance goals. Kudos to Sam the owner for creating such an inclusive studio!

Our daughter has been dancing at The Village Dance Academy for 7 seasons now, and it has truly become her second home and family. The instructors are not only incredibly talented but also kind, supportive, and dedicated to every dancer’s growth. The studio creates a positive and inspiring environment where kids build confidence, friendships, and a deep love for dance. We are so grateful to be part of this amazing community!

I’ve known the owner Sam personally for over 14 years, watching my granddaughters flourish to their full potential as dancers under her guidance. Together we incorporated the Ryan Turgeon mental health award, awarding dancers who exemplify mental health support to one another. Sam has always encouraged our mental health initiatives with an open heart. Can’t wait to see my youngest granddaughter succeed in the years to come. Sam, the owner of the village, is a true community champion. ❤️💪

Our family’s experience at The Village spans over 14 years, first with Reflections and now with The Village Dance Academy. I’ve witnessed parents and children form lifelong friendships, and I’ve seen children facing adversity blossom in an environment that truly feels like family. The Village is a cornerstone of Kelowna, not only supporting youth within its walls but also giving back to the community through various philanthropic efforts. Our three daughters have gained friendships and values that will guide them through adulthood and beyond.

This is a haven for children and an incredible dance community. The teachers of this school are not only extremely skilled but also attentive and care very much for all students. They offer so many programs for all levels. Feel very lucky to have found our dance home and have our daughters in their competitive program.

Words cannot express how much it means to be apart of this Village! Sam and her staff go above and beyond for every student they teach. The Village provides a safe, inclusive environment for dancers of all ages and abilities. My daughters are in there 4th season here, and I wish we had made the move to this studio earlier than we did.
