Director/Owner
My name is Jess Warfield and I am the Director & Owner of Academy of Dance Westlake Village. Dance has played an integral part in my life and has shaped who I am today. I opened this studio so that dancers from all walks of life could be given the freedom, knowledge, and encouragement to express themselves in a nurturing environment free of judgment. I have been fortunate enough to have found faculty members who are not only exceptional dancers and educators; but truly exceptional people who genuinely care about the growth and well-being of each and every one of our students. We are all equal here at ADWV regardless of whether or not you take 20 hours of dance a week or are just starting out with your very first dance class. I genuinely believe that dance can benefit the lives of all who participate and I am honored to be given the opportunity to provide such a safe place to create, inspire, and explore our passion for dance together.
Academy of Dance Westlake Village has accomplished many milestones in its short history through hard work, dedication, and the continued support of the students, parents, fans, and families. Here are a few of the awards ADWV has been honored with over the last 5 years.
