Society is starving for wholesome and elevating experiences. WCDW offers a model of unity and optimism that truly brings people together. This has been our impetus since the company’s inception in 1983.

I just want to express my enthusiasm and gratitude for all that the organization has done for my daughter…my daughter has grown and matured a great deal since she started dancing with the company.

Relevate
Youth
How can communities overcome the obtrusive barriers to healthy and productive lifestyles that are threatening today’s youth?
In partnership with local schools and community organizations, WCDW’s “Relevate Youth” project seeks to address barriers in youth development while affirming and building feelings of self-worth through interactive dance programs.
This unique project can be executed in various formats to fit your group’s programming.
