Wdc will be closing Monday March 16-March 27 to follow the requests of social distancing to protect our community and the communities we are all a part of.
We will reassess then and hopefully open up March 28, but as you all know, we don’t know. Classes are happening tomorrow so if you want to get your dance fix, wash your hands and come on in. Hopefully we can bring some fun and online classes in some way. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay hopeful but feel your feels.
