TESTIMONIAL:

“As a parent of a special needs child, I am grateful for the DWOL classes and thankful for what these girls bring to my daughter.  She looks forward to the classes and you can hear the happiness in her voice when she is interacting.  The bonus part is all of the sneaky exercise and instruction following that is involved each class!  Thank you for creating this inspiring class that helps our kids feel like they can dance just like the squads they see at school. “
