​We are marking the anniversary with a full weekend of classes, lecture-demonstrations, performances, and a celebratory bash. Dance alumni spanning two decades will return to teach and perform alongside current members of the W&L Repertory Dance Company in a special, curated performance led by Artistic Director Jenefer Davies, who founded the program in 2006.
