WVDC Senior Spotlight - Joel🌟🩵

Congratulations to our senior team member Joel, who graduated from Adrian Wilcox High School. Joel began dancing at 2 years old, and although he has trained in various styles, tap is his all time favorite. Joel's standout WVDC memory was being cast as Prince Eric in WVDC's production of The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid is Joel's favorite nostalgic movie and earning such a big role in both casts was extremely exciting for him.

In addition to dancing at WVDC, Joel also participated in sports throughout his childhood. More recently, Joel took an interest in photography and became on the the high school's yearbook photographers, while also serving as his high school's Student Life Editor covering school events from rallies, to homecoming, theater productions and school dances.

We are excited to see Joel broaden his horizon as he begins school this fall at De Anza Community College to pursue Law Enforcement..

WVDC Senior Spotlight - Ramy🌟🩵

Congratulations to our senior team member Ramy, who graduated from Archbishop Mitty High School. Ramy began dancing at five years old with hip hop being his favorite style. One of Ramy's best memories was when his WVDC family came to see his performance in a sketch comedy show. For him, his teammates showing up to enjoy a night of laughter demonstrated their support of him not just as a dancer, but as a whole person.

In addition to his time at WVDC, Ramy participated in many clubs, was an avid soccer player, a member of the admissions team and performed sketch comedy. We are excited to see Ramy begin his next chapter this fall at Santa Clara University's School of Business to major in Marketing.
