WVDC Senior Spotlight - Hayden🌟🩵:

Congratulations to our senior team member Hayden, who graduated from Pioneer High School. Hayden began her dance journey as an 18 month old tiny tot and although it was her last style to add, hip hop became her favorite. In addition to dance, Hayden kept busy as a volunteer with the YMCA Science Camp as well as the local school where her mother is an educator. Competing at nationals and spending quality time with her teammates on the beach afterwards are some of Hayden's favorite memories during her time with WVDC.

We look forward to seeing Hayden begin her next chapter at California State University San Marcos to study Psychology.

CONGRATULATIONS to you Hayden! We love you and we are so PROUD of you🩵🩶🤍!!!
