A SLICE OF LIFE
Led by DWP’s dancers, A Slice of Life invites participants to share lived experiences, stories, interests, and skills. This bi-weekly informal conversation series encourages meaningful dialogue, social interactions, and connections. A Slice of Life provides an opportunity for our online community to get to know one another better, share knowledge, and sometimes even learn new skills!
Thank you to our dancers who have shared a slice of their life with us!
