We Need Dance Buddies!
We’re looking for volunteers to serve as Dance Buddies this season!
Buddies help our dancers feel comfortable, stay focused, participate in class, and most importantly, have fun.

No dance experience is necessary. Just bring a positive attitude and a willingness to help!

Help Us Grow Our Dance Program
We’re also looking for volunteers who can help us advertise and market the WLTG Dance Program and introduce it to more athletes and families in our community.
Have marketing experience? Know a great place to promote the program? Have an idea that could help us reach new families?
We’d love to hear from you.
Contact:  Jennifer Cruz / Amanda Montgomery

🌟 HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF WLTG
As Without Limits Team Galaxy continues to grow, we want our members, families, volunteers, coaches, and supporters to have more opportunities to get involved and help shape what comes next.

We are inviting members of the WLTG community to express interest in joining one of our committees.
Committees provide an opportunity to share your ideas, talents, experience, and time in areas that help WLTG continue providing great sports, arts, social activities, and opportunities for our athletes.

Whether you have a particular skill to contribute, an area you're passionate about, or simply want to become more involved, we’d love to hear from you.
