Founded in 2003 by Gail Tusan Washington, the Always Wanted To (“AWT”) Dance Company is still dancing strong! AWT is a community-based celebration of wellness and positive energy. We dance for ourselves, primarily, but will perform for seniors, special events, and other groups as a joyful form of community service. AWT began as a collaborative project which emphasized getting and staying fit through a combination of cardiovascular exercise.

Nearly 17 fun-filled years later our program has grown to consist of dance technique workshops (primarily jazz, modern, and a little hip hop)  and many performances including our very special 10 Year AWT Dance Company Tour. Our participants run the full gamut of ages, backgrounds, energy levels, and sensibilities. Yet, all of us are devoted to this sisterhood and take our commitment to AWT very seriously. Over the years, as AWT Dance Company members, we've made new friends, had lots of laughs, hugs, and supported each other through many life changes. The AWT divas have been living out their dancing dreams.
