You’re warmly invited to come and enjoy an evening of mentorship and live jamming featuring DJ Dawghouse (mentor) and DJ Bass Pro (mentee).

This is a relaxed, interactive session where experienced guidance meets hands-on practice, a great opportunity to listen in on a spontaneous back‑and‑forth jam as mentor and mentee trade ideas and mixes.

Expect a mix of demonstration, constructive feedback, and collaborative mixing: DJ Dawghouse will share insights from years behind the decks while DJ Bass Pro applies those lessons in a live setting. 

Whether you're a beginner, in between, or a professional, LWTR has something for you. With the belief that it's 80% mental and 20% physical, we start with the mind. What we are contributing to this power of the pen is, we are exploring the mentality of the athletes who paved the way on and off the court. We will be watching film and comparing and contrasting Kobe and Michael and all of our players that became the great players and people we know today.

We are open to ages 1st grade to 12th grade—open to athletes who want to be a part of the conversation, anyone who has the capacity to dissect the game.

Join Tara Dixion's African dance, a joyful, vibrant celebration of rhythm, resilience, and shared culture.

Take a break and join Weekend Warrior Recess, where we'll reconnect with joy, movement, and community through classic games like Double Dutch, 4 Square, Jacks, Duck Duck Goose, and Red Rover. No athletic ability or experience is required—just bring your playful spirit and get ready to laugh, move, and recharge.
