"Wonderfully Made School of Dance (WMSD) is more than just a place where students are taught dance moves. Wonderfully Made is about how the students view themselves. Their self-worth is in who Christ sees them as."
— Creative Director Sondra Willis Cuffie
WMSD has acquired its name from Psalm 139:14 which says,"...I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." WMSD dances only to Christian, gospel, and inspiration based music.

Creative Director Sondra Willis Cuffie doesn't just enjoy teaching Wonderfully Made students, she wears many other hats. Miss Willis is an entrepreneur, graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana, serves at her church within the Young Adults Ministry, and also serves as one of the leaders of the Greater New Orleans Chapter of the Pinky Promise Organization.
"I know that the Lord has called me and anointed me to dance," says Sondra. "Relationships will not just be built between the dancers and I, but they get the opportunity to learn who Jesus is at Wonderfully Made."
