Everyone can shake their body. Even in a wheelchair. Does this come as a surprise? Then, listen up because everyone should dance if they want to.
Wheelchair dance includes partners made up of one wheelchair user and one standing member; which is called Combi-style dance. If you're in a wheelchair, consider switching to your power chair for the evening! Of course, it's also possible for two wheelchair users to dance together, officially called Duo-dance. Style includes everything - from the Waltz to the Rumba to the Jive. You can even take part in group formation dancing, where 4 to 8 couples dance in choreographed arrangements. Whether you're in a wheelchair or not, everyone can have a blast dancing.
Wheelchairs dancing or adaptive dancing as it is also called is growing rapidly in popularity and has been in existence for more than twenty years. There are many different forms. Sometimes it's a matter of two people doing their own spontaneous "thing". If the man is a wheelchair user his partner may sit on his lap and they dance seated. Then there is also line dancing when everyone executes pre-arranged moves or there is partner dancing with one or both participants in wheelchairs
Wheelchairs dancing also referred to as adaptive dancing and can be coupled with an able body dancer. Think of the possibilities from networking with your local dance school students and teachers, high school volunteer groups and senior volunteer groups who love to dance. The Yellow Pages lists all kinds of dance companies who you could collaborate with to provide instruction and also bring their students to entertain and instruct your residents. The American Dance Therapy Association has Dance Movement Therapist in many states.
