American DanceWheels is proud to announce that we have developed the first accredited course in Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin Dance in the United States. This course was made possible through a $10,000 Quality of Life Grant from The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. This program premiered in February, 2008 and is developing new seated and standing wheelchair dancers every semester.
This semester, classes are held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons beginning in February.
