Anyone going? I'll be there observing and learning from the O2CM folks in preparation for our chapter competition (http://www.dance-forums.com/showthread.php?p=517827#post517827).

The Special Olympics Ballroom Dance Events looks well put-together.

Reading through it, I understand that if both partners are disabled, then they compete against other disabled couples - and there is a separate category for an individual disabled dancers to be partnered with someone without disability.

I hope this gets some attention.

Please keep us informed.

Thanks, Reb. And yes, you understand correctly. Unified Sports (http://www.specialolympics.org/Special+Olympics+Public+Website/English/Compete/Unified_Sports/) is a kind of a division of Special Olympics that combines approximately equal numbers of Special Olympics athletes and athletes without intellectual disabilities (called Partners) on sports teams for training and competition in a variety of sports. Our competition will have a traditional Special Olympics division and a Unified Sports division.
