info on wheelchair dancing

[liz]

My nephew, who is 21 yrs. old, is in a wheelchair. The last couple of times I have spoken to him he has asked me to " teach him some dance moves!!" I really didn't give it much thought. I told my sister that there is a such thing as wheelchair dancing. I looked on youtube and I was happily suprised to see some of the vidoes. Does anyone know if there are vidoes to refer to on teaching wheelchair dancing? I think it would be something that he would like to know more about.

Did you search DF for the topic? A wheelchair dancer is a member of DF and has posted on the topic and posted some videos. I can't remember her name right now, but maybe someone does. I'm sure she'd be happy to share information with you. IIRC, she was giving talks on wheelchair dancing a while ago.
