Seminars for individuals, professional dance teachers and therapists are held so that this method of wheelchair dancing can be taught to people using wheelchairs in all communities.

Sit Down and Dance

We offer social dance classes at our studios in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Connecticut, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Canada and the U.K. Additional studios are planned. We even offer private dance classes for wedding couples! American DanceWheels is also available for performances at your school, organization, or facility. Our performers employ the language of dance to break down the social barriers that exist between people with disabilities and the able-bodied world.

Everyone Can Dance

ADF teaches ‘American Style’ dancing where the male leads regardless if he is standing or seated in a wheelchair. We focus on social dancing and are not driven by competitions although individuals can progress to competitions if they choose. If you can move your wheelchair and take direction you can dance. Both individuals who use either power or manual wheelchairs, full or part-time, are encouraged to participate.
