Thread Name: BS: Dance for the Disabled
Subject: RE: BS: Dance for the Disabled
I have danced both Ballroom and Morris but was never much good at either:-( However, I am a Tai Chi teacher, although I have not practiced as such for a few years. But when I did we had people with all sorts of disabilities in the class. May be worth you investigating, Villan?

Anyroads - back to the dance. As one of our memebers had only one leg and another had a severe balance problem they performed much of the form either sitting or standing in a pretty much static position. I am sure that if we could modify our style there must be people have done the same with dance. Have you tried looking for ordinary dance groups in the area and checking whether they do routines modified to suit all abilities?

Cheers
