Canada DanceSport

About Us:

WHEEL DANCE is a federally incorporated Canadian non-profit that provides subsidized social and competitive Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin dance classes to wheelchair users and their able-bodied friends, family and community members. WHEEL DANCE is the lead organizing body for Wheelchair DanceSport in Canada. By creating and supporting communities of Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin dancers, WHEEL DANCE hopes to enable competitive activity and recognition of the sport by the Canadian Paralympic Committee, with the goal of building a Canadian presence for Wheelchair DanceSport internationally. WHEEL DANCE organizes and runs subsidized wheelchair dance classes, workshops, performances, and demonstrations and has plans to organize national competitions and teacher training workshops.

About Our Classes:

We provide engaging and fun dance classes designed to introduce social and competitive Ballroom and Latin Dance to individuals with ambulatory disabilities and their able-bodied partners. Non-wheelchair using friends, family, and local community members are encouraged to participate. All ages and abilities are welcome. If you can move your wheelchair in a controlled way, then you can dance! The classes, each an hour in length, cover the basic elements of partner dancing, with an emphasis on basic patterns, turns and timing, feeling comfortable moving across the dance floor, and having fun. Partner dancing increases coordination, strength, endurance, posture, range of motion, and confidence. Join us to discover the physical, social, and psychological benefits of partner dancing. Performance and competition opportunities are provided to those interested.

Location: York Region and various locations across the GTA. All facilities are fully accessible. Please contact us for a class near you.
