The not-for-profit group teaches wheelchair Ballroom and Latin Dancing.  Wheelchair dancing integrates people with and without physical disabilities and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and ability levels. American DanceWheels created the first American style wheelchair dance syllabus, Wheel One™. The organization promotes wheelchair dancing through educational seminars and performances in dance studios, schools, and rehabilitation facilities across the country.
