American DanceWheels Foundation is an artistic non-profit organization that trains individuals with disabilities, their able-bodied partners, ballroom dance teachers, and therapists how to Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin Dance. American DanceWheels has created the first American style wheelchair dance syllabus, Wheel One™, which is currently being implemented in dance studios and rehabilitation facilities across the country. Wheelchair dancing integrates disabled and able-bodied individuals in general recreation as well as competitive venues. This activity crosses the boundaries of age, gender, and physical ability and includes individuals using manual or power chairs with varying levels of ability. American DanceWheels promotes wheelchair dancing through educational seminars and performance, so that this method of wheelchair dancing can expand and be enjoyed by people in all communities.
