Sports Dance for wheelchair users
Following my piece yesterday about dance I have now been told that BBC3 is launching a nationwide search for wheelchair users to take part in a Dance Sport competition.
Wheelchair Dance Sport is a popular and highly competitive discipline on the continent. But in Britain we are lagging behind. It’s time to get Britain back where we belong in Wheelchair Dance Sport.
Our Wheelchair dancers will be recruited via a nationwide search and will be paired with a semi-professional dancer. Together they will compete in the “Combi” dance event, where each couple will be made up of one sitting and one standing dancer.
The winning couple will go on to take part in an international wheelchair dance sport competition. So if you use a wheelchair and think you’ve got what it takes to be the best, we want to hear from you.
Please contact the organisers on 0207 428 5752/5755 or at wheelchair.dancers@fevermedia.co.uk
Entrants will need to be available for the selection process in May, training in June and for the 5 week filming period in July. The winner must be able to travel to an international competition in Europe in October.
