Dancing Wheels: Let justice roll

Written by Tim Kershner
June 27, 2009

The dancers swayed to the music, telling emotional stories with
rhythmic movement.

Fluid and graceful, the company was like most others, except that many
of the dancers are physically disabled.

The Dancing Wheels, a dance troupe which integrates "professional
stand-up and sit-down (wheelchair)" dancers, performed this afternoon
at General Synod 27. Their unique repertoire combined classic dance
movements reinterpreted to include ? and feature ? wheelchair dancers.

In addition to traditional dance themes, the hour-long perform also
featured dances advocating social justice issues.
