Para Dance is an elegant and graceful sport involving athletes with a physical impairment that affects the lower limbs dancing in a wheelchair. Our online Para Dance classes are for solo dancers, so no partner is required.
The physical benefits of Para Dance include the maintenance of physical balance, flexibility, range of motion, coordination and improved respiratory control. Some of the psychological benefits of dance are social interaction, the development of relationships, and an opportunity to engage in a fun and friendly event.
Para Dance is a Paralympic Sport, governed by the International Paralympic Committee. World Para Dance competitions are held in Europe and Asia. Para Dance competitions are conducted in Perth.
In our online classes we teach Ballroom and Latin dances including the Cha Cha, Jive, Rumba, Samba, Waltz, Tango, Quickstep and more.
Why not join us online and have a dance with us, after all dancing is for everyone!
Dancing has given me such a sense of freedom and positivity that I would like to continue as long as I can.
