Every Monday evening we have our lessons at

We welcome everybody who wants to enjoy music and dance, moving on the music. Are you a wheelchair user and would you like to see if you might like dancing? Or are you an able-bodied person (i.e. partner of a wheelchair user?) and would you like to dance as a combiparter or may be like to learn dancing ìn the wheelchair?
Feel free to have a look at one of our lessons or visit an event.
Please contact the
instructor about this.

During the lessons we try to pleasure all participants.
So we learn ballroom dances, like slow waltz, quickstep and tango;
Latin American dances like samba and rumba, but also some
old fashioned ballroom dances like the St. Bernards Waltz and Veleta.
Apart from that we whon't forget some country line dances and some fashionable dances.
No, you can dance in every wheelchair; no matter if this is a manual wheelchair or an
electric wheelchair. Of course dancing is going more easy in a light and easy turning wheelchair
(a dancing or sport wheelchair as we call this), but this is no obligation at all.
Contact the instructor
for more information about criteria for a wheelchair for dancing.
We dance in two different groups:
| First group | starters / less experienced dancers | 19:15 to 20:45 hrs |
| Second group | (more) experienced dancers | 20:45 to 22:15 hrs |
We do duo and combi dancing.
Duo dancing: two wheelchair users form a couple, if necessary assisted by a third (and fourth)
person pushing the wheelchair user.
Combi dancing: a wheelchair user and an able-bodied person form a couple.
Apart from this we also dance some solo dances (like party dances).
In January traditionally we organize our New Year's Party. Invitations are sent to the
participants, donors and sponsors, but also dancers throughout the whole region.
Seasons end is usually time for the medaltest. All participants are invited to show their
dancing abilities to a judging-committee. This whill be honoured (if they are successful
of course) with a certificate and a pin.
Ask us for more information.

VWS as well). And since 1998 she uses to be the instructor of this dancing group.
