Causes: Arts & Culture, Dance

Mission: The mission of American DanceWheels Foundation (ADF) is to make a significant contribution to the lives of individuals with ambulatory disabilities by providing the social, rehabilitative, and competitive activity of Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin Dance to partnerships comprised of one seated and one standing dancer. This effort integrates people with and without disabilities to partake in a healthy, mainstream activity that creates the potential for a new generation of alliances and opportunities. The Foundation intends to meet this challenge by providing training to individuals with disabilities, able-bodied partners, dance teachers, and adaptive sports professionals and therapists. The ADF trademarked and validated wheelchair dance program was created based on the traditional able-bodied dance syllabus and adapted to accommodate one person using a wheelchair and one person standing. The ADF program can be accessed regardless of one's physical ability, age, or lifestyle.

Programs: Adf focused on its mission statement, continuing with more instructional programs for the benefit of both adults and children with disabilities.
