From cha-cha to hip-hop, wheelchair dancers take the stage in San Diego

This weekend, the Dynamic Inclusive Dance organization will hold its 17th annual fundraiser showcase. Wheelchair dancing is when a person performs in a wheelchair, also known as seated dancing.

Dynamic Inclusive Dance is an extension of the Wheelchair Dancers Organization. Both groups offer inclusive movement opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

This is the group’s biggest event of the year, and the theme is “Shine and Soar.”

Jason Rivers has been a Dynamic Inclusive Dance instructor for nine years. He said this showcase is exciting for everybody involved.

“ For them to be able to get up on stage and perform in front of a crowd is something that’s not available to people very often,” said Rivers. “So I think it's super special to have that opportunity.”
