About

Operating as a California Arts Council grantee since its founding in 2008, Wheelchair Dancers at 930 W Washington St #3 provides adaptive dance instruction across Mission Hills' 92103 ZIP code. The 501(c)(3) organization pairs wheelchair users with standing volunteer partners for ballroom, Latin, hip-hop, and Bollywood fusion routines, utilizing studio relationships with spaces like BalletCenter Studios. All classes run at no cost to participants and follow six- to eight-week progressive curricula taught by instructors who adapt choreography for individual mobility levels. An adaptive K-12 school program introduces hip-hop dance to students with physical and developmental disabilities, with showcase performances staged at venues including Center Stage Children's Theatre. The organization's highest-profile engagement is its annual fundraiser showcase, a multi-act production featuring contemporary, Bollywood, and ballroom routines choreographed for mixed-mobility ensembles of participants aged four through ninety.
