Wheelz In Motion Dance

Wow! What a hot week it’s been!

Temperatures in Maidenhead, Berkshire where we are based, have hit 30c every day this week.

But it hasn’t put us off meeting and training for the Dance UK “British Grand Prix” that is being held in Manchester, just one week away.

We’ve been working hard, but as our Director of Performance shows, we still have time to enjoy a little bit of downtime and a giggle! 🤭

We’re quite sure that when the weather is hot and sunny, the ‘rules change slightly….

that

1. left becomes right,
2. upstage becomes downstage
3. and freestyle is the key word to success!

Not so sure our DoP, affectionately known as “the Boss” agrees 🤪🤣🤪!

Loving the Samba dances here to one of favourite tubs - ‘Havana’

Lovely examples of wheelchair duo, combi and class 1 Powerchair dancers- fabulous!

First final of the day... debutant duo & combi👨‍🦽💃🥳

We would like to wish everyone taking part in the “Danish Wheelchair Dance Cup” the best of luck in this weekend’s competition!

The first final of the day 👨‍🦽💃🥳

All of us at Wheelz In Motion Dance would like to wish everyone who is celebrating today and over the next few days, joy & happiness with your family celebrations!

Did you know that this week, Volunteers Week 2025? 😍

A UK-wide campaign to celebrate and recognise the contributions of volunteers.

We know at In Motion Dance group just how valuable volunteers are.

They're often the unsung heroes in sport, but their contributions, efforts, support and energy have a huge impact - we literally couldn't do it without them! So THANK YOU 💜

A special “shout out” to all our volunteers & supporters, who give freely their time, knowledge, experience and energy to help every one of our wheelchair dance group participate in their chosen activity.

Our list is huge, but includes:

*Instructors,
*drivers,
*wardrobe mistresses,
*make up artists,
*digital social media team,
*venue assistants,
*seamstresses,
*psychologists,
*fitness advisors,
*nutritional advisors
*physios
*medics

Without their help, we wouldn’t be able to run our group on a weekly basis, and provide an opportunity for those with disabilities, to enjoy dancing together, whilst meeting up, having fun doing activity that helps keep fitness, mobility and their health & wellbeing.

We truly are so grateful to each & every one of you! 👏👏👏

Thank you ☺️ & Happy Volunteers’ Week! 🎉🎉🎉
