History, Rules and Judging
History of Wheelchair Ballroom Dancing
The art of wheelchair dancing was born in the UK in the late 60s. A rehabilitation centre in Scotland was teaching people how to operate and manoeuvre their new wheelchairs and it soon became evident that the movements could be done to music.
Rules
Dancing on Wheels features six couples competing against one another for a place at the Wheelchair Dance Sport European Championships.
Judging Criteria
The judging of a couple begins from the moment the couple enter the dance floor and ends only when the music stops. The judging criteria consist of the following principles: harmony; music; movement; choreography, presentation and charisma.
