Last night was the last of our sessions with the Cannock Wheelchair Dancing Group at the Cannock Chase Youth Club.
The previous week we had a fantastic time watching... and learning... some of their dances. It was the first time for most of the young people to experience dancing in a wheelchair and it caused great excitement. I got to use Sally's chair and got a teeny insight into the delicate and exact nature of her particular chair's centre of balance. Easy to tip it is! The great news is that two of the memebrs of the Youth Group went along to the Wheelchair Dancers' session this week! Result!
So last night most of the Youth Group were out at the panto.... oh no they weren't.... (couldn't resist!) and so inspired by watching the patterns they make during their dances, we presented them with the choreographic task, The Grid.
We were very impressed by the group cohesion and creativity. We are currently working on a video that will be uploaded shortly.... watch this space!
