Who Said You Can't Dance

(above: still from documentary)


This documentary by David Block shows that wheelchair users, whether athletically mobile or not, can learn to dance with a standing partner. Whether the wheelchair users choose to dance competitively or not, the activity puts them in a world without limits. They were taught to believe that their disabilities would limit them, and now doing something that they thought they would never be able to do exposes them to a world of possibility. "Who Said You Can't Dance" counters the myth that wheelchair users are helpless and incapable of leading active lives. This documentary illustrates that dancing is fun and inclusive and easy...and that standing is not a prerequisite for dancing.
