                          ******************************

As we told you last week we are going to tell you a little about our Wheelchair dance sessions here at Marquisway.

We have some photographs and we have also tried to upload a short video clip. The clip may not play on council computers due to not having the correct software installed on some of them, sorry! 

Wheelchair dance is a dance course led by Fully Qualified WDSA dance instructors, Nicola and Laura. "We are currently developing routines that are designed to promote Equality and Stimulation for wheelchair users and their partners. These include: Group dances, Samba, Quickstep and Waltz to a variety of music styles."

 

(The video! Fingers Crossed!) 

Any questions about  Wheelchair Dance please contact Laura or Nicola at Marquisway.

Our Elvis afternoon was a huge success! We are hoping to organise for him to come back for more shows over the coming months, we will keep you updated.

We were hoping to bring you the photographs of Elvis, unfortunately, we haven't received them in time to publish, we will have them next week for you.

Finally, a little date for diaries.

Marquisway will be closed on the next Bank Holiday which is Monday 2nd May.
