Actually, Dave, we continue to have this session at NEFFA! It has
occurred every year for the last 4 or 5 years, and will happen again
this Festival. It is called Seated Squares. Fred Wersan and the
Assabet Ramblers present the dance. You can look up Fred's email
information at the NEFFA website. I am sure that he would respond to
individuals who get in touch with him.

There was a session at Neffa a few years ago, about doing dances
that did not require actual dancing. This was for wheelchair bound
and other disabled people. Involved a lot of hand motions, clapping
and such. I forget who gave the session, but you may be able to
look it up if you attended and/or have your program from then.
Maybe it was 3 years or so ago? Maybe someone else on the list
remembers the session??

Hi all,
I'm calling a couple of community dances this summer for a non-
profit that mentors adult artists with varying developmental
disabilities. A high proportion of the dancers will be their
clients, or other similarly-disabled clients of their parent
organization. The mentors and other agency staff will be on hand
to dance as well. We're all very excited that this is happening,
and I want to be sure it's a successful experience for the dancers,
especially those with disabilities.
Has anyone on this list done anything similar? If so, do you have
any specific suggestions as I prepare? (On or off-list. Content or
approach.)
Thx!
