It\u2019s been several years since we began partnering with Cheryl Angelelli<\/a> and the RIM Foundation to create Dance Mobility<\/a>, an adapted dance program\u00a0for persons with disabilities, subsidized by the RIM Foundation and held at our studio in Bloomfield Hills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheryl is a celebrated athlete and award-winning, internationally-known wheelchair dancer herself! Her passion for bringing dance to all interested individuals is mirrored in our belief that dance brings happiness, health and wholeness to everyone who does it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited to launch this contest,\u201d Cheryl says. \u201cThe first dance of a newly married couple, and the father-daughter or mother-son dance at a wedding, are such special milestones. We want to make sure everyone can savor that special moment.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The contest launches this Wednesday, on Valentine\u2019s Day, February 14, 2018, and submissions are due by March 14, 2018. The winning couple will receive a free, customized wedding dance package, worth $500. FADS dance instructors<\/a> will choreograph a special first dance for \"\"<\/a>the couple, or for a bride\/groom to dance with a parent.<\/span><\/p>\n
