The founder of Britain’s only all-wheelchair-user professional dance company hopes that the company’s first tour around the country next month will “start a ripple effect” in encouraging more people to realise that they can dance.
The newly formed Propel Dance kicks off its tour amid reports that the producers of the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing are keen on adding a wheelchair user as a contestant in the next series. Sophie Morgan, who appears on ITV’s Loose Women, has been tipped for the role.
