Get Swept Away

Dance Haddonfield, the Delaware Valley chapter of USA Dance, working with the Haddonfield Lions Club, has initiated a program to bring ballroom dance to Blind and Visually Impaired Dancers.

For outreach purposes, however, both terms must be used to reach both groups.  We want to share with USA Dance and other chapters what we have learned, and to offer to assist others in this means of bringing joy and a healthy pastime to the Blind and Visually Impaired.  

Our prototype initiative to bring the joy of ballroom dance to people who are blind or visually impaired got some press. See "Dancing to the rhythm of the beat" published in the Sun newspapers about the inspiration and successful first implementation of our 10-week dance program.

This program was so successful that we instituted a free workshop for dance instructors which took place at the Grace Church on September 10, 2023.  

Great success!!!  We are now holding this eight-week program four times a year.  We will be announcing when the next session starts.

The American Dancer magazine, the official publication of USA Dance Inc., has an interesting article about our sponsored lessons for Blind and Visually Impaired Dancers.  Read all about it and check out the photos on https://americandancer.org/blind-dancers/

It would also help us spread the word if you could share this on your social media.
