The dancers swayed to the music, telling emotional stories with rhythmic movement.

Fluid and graceful, the company was like most others, except that many of the dancers are physically disabled.
 
The Dancing Wheels, a dance troupe which integrates "professional stand-up and sit-down (wheelchair)" dancers, performed this afternoon at General Synod 27. Their unique repertoire combined classic dance movements reinterpreted to include – and feature – wheelchair dancers.

In addition to traditional dance themes, the hour-long perform also featured dances advocating social justice issues.
