The short answer? Yes, definitely. They've taught DansKinetics to people in wheelchairs and hospital beds.
The long answer? Even if I lead something that you feel you can't handle, the beauty of DansKinetics is that you don't have to do what I'm leading. My initial disclaimer in every class is that everyone needs to pay attention to their own body and their own energy...and that means if they need to take a break or move in a different way than I'm leading -do it. No judgment. The key to the class is in the approach: listening to your body, honouring its limitations, and enjoying what it can do. As long as you're good with that it'll be great.
If you want more of a breakdown of what goes on in a typical class just let me know. I'm just beginning to remember how much I love it, so I'm happy to talk about it!
I think, it's one of those things I've always wished I had. More confidence in....well, moving. I know, that probably sounds silly, it's hard to explain. I'd be interested to find out more about it. I googled it, but it didn't really explain a lot to me.
I don't think that sounds silly at all! You'd be surprised how many people have no confidence in moving, regardless of actual mobility. Give me a day or so to get my shit together and I'll make a post explaining the basic rundown of a class and giving some examples of things we do. Deal? :-)
I've been neglecting commenting on lj for a bit, due to just being darn busy. But I want you to know that I'm very proud of you and happy for you for all the work you've accomplished (in such a short time, too!) towards making your dream happen. That's remarkable. Best of luck on the 23rd!

I have awkward mobility, do you think there might still be anything in this for me?
