GPAC’s 2003-2004 Broadway and More Series presents Dancing Wheels on Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m.

Tickets for the show are $20-$22 for adults and $10 for children and students.

The full-length concert features both classical and contemporary music, illustrating the elegance and diversity of dance.

A suite of music features film tracks from famous Burt Bacharach songs including: “Always Something There to Remind Me,” “What Do You Get When You Fall in Love?,” “What’s New Pussycat?,” “Alfie” and more.

Dancing Wheels brings back the romance and joy of the early 1970s. It is best described as one of the most moving and inspirational performances you will ever experience on the stage.
Dancing Wheels is one of the nation’s premier modern dance companies that integrates professional stand-up and sit-down (wheelchairs) dancers. These dancers don’t let their physical disabilities stop them from doing what they love.

The performers have captivated audiences worldwide with their exquisite artistry and have helped to expand the scope of artistic possibilities in a way that is truly unique and entertaining for all.

The production has taught and inspired children and adults of all abilities around the world.
Dancing Wheels has been featured in numerous national publications and television programs including ABC’s television special Christopher Reeve: A Celebration of Hope, CBS’s Sunday Morning, and ABC’s Good Morning America.

Even Christopher Reeve was moved by this breathtaking performance.

“Dancing Wheels is proof that the possibilities are endless,” Reeve said in a review of the show.
