Founded in 2008 with a vision to make dance accessible to all. In 2010, we became a 501(c)(3) non-profit, allowing us to expand our reach and impact. Since then, we have provided dance classes to hundreds of individuals of all ages and mobility levels, creating opportunities for self-expression, connection, and empowerment.
Beverly Weurding was 55 years old when she was diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. At a time when most people are looking toward retirement, Beverly was navigating life as a new wheelchair user. With encouragement from her physical therapist, she created Wheelchair Dancers Organization (WDO) to share her lifelong love of dance with others in the Disabled community. To date, WDO has changed the lives of hundreds of dancers of all ages and mobility levels.
