  • The participant needs to be dancing in the wheelchair while the music is playing.
  • The participant can have an abled body help accompany them, please register them now.
  • We will have extra helpers available on the day of the event. 
  • Only one participant and helper can register at a time on this platform.
  • There will be a small dance to learn that day, that is why people need to come early and there are very strict rules and parameters for this event in order to officially attempt the record.
  • There will be registration tables to collect information that day.
  • Each participant will be assigned a number bib and colored bandana to wear during the dance.
