From the pictures on the cando.co.uk site, there are actors with various
disabilities, several of which could have been wheelchair users capable of
the dance moves demonstrated.  Theres one dancer with a leg disability who I
think was the dancer involved, although I'm not positive.

Kendall

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
