It seems that those with biid feel more natural (but not completely, nor even near it) doing just about anything with as close of a simulation as possible of the desired/needed impairment.

Much of it was very danceable, and so we danced together quite a bit, holding hands style. We hadn't done this before. It didn't take Alicia too long to accomodate the momentum of the wheelchair and learn how to spin me, etc. She commented that it's much nicer dancing with me when I'm in a wheelchair. It's seems a lot more natural and authentic for both of us. Yesterday Alicia and I took turns picking out music for us to listen to at home.

But I LOVE wheelchair dancing. I do feel awkward and clumsy dancing on my feet and not at all in a chair. I'm glad you found a good moment with BIID. My desired disability is not

I enjoy music with a good beat (african drums, anyone?), but I am not much of a dancer. But in my chair, dancing is *fun* :) I don't do it very much at all, unfortunately.
