Be a Part of History
The United States is set to stage the first sanctioned Para Dance Sport (wheelchair ballroom dancing) competition in North America. The Dearborn 2024 Para Dance Sport USA Open presented by the RIM Foundation will take place August 10-11, 2024, at the Dearborn Community & Performing Arts Center. This historic event will welcome some of the world’s best wheelchair ballroom dancers from over 20 countries to Dearborn, MI.
Para Dance Sport is an extremely elegant, graceful and stylish sport which involves athletes who use a manual or power wheelchair due to a physical disability. Para Dance competitions are regularly held throughout Europe and Asia, but never in North America, until now.

 

“We could not be more excited to welcome Para Dancers from around the world to Dearborn and the surrounding Detroit area. More importantly, we look forward to showcasing the talents and skills of these amazing athletes, who truly embody what it means to defy limitations. We hope this event will be a springboard to show others what is possible and grow the sport of Para Dance in the United States,” says Katie Spillane, Vice President, RIM Foundation. Become A Sponsor Your sponsorship will help us fund a first-class competition and create a warm, welcoming and inclusive experience for attendees, many of whom will be visiting the U.S. for the first time. We look forward to the potential partnership opportunity to share your brand and mission with our global community of persons with disabilities.
