Dancing On Wheels
Strictly Come Dancing's Brian Fortuna trains six wheelchair-users and their celebrity partners in the art of wheelchair ballroom dancing in a new BBC Three series starting on February 11.
The pairs have just five weeks to train for a series of weekly competitions before a panel of judges. Then, week by week, one couple will be eliminated with the winning duo going on to represent the UK in an International Wheelchair Dancing Competition in Tel Aviv.
In the opening episode, the six meet their celebrity partners for the first time. They are briefed by choreographer Fortuna and make their first tentative moves on the dance floor. Three couples must learn the Cha Cha Cha while the others take on the Tango.
None of the wheelchair-users have ballroom danced before and while the celebrities either have experience from Strictly Come Dancing or dance training in their background, they are completely new to wheelchair ballroom dancing.
The celebrity dancers are M People's Heather Small, world champion swimmer Mark Foster, TV presenter Caroline Flack, Hollyoaks actor Kevin Sacre, actress and singer Michelle Gayle and rugby league player Martin Offiah.
