Interview with Mary Verdi-Fletcher

In this episode of DanceCast, Mary Verdi-Fletcher shares her history founding and directing Dancing Wheels, a company and school based out of Cleveland, OH that has been uniting the talents of dancers both with and without disabilities since 1980. Mary was one of the first professional wheelchair dancers in the US, and has inspired many to follow her path through her desire to provide full and equal access into the world of dance. In this interview, she looks both backward and forward, appreciating the strides that have been made for dancers with disabilities, as well as discussing what more still needs to be done.
