You can dance if you want to...

As seen on http://failblog.org:
"I just didn’t feel all that welcome there for some reason."

A ruefully-smiling man in a low-backed manual wheelchair without push handles sits under a banner reading 'IF YOU CAN WALK YOU CAN DANCE!!' Standing couples dancing, people standing, and another person in a wheelchair are visible in the background. Captioned 'INSPIRATIONAL FAIL'.

Went to my first and last dance instructional appointment with my wife at the Dance Doctor in Santa Monica, CA"


A little bit of Googling shows that the slogan also repeats on the website. The FAQ says that "Dancing is as easy as walking once you are taught by a Dance Doctor Instructor." So if walking isn't an option, learning with these instructors doesn't seem to be one either.

Granted, dancing on wheels does seem like a very different art than dancing with feet, requiring different instructor skill sets. But oh my goodness, that photo just says it all.
