The Ballet Arts Theatre will present a lecture-demonstration, featuring a wheelchair dancer, at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 3 at Stedman Elementary School, 2940 Dexter St.

Teri Westerman, Miss Wheelchair Colorado 2000, will perform stylized ballet with able-bodied dancer David Mineo.

Westerman is president of PHAMLY, an organization for disabled actors. The dancers and Paul Fiorino, artistic director of the Ballet Arts Theatre, will also talk about the arts and answer student questions.

The event celebrates National Arts and Humanities Month and Disabled Awareness Month, both of which occur in October. Ballet Arts Theatre is celebrating its 45th year in the Golden Triangle, and Fiorino has been artistic director for 10 years. Fiorino is also president of the Golden Triangle Arts District and serves on the Governor’s Council for Physical Fitness.

The program is coming to Stedman through the sponsorship of ArtReach.
