In the United States, the company presents more than 100 performances reaching audiences of 125,000 each year. Dancing Wheels has done an ambassadorial tour to Prague, Guatemala, and Poland. The company represented the United States and the state of Ohio with a full concert performance at the International Very Special Arts Festival in Brussels, Belgium, and Los Angeles, California, and opened the first National Conference of Careers in the Arts for People with Disabilities at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
