This pancocojams post showcases a YouTube video of Phil Wright Choreography dancers dancing to Michael Jackson's 1972 Rhythm & Blues record "Rockin Robin". This Phil Wright choreography #parentjam video features clips of various parents dancing with their child and also features two women dancing in wheelchairs.
Selected comments from this video's discussion thread are included in this post. I particularlly included some of the comments in that discussion thread about the two women dancing in wheelchairs. Several of those comments are from two other people who use wheelchairs- and one of those commenters had negative reactions to the way that a number of commenters "gushed over"* the women who danced in their wheelchairs.
*These are my words for how that commenter described others' reactions to the women dancing in wheelchairs.

Thanks to Michael Jackson for his music. Thanks to Phil Wright for his dance sessions and his choreography. Thanks also to the dancers, the videographer, and all those who are quoted in this post.

"@Kewl Beans You are so right! Pretty sure it's no big deal for them....I mean, sh-t* happens right? Not like there's not a gazillion people out there in wheelchairs. ☺🙄😑
Most of them probably don't want peoples pity.
But I bet that most of them don't mind when people throw a positive comment their way. They probably don't mind if someone out there gets inspired by them or by what they're doing. They probably don't even realize that something they are doing COULD be the motivation for someone else (that has recently found themselves in this situation) to except what has happened to them and to get on with their own lives.
Yep, I can see how all this would become totally annoying. 😒😧"

The over the top praise stuff though is pretty insulting & demeaning, I've even been clapped & told "well done, you're so brave, I'm so proud of you" by a stranger on a bus, cause I managed to wheel up a wheelchair ramp onto the bus & into the dedicated wheelchair spot. This man then decided he was going to insist on talking to me the whole trip & told me how he would cill himself if he ever needed a wheelchair & how life couldn't be worth living in a wheelchair. I have no time for losers like that! People need to see the person NOT the wheelchair! Most of those heaping unjustified praise on people in wheelchairs are in fact the ones that make life incredibly difficult for those in wheelchairs, refusing to allow us to live a normal life, refusing to even make venues accessible, cause they don't believe we're capable of attending them without carers!
Anyway, I'm just looking for a version of this song that's good for birds to watch, cause I've rescued a couple of abused lorikeets & seen lots of parrots seem to like this song, so hoping mine will too, if accompanied by the right visuals. I don't think this one's quite right for them, so I'll be continuing my search now (unless anyone has any tips on this?)"

Google translate from French to English didn't translate the word "para". This is my guess about the English translation of that sentence.

"I am an elementary Physical Education teacher who just came across your #ParentJam. I love it!!!!! Now that Break Dancing is an Olympic sport, I think these dances are a way to introduce my students to a new dance skill set. So many of the TikTok's have vulgar language or vulgar dance moves. This was very refreshing to see. I LOVE< LOVE>LOVE how it was child and parent involvement. I would love to speak with you to pick your mind about how to develop this kind of energy and passion at my school. I might be 55 years old and a PE teacher for 33 years but I can still " Bring it."

Here's information about Break Dancing being included in the Olympics:
From https://www.smh.com.au/sport/breakdancing-is-now-an-olympic-sport-what-does-it-take-to-win-a-medal-20201208-p56lqp.html#:~:text=But%20breakdancing%20is%20now%20not,at%20the%202024%20Paris%20Games. Breakdancing is now an Olympic event. What will it take to win a medal?
Paris has staked its claim for a fresh, new sport at the 2024 Olympics: breakdancing. Why? We break it down.
By Sarah Keoghan, July 16, 2021
…"breakdancing is now not only a famous hip-hop dance style, it is a sport. And not just any sport, it's an Olympic sport – following a bold decision by the International Olympic Committee to have BBoys and BGirls compete at the 2024 Paris Games."...
