Dave Toole grew without using his legs, they were amputated when he was only 18 months old.
The artistic director of Slung Low, Alan Lane described Toole as an ‘extraordinary talent’.
He had been a professional dancer who toured around the world a number of times for almost 30 years.
In January Toole was appointed OBE for services to dance for disabled people.
In an interview with BBC in 2013 Toole said:“I got around on my hands at home, standing on one hand to reach up to turn on lights on and off and things, so I used things like that in performing.”
