Wolfgang is known internationally for his teaching methods which stress the need to share and acknowledge each other's abilities, whether disabled or not.

Amici runs regular improvisation and creative dance classes for its 40+ members at The Lyric Theatre Hammersmith, where they are the community artists in residence. Recently they launched Young Amici, integrated dance classes for young people.
