PrancingMum Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Sorry if this is not in the right area of the Forum to post this but I thought it was worth sharing. We are all on the Forum because of our involvement in ballet in some way or other: teacher, mum, dancer. I found this article to be truly inspirational especially at this time of year when we awaiting the outcomes of auditions for our able bodied dancers it puts our trials and tribulations and successes and knockback's into perspective. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/humankind/2017/01/17/not-being-able-walk-her-own-dancing-ballerina/96633118/ Edited January 18, 2017 by Newdancermum 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancey Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Lovely article, thank you for sharing. My eldest daughter has a learning disability (with associated physical conditions) and has been taking ballet classes for 6 years. She now also takes classes with this amazing company http://stopgap.uk.com/ and dreams of being part of their touring company. Success in dance for her is different but every bit as exciting. ???? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
