Dancing with a Disability was created as a way to inspire people with disabilities, showing them how having a disability doesn’t have to stop you from doing the things you love.
I have Functional Neurological Disorder, which cause me to lose the ability to walk, as well as lose upper body strength at times. I have danced since the age of 3 and when I lost the ability to walk in July 2020, I was determined to not let it stop me from dancing. It was this determination that encouraged me to create the work seen in this project. Dance has always been apart of my life and I didn’t want to let having a disability take that away from me.
