25.01.2022 I thought dancers had to have two arms and two legs After losing her lower limbs from meningitis, Kat was plunged into a fog of confusion and grief thinking that she'd never walk, let alone dance again. However, after several years she braved the studio once again. "It was an audition, so the atmosphere was intense - but the presence of other disabled performers instantly had a liberating effect on me... Wheelchairs, prosthetics, crutches and canes were no longer just medi...cal aids, but objects filled with possibilities." "Dance is for everyone, its only the way it is traditionally taught that makes us think its not." Read the full story here: https://bbc.in/2xBjUfO
