The International Dance Festival is in Birmingham this month. There are street shows, theatre shows and free classes, indoors and outdoors, for you to learn all types of dance.
The activities on offer have been inspiring. Particularly the Breaking Convention show that a friend and I went to see at the theatre.
There were several acts, but there was one particular act which was of dancers from all around the world. What you didn't realise at the start, when they were all doing their back flips and spins, was that they all had a disability.
Some had a prosthetic leg and others had disabilities that they were born with e.g. genetic defects, blindness, deafness.
It was amazing that their passion for dance was so strong that it was enough to overcome their disability. An inspiration to us all.
The video below is not from this particular act, but of another group of dancers. It still is good enough to make you want to get up on your feet and dance.
