and enjoy!
The lady in her 30s was a dancer and was trained as one since she was a
little girl. Later she got into some kind of accident and lost her entire
left arm. She was depressed for a few years. It seemed that someone asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance. She wanted to dance again. So she started to do some of her old routines. But by her ! losing an arm, she also lost her balance. It took a while before she could even making simple turns and spins without falling. Eventually she got it.
Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a leg in an accident. This guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster. She looked him up (seemingly he was from a different Province) and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never danced. And to dance with one leg? Are you joking with me? No way he says.. But she didn't give up. He reluctantly agreed. " I have nothing else to do anyway." She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because the guy had no concept of using muscle, control his body, and a few other basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out.
Eventually they came back together and started training. They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly h! igh (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air. He could bend horizontally supported by one leg and she leaning on him, etc. They danced beautifully and they legitimately beat others in the competition.
I would like to share with you this most magnificent and touching
performance I have ever seen! It is a living proof that strong spirit can
conquer any physical limitations! Watch the clip.

Hey Shaun,
What part of Australia are you from? I was looking at globalincidentmap.com and it shows some things going on there in the western part of the country. Possible nail bomb explosion, woman hospitaized after opening letter with white powder-chemical, bomb squad probes Queanbeyan River gelignite. Sounds real serious, you definitely want to stay away and be carefull!! This site is really nice when considering a place take a vacation!
God Bless,
Brent
