Determined to Dance

There are times when I watch something like this and feel overwhelmingly grateful to be a part of the Down syndrome community. It is impossible for me to look at a group of people that sport that extra chromosome and not feel moved by the depth of love and joy that is communicated in their expressions and interactions. My heart feels full and I feel God whisper, "These are the shades of colors I promised you."

Oh sure I am a writer, and I hope to "make it" some day; but do you want to know what my dream job would be?

After all, I am also a dancer...

Determined to Dance is a documentary I will be excited to watch,

A portrait of young dancers with Down syndrome and their families. The video also includes rehearsal footage and actual performances.

Portrait-in-motion of a troupe of young adult dancers with Down syndrome. Led by Kenny,  irrepressible Elvis fan, fanatical storm-chaser/weatherman, wannabe Romeo, and an awesome, dedicated dancer, they prepare tougher pieces for larger audiences, but the number that always has fans on their feet in tears? "There's a place for us...somewhere."
