This is a truly incredible story! On April 15, 2013, terrorists set off bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a professional ballroom dancer lost her left leg below the knee in the attacks.
For many people, this would have been a death sentence to a career that requires them to constantly be on their feet. But Adrianne took this as a challenge instead of a setback, and when you watch her dance, it’s impossible not to feel inspired.
After being convinced by the amputee community to never stop dancing, Adrianne took up her craft again with her partner, Artsiom Chapialiou. Then, in a moving performance, the pair took the stage at a TEDx event and blew the crowd away. If Adrianne’s dancing has motivated you, share this video with your friends and family!
