Meet Jess – Spotlight Story
12-year-old Jess has attended our classes for a few years and is a student in our Liberate Dance Youth class in Winchester, which is our exclusively wheelchair-based dance group for ages 7-13.
Jess has Cerebral Palsy and she says,
“I always like to try new things and join in”
When asked what made her join these classes she responds,
“Because I love dancing, it makes me happy and I like learning new dance routines”
Jess shares with us why she likes dancing with Move Momentum,
“Because I like dancing with my friends and I like to see my friends each week in the lesson”
She highlights the benefits of attending the class, including “exercise, making friends, and learning new skills, like how to better use my wheelchair.”
It’s heartening to hear how much community and friends means to Jess, and how the classes provide not only physical benefits but also valuable social connections.
When Jess is not doing her favourite thing which is learning new dance routines she loves to watch Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice.
Thank you, for sharing your story with us Jess! We love dancing with you at Liberate Dance, and thank you, too, for being a huge part of our Liberate Youth sessions.
