Free 2 Be me Dance is an adaptive ballet class for kids in the greater Los Angeles area who have Down Syndrome. The kids learn dance movements, coordination and how to follow directions. The program offers a chance to feel more acccepted while building confidence,
strength, forming relarionships and of course, having fun!
The foundation of this wonderful cause is brought to light through the tireless hours and dedication of Colleen Perry, licennsed Marriage and Family Therapist int he State of California, who just may get more out of this program in her heart than the kids themselves.
Each year I photograph and film the kids (who's age varies greatly) and get to watch the process of development and undeniable love they show each other; and at times even me..
Each has their own personaility that completely sets them aside from the others and it is in this divergence I see their beautiful syncronicity as a unit when they perform.
They are a pure pleasure and the assistance they get from this program is undeniable.
