FULL STORY: Think you can’t dance? Miyuki thought the same thing.

Miyuki is visually impaired. Before We Can Dance, she had never danced Kizomba, Bachata, or any partner dance.

Her first day in class, she said, “I cannot dance.”

Today, Miyuki dances, believes in herself, and looks forward to seeing friends like Rosa in class.

That is what happens when people are given the opportunity to learn, connect, and belong.

If we can get Miyuki dancing, we can get you dancing too.
