Peu importe les battons dans les roues que la vie peut mettre, il y a toujours un moyen de contourner les difficultés et de trouver un autre chemin. On arrivera peut-être pas exactement à là destination qu’on avait en tête, mais une chose est certaine, on trouvera LA route qui nous permet de trouver la meilleure place pour nous ! • • • #Repost @danceforallbodies • • • • • • “When in doubt, dance it out 🖤” Love this video soooo much!

Hip Hop Dance and Disability

The HITEMFOLKS video showcases that “disability” doesn’t matter. What matters in the video, is that everyone is outside on the street having fun. The hip hop dancers share a collective dance move, the whoa. This is the move where one fist is up in the air moving in a circular motion while the body is still, sometimes with one leg up. In the video, it is clear that there is a general celebration of each individual dancers moves and creative expression. The group’s collectiveness and high energy towards each other brings no discussion of separating their differences of disabled and able embodiment. 

This is an example of how all bodies are celebrated in their own dance expression and capable of dancing together.

The video supports important social context through participatory culture. By supporting each other in the dance group of all ethnicities, shapes, sizes, and abilities, the video is making a difference showcasing that everybody can dance.
