Whether it's jumping, waving or something as simple as moving your eyebrows, anyone can dance.
That's the idea behind the week-long D.R.E.A.M. project in New York City, where disabled children learn to express themselves through dance.
Founded by a dance artist and a physical therapist, the program focuses on disabled children's abilities in order to help them better connect with each other and able-bodied children. Held at the National Dance Institute in New York, all children involved in the program learn to work together in an empowering way.
