Dancing in the Dark
Let's dance with the fastest vision impaired athlete on the planet Jason Smyth MBE. We dance off too with Carol Carr and Jessica Kennedy in this Dancing with the Stars special.
Get up, stand upJason Smyth is the undefeated champion of both Paralympic sport and Dancing with the Stars.
Chatting with host Joe G Jason discusses how he moved from Greece lighting to grease paint. He discusses ways to create greater awareness and understanding of blindness. You'll be up off your seat as Jason challenges you to find comfort while seated in any uncomfortable zone.
Feet of the DancerWhile born to run teenager Carol Carr developed much of her athletic abilities from learning the dance movements of Saturday Night Fever. She later become Ireland's first blind Paralympic athlete to win gold. While boarding at St. Mary's School for Blind Girls in Dublin Carol attended structured dance classes across a variety of genres. Between the jigs and reels Carol recalls some wonderful memories.
The Last WaltzWhen Jessica Kennedy heard that her idol Jason Smyth was to be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars she popped him an email. She explained she had Stargardts eye condition, same as Jason, and that she was a dance instructor. To her surprise Jason promptly replied and invited her on to the rehearsal set and to the LIVE show.
