I recorded this while having breakfast this morning

'May god heal.you all by his mercy and make everybody happy " this is a comment that was left on my Instagram feed. a video of me in the dancing through life class at Rollettes experience. this person obviously did not know what they were watching and has to challenge their ideas of what disability is and what it is not.
