Sabrina’s story
Our dear client Sabrina, affected by a rare neurodegenerative illness that provokes serious movement and word disorders: Ataxia Sca1, five years ago found herself coping with a new life, and dance helped her.
She found in physical activity the way to slow the illness down, through walks, swimming pools and dance she found herself again. These her words: “ At the beginning there were just tears and rejection, with fear and rage. I’m an ill woman that try to express the femininity that the illness is taking away. Ataxia attacks balance, but I will dance until I can!”.
One of her personalized t-shirt says “I dance against ataxia, but I lead”. Sabrina’s strength is an example for everyone, and it motivates us to train by dancing regularly with passion and determination.
Dance is a pleasant physical exercise that improves life quality if practiced with constance and a proper warmup.
