OREM, Utah -- "Dance is one of my favorite things to do," said the 14-year-old, with a huge grin on her face.
But even after three years of dance, Kelley is still working on the simplest moves. Moves that, for almost anyone else, seem simple. Kelley suffers from cerebral palsy, a neuromuscular disorder that affects a person's ability to move.
But for one day every week between August and May a group of eight dance together in the special needs dance class offered by The Dance Club in Orem. They are each at their own level because of their own abilities. They range in age from 6 to 28 years old and suffer from Down syndrome to cerebral palsy to autism. There have even been a couple who've come in wheelchairs.
