High School Dancer with Down Syndrome Shines at State Competition

A high school dancer with Down syndrome shined at a state drill competition. The talented young woman earned herself a standing ovation with her stunning routine. Watch the clip to learn about the young lady who loves dance and refuses to let anything hold her back.

The world can be and often is a sad, cold and cruel place. People say and do things that will leave you shaking your head and questioning humanity. How can people be so mean and vicious to one another? Don’t believe me? Spend some time on social media, and you’ll quickly see some of the worst elements of humanity.

In today’s world, persistence and determination are needed to achieve anything. That’s because people often share what are usually their misinformed and ignorant opinions on people and subjects. They’ll also count others out for one dumb, wrong reason or another.

Bree Cox is someone who loves dance. She likely isn’t what most people think of when they think of a high school dancer. She has Down syndrome, and she hasn’t let that hold her back from impressing others. In a clip posted on YouTube, she put on a terrific dance all by herself at a high school state drill team competition.

She did so well that her moves earned her a standing ovation from the crowd. Bree’s performance took place after much determination and persistence.

“She had a harder time learning to walk, learning to talk, all the things,” Bree’s mother said.

Bree’s mom added that despite her daughter’s challenges, she refused to give up on her dream of being on the drill team.

“She always believed in herself, and she kept telling her sisters that she was going to be on the team one day,” Bree’s mom said.

What an absolutely inspiring young woman. Congratulations, Bree!

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”
