Disability Pride Month

By Burju Perez

Every Body Belongs On The Dance Floor

July marks Disability Pride Month, commemorating the 1990 signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's a moment to uplift a community too often overlooked, celebrate their achievements, and break down harmful stereotypes.

And what better way to do it than through the power of dance?
