Inspiring Woman Forms Wheelchair Dance Group after Spinal Injury

Life is often an unfair experience, throwing troubling circumstances and obstacles at us out of the blue. Unfortunately, hardships and trials have a way of finding and visiting us all at one time or another. Most of the time, the natural reaction when these unforeseen and horrible situations occur is anger and self-pity.

People often lash out angrily and have a “woe is me” attitude. Again, that is entirely understandable when bad things happen in life. But, for the most part, those attitudes and ways of being do nothing to change or improve the situation. They waste time and accomplish nothing.

A clip posted explains how one woman, Chelsea, dreamed of being a professional dancer. However, while in high school, she suffered a spinal injury that landed her in a wheelchair. For most people, this would have put any dreams of becoming a dancer to rest, but not Chelsea.

As she explains, she went on to pursue dancing, forming a dance group of seven women in wheelchairs – the Rollettes. As Kelly Clarkson mentions, the women have gone on to display their moves worldwide.

The inspiring woman states that she has had the opportunity to do some incredible things because of her perseverance and refusal to quit.

“And then I actually just got to perform in the Paralympics opening ceremony in Paris, which was seriously a dream come true,” she said. “That was the most incredible experience. And also, I actually got to perform in your (Kelly’s) music video,’ Invincible.’”

Chelsea also mentioned how she is helping others. She has created an empowerment camp for women and children with disabilities.

James 1:12: “There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God’s approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.”
