The stage is set for a dance performance. It's bright and well lit with music slowly building up. The dancers take center stage. There are mixed group of nine, both boys and girls. There was no nervousness, no tension; just bright smiling faces waiting for that right moment to start dancing.
They were dressed in gorgeous red, brilliant green and lovely black. Satin ribbons of red and green alternated on hands to act as props. They were helping each other keep their positions right on stage before the performance. The dance started off with gusto, beautiful movements and synchronization. They were smiling and had their rhythm perfect. It was enthralling and beautiful. The performance ended with the same gusto and as they bowed out of stage, the audience erupted into a thunderous applause. It went on lauding the dancers to stand there and smile their beautiful smiles.
So what's special about a dance performance? The children are from a school for special children with various forms of growth difficulties. The list of debilitating and restraining ailments was long and all that the hall full of audience expected was maybe children who weren't too sure of themselves.
The dance ended but the music continued in our hearts
