Solo Recital Dance on One Leg



Eight-year-old Alissa Sizemore has taken dance lessons since she was four. In May of 2014, a truck ran over her right foot, and it was amputated below the knee. She was back in the dance studio even before she received her prosthetic leg. Less than a year after the accident, Alissa performed a solo at her dance school’s recital. The song is "Try" by Colbie Caillat, which Alissa says is an inspiration to her. Watch as she starts off dancing with her new leg, and then removes it for more freedom. The audience was impressed -and so am I! (via Buzzfeed)

What was that clanging sound? It sounded like something made out of brass.

Ken, I listened to the whole thing again, and I don't know what you're referring to.

Not meaning to mansplain, Miss C... But he may have been obliquely trying to reference how brave she is. Allsbay of assbray.

Nonetheless, a very good video- very inspiring.

Have a great day, Miss C!
