When professional ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis lost her leg in the horrific Boston Marathon bombing, she feared that she would never be able to dance again.
Something about the life of a dancer has always captured our imaginations. Whether it be Patrick Swayze dancing with his wife in a beautifully choreographed performance, or a couple of Lindy-Hoppers throwing each other up in the air, we've always loved the dedication that dancers have put into perfecting their craft. So when we hear that a dancer's love of their art has been hindered by the loss of their most valuable dancing tool, their leg, we can't help but feeling utter sadness for that poor soul.
However, thanks to the incredible medical and scientific strides of the 21st century, less than 200 days after she was forced to have her leg amputated, Haslet-Davis performed her most incredible dance to date.
In light of all that this brave dancer has been through, the performance she puts on is not only beautiful to watch, but emotional as well.
She has quickly risen to meet and defeat the challenges that come her way, with patience, positivity and an upbeat attitude; she's a true inspiration to everyone and a physical example of the phrase, "Boston Strong!"
