Graceful. The true meaning of this word is fully embodied during Project Prima. UVM’s ballet club, Ballet Viridis, hosts dance workshops for kids with different abilities- Project Prima ignites. My daughter, Delaney (aka Del), has the opportunity to move her body, connect with peers, and feel the love of these beautiful ballerinas. All are welcome to join the dance, including siblings and friends. These dancers possess an innate ability to share their love of dance with people of all abilities. Del’s physical abilities and movements have been described by professionals as “a series near misses,” which translates to daily bumps and bruises; however, during Project Prima she feels nothing but grace.

“Del is an amazing child who has brought things to a new perspective. Friends in the community have started a mountain bike and trail run to raise money for Del’s condition”. Sara Kruk Please check out http://www.delsride.org.
