NDI has taught me that it doesn’t matter where you are from, what you look like, or who you are to experience and love this form of expression.

The [NDI DREAM program] doesn't just impact the children with disabilities, it impacts everyone involved. It celebrates the joy of dance and how it brings people together... it changes you as a person and makes you a better human being.
