A teenager born without arms or legs has become an inspiration after making his school dance team.
Gave Adams, 17, is one of the dancers on the team at Davis High School in Kaysville, Utah, despite having no limbs.
He suffers from a rare disease called Hanhart syndrome but hasn’t let it stop him from achieving his goals.
“I got into dancing because I wanted to prove to myself and other people around me that there was more to me than the kid that was in the wheelchair or the kid who didn’t have an extra activity to do and stuff like that,” he told KSL.com.
“I love the feeling that I get. I can be free and be who I am and express my emotions and feelings through it all and come out as a completely different person after the performance.”
Gave performed in front of his school for the first time last month during half-time at a basketball match. In the video clip, the crowd in the gym cheer as he performs his moves.
His dance teammate, Aimee Hoster, told Fox13 News: “Watching him, it just inspires me and I see why he was brought on to this team.”
The team practice three days a week for three hours a session.
Another teammate, Alexis Delahunty, said: “I can’t even imagine doing this without my arms and legs. It’s so inspiring. He’s just amazing.”
