The Melbourne dance crew changing perceptions of young people with Down syndrome
A not-for-profit Melbourne dance ensemble will soon travel across the world to raise awareness for people with Down syndrome.
Kew-based group e.motion21 is a volunteer organisation which offers dance and fitness programs for children and young adults born with the condition.
More than 20 dancers from the group will soon perform in front of thousands at the World Down Syndrome Congress in India, where they will work to remove any stigma associated with disability.
Around 29,000 children are born each year in India with Down syndrome.
Not only will the dancers be performing on the big stage, they'll also be teaching some of their moves to Indian students, whom they will meet when they visit several local schools.
