Bringing their talents to the big stage of The Greatest Dancer is the inspiring dance group Autism With Attitude. All of the members of Autism With Attitude, or AWA for short, are on the Autism spectrum. This amazing dance group allows each member to express themselves through art.
The Greatest Dancer is a British show that follows dancers of all ages and genres as they compete for prize money and the chance to appear on Strictly Come Dancing. At first, the dancer is hidden behind a wall. As they start to dance, the audience is given the chance to vote on the audition. If at least 75 percent of the audience likes the dancer, the wall will open and the dancer moves on to the next round.
One of the dancer’s mothers described the group’s goal as “They just want to prove to everyone that, regardless of your abilities and your capabilities, that you can achieve anything.” As soon as the music started, the group showed off their hip-hop skills and easily won over the crowd. Before too long, the wall opened and this group was moving on to the next round.
After the performance, judge Cheryl commented by saying, “You came out with passion, with force, with fearlessness. And you did exactly what your mom said before. No matter your ability, no matter what’s going on, if you put in hard work and dedication, you can achieve your dreams.” Who else is cheering for this group too?
