Kennedy Center Premiere
by ILL-ABILITIES™
Dance like anything is possible.
Be inspired by this international all-star breakdance crew of seven of the world’s best disabled dancers. No Excuses, No Limits takes audiences on a journey of each dancer’s story through dance, music, audience interaction, and a gained understanding of the limitless possibilities that any person can hold. ILL-ABILITIES™ does not mean “sick” or “unwell” but rather incredible, amazing, intricate talent—a reference to the use of “ill” in Hip Hop culture to mean something positive. The dancers strive to inspire audience members and spread positive thinking through their optimistic attitudes, personal stories, and unique dance moves.
