 Are people with disabilities unable to pursue their dreams? Can the challenges of life prevent them from pursuing their dreams?

Dance is a universal language, an expression of the heart. Everybody has a dance inside of them. But what about a person confined to a wheelchair?

Kitty Luna is a ballet and modern dancer. Her uniqueness lies in the fact that she is a dancer with a disability. She founded the dance company Infinite Dance Theatre in 1995, which consists of dancers with and without disabilities. She has expanded the boundaries of dance and developed the art of wheelchair dance.

The main reason she turned to dance was when her grandmother took her to see a red-headed ballerina on her eighth birthday. She wanted to be a talented dancer like the dancers there. She was lucky to meet her first teacher at the Paris Opera Ballet. She recognized Kitty's talent and encouraged her to dance. She then moved from New Orleans to the Washington Ballet. There she had the opportunity to work with many famous artists such as Erik Bruhn, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyevand, and Jose Limon.

In 1984, she was unfortunately involved in an accident. She was hospitalized for approximately three years.

Despite the obstacles, she decided to return to dancing in 1992. She also took regular ballet classes while in a wheelchair. Despite her disability, she practiced dance for approximately six days a week.

No matter how talented she is, no one lets her on stage because she is in a wheelchair. Especially in New York, many theaters are not wheelchair accessible.

She is truly a brave and strong woman. She further states, "I don't consider my disability to be an important part of my life, I describe myself as an artist."

Despite the challenges she faced in her dance career from society and due to her disability, she never gave up.

She is waiting for the world to catch up with her.
