Amputee Ballet Dancer Perseveres

 

 Gabi Shull has a story like none other, and is a huge inspiration to everyone! When she was only 9 year-old she had to get her leg amputated due to a bone condition called osteosarcoma.  She had already picked up an interest and talent in dance before the amputation and she was determined to pick it back up after.  Eventually, after a life-changing operation and a special leg attachment, she was able to pick dancing back up.  She even has started dancing outside of ballet and has an interest in jazz, hip-hop, tap, lyrical, and contemporary. Gabi is 15 now and still dancing; she's an inspiration to us all and is definitely Cut From A Different Cloth!
