    Dance Like Everyone Is Watching : Beating Cancer and Fulfilling Your Purpose Through Inclusion

    Dance Like Everyone Is Watching : Beating Cancer and Fulfilling Your Purpose Through Inclusion

    After being featured in Drake's One Dance video, I was left breathless with Musa Motha.
    Not by what is obvious but by the power behind what Musa wants to communicate to the world - that dance has the power to change us in ways that we can’t remain the same people after a moving performance.

    Musa is a South African dancer, filmmaker, choreographer, and motivational speaker. In 2006, at 11 years old, Musa was diagnosed with bone cancer, as a result of which his left leg had to be amputated. Before this tragic event, Musa was into soccer and dreamed of one day becoming a professional player. After this illness, Musa accepted that he would not be able to pursue the dream of being a professional soccer player. However, Musa Mothe believed that when one door closes, there is certainly always a window left open.
