Compass - Dancing To Disney

[miss.potatohead]

Hi guys!

I was watching ABC the other night and this was on Compass. Had I known earlier I would have posted it but the video is embedded in the webpage.

It was such an emotional yet heartwarming show, I even had a few tears.
From the webpage

"From rehearsals to the big day, Compass follows Australia's much loved dance troupe The Merry Makers as they rehearse and make their way to Disneyland in California for their first ever overseas performance.

Merry Makers Australia is a talented and entertaining dance group of children and adults with disabilities, including Down Syndrome, Autism and Cerebral Palsy. They range in age from 7 to 57, and nearly all the troupe - up to 70 dancers - plus their parents, carers and helpers are going on the tour. Many are calling it 'an adventure of a lifetime'. Compass follows their inspiring journey from rehearsals to the big day, through the eyes and lives of the Merry Makers and their extended entourage."
