    best thing I read all day

    It's a credit to the writer that when I read the NYTimes article and saw its images (admittedly from a non-disabled point of view) I didn't see the disabilities; what jumped out at me was the radiant little girls doing what many little girls like to do. It made my day, truly. But it shouldn't be seen as a sappy human interest story: it should demonstrate to dancing schools everywhere that it can be done, and that there are no excuses for not doing so.
