The adorable five-year-old in the video below was born with a form of short-limbed dwarfism called Achondroplasia. The condition has stunted her growth, but it certainly didn’t stop her enthusiasm. Despite her condition and what other might think of it, Rilee is just like any other little girl her age.
She loves dancing around in front of her mom and dad – and she’s really good at it. She’s a wonderful little girl, the pride and joy of her parents, and an inspiration. In celebration of Dwarfness Awareness Month (October), the energetic little girl put together a special dance for all of her fans and other viewers online.
Dancing to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” she and her mom hope to show people that different is beautiful. Also, this is meant to help other people better understand Dwarfism and hopefully let go of stereotypes and misconception and see Rilee for whom she is deep inside, a beautiful little girl with a contagious enthusiasm. The way we look is not the most important thing, how we choose to act and see the world, that’s what makes us who we are.
This will definitely put a smile on your face!
