Jan 15, 2019

People with Down syndrome are completely capable of leading a long and happy life and are owed this right just like everyone else in the world. It's no surprise that so many are supporting this 21-year-old competitor, Andrew. Andrew is competing on the British television show, The Greatest Dancer.

Andrew, like many others, is living a life of happiness in spite of his Down syndrome. He made an appearance on the first episode of the show. The Greatest Dancer is a new television show that's being shown on BBC. The BBC states that the television program is different from Simon Cowell's company as it focuses on ordinary people.

For Andrew, he would be considered an extraordinary person! As his audition started, Andrew and his mom entered into the waiting room area. He was so excited when his mom laced his shoes up and told everyone that it was show time. He loved that all the attention was on him and let his mom know.

On a segment of the show that was prerecorded, Andrew's mom explained how his interest with dance started when he was around 11 years old. He was watching another talent competition on the television which was a lot like the one he is auditioning for. He used to play and practice in the family's small den for hours when he was a child.

Andrews mom said that it just made him feel so happy and you could tell that he had a love for the art of dance. She goes on to tell how dance has even helped with Andrew's self-confidence. She said that since dance, his self-esteem has been boosted tremendously.

Andrew decided that Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" was a perfect fit for his performance. And you just have to see it!

He didn't have any problem getting the approval of the audience. One of the judges even began to cry after his performance. You simply have to see his dance moves yourself!
