Dancers Without Limits is Helping Students with Intellectual Disabilities Find Their Love for Dance with Ava Leavitt

First Lady & Friends

Ava Leavitt joins Utah's First Lady, Abby Cox, to discuss how vital dancing has been throughout her life, how she’s navigated some of the most complex challenges she’s faced in high school, and her solution to how teenagers negatively engage with social media.

Then, Ava shares how losing her identity inspired her to create Dancers Without Limits, a dance program designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities, and how the organization is helping connect everyone passionate about dance.

Colton Hyde also joins us to talk about how volunteering for Dancers Without Limits has taught him to be himself after working with the other dancers.

Tammy Leavitt then shares how Dancers Without Limits has changed those participating in the program.

Lastly, Ava discusses the program's future as she approaches high school graduation and college.
