"George had been a professional dancer in Port-au-Prince as well as the head of a dance company he founded. To George, his injuries signified more than just the loss of his limbs; they were the loss of his identity."
“I remember the first time George tried on the new prosthetic we made,” says Pilosof. “We expected him to take his first baby steps without a walker, his first steps since he lost his leg. Suddenly George stood up and started dancing. My son and I were in utter shock. We had no idea he was a dancer and what a dancer! We wish we could dance half as well with our own legs,” he added."
