RHYTHM OF RESILIENCE

 

Every once in a while, a true life story emerges that demands to be told. One that defies logic, shatters prejudice, and exposes the undercurrents of corruption. It challenges the limits of human compassion, forcing the heart to reckon with the impossible. And yet, through love, resilience and sheer force of will, it proves that the unthinkable can become reality.

The George Velazquez story

Courage, Style and Love best describes George Velazquez. He has the courage to live life head on, the style to make everyone take notice and the love for people and dance. George brings you on his journey every time he takes the dance floor!


In 1994 George was run down in an alleyway  causing him to lose the lower part of his left leg. That accident would change his life forever leading to him, "Dancing out of the Dark".
