But unlike many would-be dancers, Eva has cerebral palsy.

At last her dream of dancing has come true.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "Eva's narration brims with elation as together they "create space, / create shape, / create dance," culminating in a triumphant performance. . .
