Practicing your repertoire is essential for anyone who looks to become a dancer. After all, dancing requires incredible skill and constant repetition. Yet sometimes, practice doesn’t matter when a top-notch dancer comes in to give the most passionate performance of their life and steal the show.
Watch this teenager get a special surprise dance partner as she practices her routine. She’s instantly shown up, but the reason why is pretty astounding.
Scout Hoffmeier was practicing her dance routine when her sister, Audrey Nethery, a 6-year-old with a rare disease called diamond blackfan anemia, came in to join her.

Audrey was diagnosed with DBA at a very early age and deals with it every day of her life. People with DBA can’t create new red blood cells, so they need to rely on blood transfusions to stay alive.
But Audrey isn’t letting her disease stop her from dancing and singing her little heart out!
Unfortunately it was only a matter of time before she wanted to sing a Bieber song…. Lol! Enjoy!!

It’s so awesome and inspiring to see a little girl overcoming her illness and have such a great big sister who supports her. She doesn’t treat her as someone with a disease; she treats her as the most amazing sister one can have!
