For 33-year-old Coco Choi Pak-yin and 24-year-old Crystal Lee Wing-wai, few experiences spark as much happiness as dancing at the Love 21 Foundation, a charity based in Hong Kong.
Both women are neurodivergent and participate in the foundation’s specially designed nutrition and sports programmes, which include dance classes. For them, dance has become far more than physical activity. It offers a setting to form connections and express themselves freely, while also building the self-assurance they need to perform publicly and share their talents with others.
“Compared with the past, she is far more confident and outgoing today,” said Lee Tak-wai, Crystal’s father.
