No two dances were the same. Each one was beautiful because it was different―just like how Sydney’s body was also beautiful because it was different.
Â
Sydney Mesher was born with ten toes and five fingers. But it was her toes that her mom noticed first. “I can tell she’s going to be a dancer,” she said.
Â
And it turned out Mom was right―after years of hard work, Sydney eventually danced her way onto the famous stage of Radio City Music Hall, becoming the first Rockette with a visible disability.
