Cute Little Girl With Dwarfism Dances Adorably To “Shake It Off”

October is Dwarfism Awareness month and in lined with this, here’s a video, which I believe, all of you will appreciate. 

 

Rilee is a little five-year-old girl. Little not only because she’s only five years old, but also because of her body stature. She has an in-born pathological condition called Achondroplasia. It’s a kind of Dwarfism that is characterized by having short unproportioned limbs which is the most common as opposed to that of the midgets with well-proportioned limbs. There are times that they are made fun of or ridiculed. This may be the reason why many of them tend to be shy or reserved. 

 

Nowadays, people with this condition are not called dwarfs anymore but little people. They may not be as physically normal as we are, but they are definitely mentally normal just like anybody else. 

 

This lovely little girl, small as she may be, doesn’t take it seriously as long as she’s enjoying her life. It doesn’t stop her from doing what she loves to do, and that is dancing. Whenever she hears Taylor Swift’s song “Shake It Off,” something in her suddenly comes alive. She stands up and literally shakes it off, dancing until the music ends. 

Her mom, knowing that she loves this song, played it and started to film her dance performance. She might have been tired so she stopped a little bit, but still continued afterwards 

 

This nice video was not only created to display Rilee’s enthusiasm, but to spread dwarfism awareness as well, in a sense. It’s one of the perfect ways of recognizing our little folks who also have something better to contribute to our society as we do, because they're no different after all.
