Dance can be transformative in many ways, especially for breast cancer survivors. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’d like to celebrate by taking a look at the inspiring stories of women who used dance to recover from breast cancer. Many of them had long, hard journeys, but with a lot of strength and a little bit of fate, they are still standing to tell their stories today. Find out about these women’s stories and how they are celebrating life through dance:
