Emily Manning is a “superstar” ballet student at the Joan Denise Moriarty School of Dance in Cork. She also has Down Syndrome, and to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 2021, the school created this gorgeous video with Emily and some of her friends to help fundraise and create awareness for Down Syndrome Cork.
This dance and video was created by Karena Walsh. A fundraising page was set up at www.idonate.ie/JDMSD.
The video won an abundance of praise on social media.
“Just beautiful. Emily you are amazing. The locations are picture perfect. A credit to all involved,” wrote one viewer.
“Absolutely beautiful, what a joy to watch, brings so much joy to my day,” said another.
