A local ballet student is sharing her passion by giving back.

Amelia Vallillo - a Connecticut School of Dance student - is teaching kids and adults with disabilities from Abilis classical ballet.

The class was held at Grace Farms in New Canaan.

Amelia has volunteered with the Dance 4 All Ability program and saw how the program brought joy to her students and wanted more kids and young adults with disabilities to benefit from ballet too.

Amelia was inspired by her uncle who suffers from cerebral palsy.
