Our Dance Superstar! 🏆
Mariah, who attends our Whitegates respite for adults, recently won her first dance trophy after an amazing performance! ⭐
Mariah discovered her passion for dance after she started to attend Whitegates a couple of years ago. With her very own spacious apartment and our support, she began practicing dance routines.
After a nervous start at Whitegates, Mariah now has her very own dance group, and beams with joy as she raises her trophy loud and proud.
We're all so proud of her progress. 🥰
