0:00:05.500,0:00:06.921
Hello my name's Bea.

0:00:07.071,0:00:08.730
Welcome to my world.

0:00:09.212,0:00:11.714
This is my family.

0:00:12.897,0:00:15.503
This is a picture that my [br]sister Maddy drew.

0:00:15.503,0:00:18.283
She's away at camp[br]at the moment.

0:00:18.283,0:00:21.047
It's called The Underwater Mellon Man.

0:00:22.860,0:00:24.567
This is my room.

0:00:25.699,0:00:29.465
This is one of my toy's[br]called Lightening.

0:00:30.206,0:00:33.164
I like to read lots of books.

0:00:33.668,0:00:38.785
Coraline is my best because she[br]is very strong and brave.

0:00:43.716,0:00:48.990
In the last four years, I feel better now.

0:00:49.330,0:00:53.726
I can be free to be me [br]and I can be myself.

0:00:54.705,0:00:57.168
I can be Bea.

0:01:10.295,0:01:14.252
I'm going to show you[br]my most interesting thing.

0:01:14.722,0:01:17.983
I have a thing called Arthogryposis.

0:01:19.371,0:01:24.553
It means that my feet and [br]ankles were twisted.

0:01:24.893,0:01:30.596
This is what I call the inside house[br]and these are mum's plants.

0:01:32.374,0:01:36.688
I have Arthogryposis and it's[br]in my hands too.

0:01:37.025,0:01:40.827
But I get around really good[br]with my hands as well.

0:01:41.248,0:01:43.853
Arthogryposis is a condition[br]that affects the joints.

0:01:43.853,0:01:48.033
And it starts to make it's[br]presence known in utero.

0:01:48.463,0:01:52.852
Bea has amazingly gotten away with[br]only have her hands and feet affected.

0:01:52.852,0:01:56.733
Usually it's a whole [br]combination of body parts.

0:01:57.183,0:02:00.474
Feet, hands, elbows, shoulders,[br]hips and knees.

0:02:01.183,0:02:03.228
And sometimes curvature [br]of the spine.

0:02:03.598,0:02:08.683
So limited movement of the arms,[br]possibly internally rotated shoulders.

0:02:09.204,0:02:13.094
Bea's the only one I've come across[br]that's only feet and hands.

0:02:13.884,0:02:18.378
Bea: And here is the Tarzan swing.

0:02:20.188,0:02:30.841
Before my operation, I had[br]no stability in my feet.

0:02:31.951,0:02:34.667
Or any balance.

0:02:36.174,0:02:47.248
And it would take a long time[br]to do running or canter, or gallop.

0:02:48.363,0:02:51.931
Or whatever I had to do[br]I couldn't do.

0:02:52.626,0:02:56.316
When I look back at footage of Bea[br]walking around and playing outside,

0:02:56.316,0:02:58.981
I remember that feeling[br]that I had...

0:02:58.981,0:03:01.941
It was such a horrible feeling [br]watching her move,

0:03:01.941,0:03:04.981
and thinking about how painful [br]and wrong it looked

0:03:04.981,0:03:08.371
and must feel for her body.

0:03:11.313,0:03:17.122
When I was four, I couldn't walk [br]as well as other people could.

0:03:18.945,0:03:23.650
And people use to say that my[br]feet were like jelly beans.

0:03:23.650,0:03:29.672
They thought that we could[br]get new legs and new feet.

0:03:34.635,0:03:38.203
Her feet aren't functional.[br]They cause her pain.

0:03:38.203,0:03:42.150
They don't look very [br]comfortable at all to walk on.

0:03:42.150,0:03:45.208
And they're damaging[br]the rest of her body.

0:03:50.756,0:03:54.486
Because she has no bend in[br]her foot to get herself forward,

0:03:54.486,0:03:58.269
she twists her hips and [br]so she sashays on tiptoes.

0:03:58.269,0:04:01.668
Recently she's started to[br]get pain in her hip.

0:04:07.193,0:04:09.646
If she's on her feet a lot[br]during the day...

0:04:09.646,0:04:16.097
then at night it will come back with a [br]vengeance and she'll be really sore.

0:04:16.097,0:04:19.252
And she will have broken sleep.

0:04:21.442,0:04:23.542
When she was seven days old...

0:04:23.542,0:04:27.185
an orthopaedic surgeon put [br]her in full leg casts.

0:04:27.990,0:04:31.428
When she was four months old,[br]she had a tendon release surgery.

0:04:31.428,0:04:34.863
Then immediately after that [br]she went into DB boots.

0:04:35.593,0:04:39.202
It was really painful because I had to [br]push her feet down into right angle.

0:04:39.202,0:04:41.742
So there was lots of screaming.

0:04:42.944,0:04:46.538
When she was two, she [br]had a huge surgery,

0:04:46.538,0:04:50.755
which was a total foot[br]reconstruction on both sides.

0:04:50.755,0:04:53.900
They took the cast off and she[br]couldn't even place her foot in my hand.

0:04:53.900,0:04:55.923
It was so sensitive.

0:04:55.923,0:04:59.215
And five minutes later after that [br]appointment we were sent to orthotics

0:04:59.215,0:05:01.633
to force her feet back in those boots.

0:05:04.067,0:05:06.620
And so we would put them[br]on at 9pm at night,

0:05:06.620,0:05:10.313
she'd scream in pain until[br]about 5am in the morning.

0:05:10.313,0:05:12.911
Then we'd take them off and then[br]she's sleep for four hours.

0:05:12.911,0:05:15.147
And then she would have a four [br]hour sleep in the afternoon.

0:05:15.147,0:05:17.943
And at 9pm we'd put them on [br]again and there'd be screaming.

0:05:19.361,0:05:22.948
So when she was finally able to put [br]weight on them and they were flat.

0:05:22.948,0:05:25.396
It was for three weeks that[br]she was able to wear shoes

0:05:25.396,0:05:28.115
and they were flat and then[br]they started to go back again.

0:05:36.125,0:05:40.549
After four years of struggling[br]with surgeries and her pain,

0:05:40.549,0:05:45.648
also realising that she'll probably[br]end up with badly damaged hips,

0:05:45.648,0:05:48.413
having curvature of the spine,[br]benig in a wheelchair,

0:05:48.413,0:05:54.702
being really inactive and being an [br]angry person who's always in pain.

0:05:55.442,0:05:58.882
We just thought that surely[br]amputation would be a better option.

0:05:59.317,0:06:01.411
Bea: You get them on like this.

0:06:02.952,0:06:08.813
I really like them because [br]they look cool with my skirt.

0:06:11.544,0:06:13.768
Let's play hide and seek.

0:06:19.037,0:06:22.017
It's a big decision to make...

0:06:22.017,0:06:24.730
but it's a big decision to decide [br]to have a child.

0:06:24.730,0:06:28.896
You have to make a decision and this is [br]the decision that we're deciding to make.

0:06:28.896,0:06:33.848
You'd be inhuman to feel like it[br]was easy and to not have doubts.

0:06:39.402,0:06:45.698
By doing the amputation,[br]hopefully it's a one off thing,

0:06:45.698,0:06:50.581
and then she gets the prosthetics[br]and then she has a great childhood.

0:06:50.581,0:06:56.705
She'll be more able bodied [br]with prosthetics than without.

0:07:57.821,0:07:59.611
Have a good day at school.

0:07:59.971,0:08:00.689
See ya.

0:08:00.689,0:08:01.529
Love you.

0:08:01.529,0:08:03.111
Love you too.

0:08:06.341,0:08:07.621
Bye dad.

0:08:12.690,0:08:16.608
Socially, I think that Bea [br]sometimes struggles...

0:08:16.608,0:08:20.082
because all through kindy and [br]through that time of her life...

0:08:20.082,0:08:22.112
she was always in pain.

0:08:22.112,0:08:27.597
So to play freely it's [br]a distracting pain.

0:08:30.602,0:08:35.378
Bea: At school I feel confidant and [br]not confidant at the same time.

0:08:35.378,0:08:38.598
Like I'm in between.

0:08:45.493,0:08:49.805
In school there's this friend[br]called Kimberly,

0:08:49.805,0:08:53.545
and she makes me so happy.

0:08:54.068,0:08:56.038
Good morning Bea.

0:08:57.090,0:08:58.975
Have a lovely day.

0:09:00.040,0:09:04.231
Kimberly is my best friend[br]that I can remember.

0:09:04.998,0:09:07.758
Also are Makayla and Jasmine.

0:09:19.431,0:09:23.600
Kimberly and Bea met when [br]Kimberly came into class...

0:09:23.600,0:09:26.383
and her desk was put[br]facing Bea's desk.

0:09:26.383,0:09:29.402
Bea said that they [br]looked at each other...

0:09:29.402,0:09:31.373
and Bea saw Kimberly's[br]hearing aides...

0:09:31.373,0:09:32.999
and Kimberly looked [br]at Bea's feet.

0:09:32.999,0:09:35.422
And then Kimberly said,[br]"We're made for each other."[br]

0:09:39.658,0:09:42.270
Kimberly is very protective of Bea,

0:09:42.270,0:09:45.017
and sometimes she comes out[br]with really wonderful things like...

0:09:45.017,0:09:50.065
"You can play with me but you just [br]be yourself and do what you want to do."

0:09:50.065,0:09:51.332
Things like that.

0:09:59.896,0:10:03.921
Bea: In the playground when[br]I play with my friends

0:10:03.921,0:10:07.611
I feel like a team, like in the group.

0:10:07.611,0:10:12.117
And I feel like I can do[br]anything with them.

0:10:15.519,0:10:22.162
Her strength is nothing I've ever seen [br]before in an adult or a child.

0:10:24.455,0:10:26.585
She biked to school...

0:10:26.585,0:10:30.288
she was determined to bike to[br]school when she was six.

0:10:30.288,0:10:35.366
And she was sweating and her[br]face was really serious.

0:10:35.802,0:10:38.999
And she was riding this little[br]bike with trainer wheels

0:10:38.999,0:10:41.584
and it was chunky concrete.

0:10:41.584,0:10:44.138
And I was saying to her, [br]"Are you alright?"

0:10:44.138,0:10:45.785
And she was just saying,[br]"I'm great."

0:10:45.785,0:10:47.455
And she biked the whole [br]way to school.

0:10:47.455,0:10:49.686
She would have been so [br]sore and awkward...

0:10:49.686,0:10:53.069
but she refused to stop.

0:10:57.003,0:10:59.743
The thing that I like about[br]Napier and Hawkes Bay

0:10:59.743,0:11:04.267
is that there are heaps of shops[br]that you can go shopping in.

0:11:04.267,0:11:06.170
That's my favourite part.

0:11:07.230,0:11:09.803
Inflatable World is my favourite place.

0:11:09.803,0:11:14.042
I've been there it's very fun.

0:11:14.612,0:11:18.481
But I hate it when I have to race [br]against my friend to climb up.

0:11:18.481,0:11:20.325
I always lose.

0:11:21.215,0:11:22.245
Same.

0:11:25.135,0:11:30.066
Having no feet feels like...

0:11:34.367,0:11:41.848
like I have no things [br]to stable me up.

0:11:42.860,0:11:49.356
Because I always wobbly[br]a bit when I stand still.

0:11:49.726,0:11:54.487
So I can't be stable.

0:11:55.258,0:11:57.194
It feels sad doesn't it.

0:11:57.194,0:11:58.493
Hmmm.

0:11:59.598,0:12:03.570
But it also feels exciting[br]because I run quite fast.

0:12:03.570,0:12:05.154
Yeah you do.

0:12:12.557,0:12:14.755
Kimberly: My flavour is boysenberry.[br]What's yours?

0:12:14.755,0:12:20.258
Bea: My flavour is Mute, it's chocolate [br]chip and it's a double scoop!

0:12:20.258,0:12:23.230
And cookies and cream.

0:12:23.230,0:12:26.106
Yum it tastes delicious.

0:12:28.345,0:12:30.935
What are you going to [br]be when you grow up?

0:12:30.935,0:12:33.453
I am going to be hairdresser.

0:12:33.453,0:12:37.218
I think I'm going to be [br]a fashion designer.

0:12:37.218,0:12:39.792
Like design clothes[br]and sell them.

0:12:40.226,0:12:42.281
We can work together.

0:12:42.521,0:12:45.465
Yeah I could do the hair[br]and you do fashion.

0:12:46.345,0:12:47.968
Fashion for fashion.

0:12:47.968,0:12:49.212
(Laughs)

0:12:55.335,0:12:59.400
Bea: When I was four, my [br]mum told me a story

0:12:59.400,0:13:04.446
to help me understand what was [br]going to happen to my legs.

0:13:12.760,0:13:14.365
Are you going to be[br]the girl in the story?

0:13:14.365,0:13:15.260
Yeah.

0:13:16.367,0:13:20.035
Once upon a time there [br]was a big giant man.

0:13:20.035,0:13:22.164
And he made everything.

0:13:22.164,0:13:26.847
He made all the cars, all the plants and [br]the pets and all of the people.

0:13:26.847,0:13:30.113
One day he was in the middle[br]of making a little girl...

0:13:30.113,0:13:31.367
called Bea.

0:13:31.367,0:13:35.467
Called Bea and he heard a really[br]loud banging noise outside.

0:13:35.467,0:13:39.586
He quickly went and rushed outside.

0:13:39.586,0:13:42.053
Then the little girl thought [br]she'd like to get up [br]

0:13:42.053,0:13:43.923
and look at what happened[br]outside too.

0:13:43.923,0:13:47.941
And when she got up and tried [br]to walk she discovered

0:13:47.941,0:13:52.721
that he hadn't finished her off properly [br]and she couldn't walk properly.

0:13:52.721,0:13:55.906
And then one day her mum[br]and dad said to her...

0:13:55.906,0:13:57.988
"Guess what?"

0:13:57.988,0:14:03.647
"The doctor said that he can[br]take off your feet and get new ones."

0:14:03.647,0:14:05.675
Build you knew ones.

0:14:05.675,0:14:07.989
New ones.

0:14:08.239,0:14:15.107
They went to the hospital and the [br]little girl had some medicine

0:14:15.107,0:14:19.291
and then she fell asleep.

0:14:19.291,0:14:22.117
When she woke up she looked[br]under the blankets

0:14:22.117,0:14:24.865
there were no feet at[br]the end of her legs.

0:14:24.865,0:14:26.400
Do you know what[br]she thought then?

0:14:26.400,0:14:27.194
What?

0:14:27.194,0:14:30.029
She felt a little bit worried

0:14:30.029,0:14:33.712
and then she remembered[br]what that meant.

0:14:33.712,0:14:38.820
That meant that she was[br]getting new feet.

0:14:56.217,0:14:59.978
I don't think that there's any question [br]that anyone could answer,

0:14:59.978,0:15:04.306
or anything anyone could say that would [br]make me feel 100% fine about it.

0:15:04.306,0:15:08.656
But I think there would be [br]something unusual about you...

0:15:08.656,0:15:13.823
if you could feel 100% fine about[br]someone cutting off your child's feet.

0:15:15.052,0:15:20.427
For some people, amputating her feet may [br]seem like an incredibly dramatic way

0:15:20.427,0:15:26.653
of coping with the situation when they[br]may not see the alternative as being so bad.

0:15:26.920,0:15:28.355
Hello Grandpa.

0:15:29.042,0:15:35.240
I'll leave you in two minutes[br]when you go hunting for leopards.

0:15:35.950,0:15:37.145
Goodbye.

0:15:47.383,0:15:48.885
Arggh!

0:16:29.467,0:16:32.241
These are my stumps.

0:16:32.658,0:16:35.728
And I got new feet.

0:16:36.998,0:16:40.712
Amazingly the difference in her,[br]not just physically but psychologically

0:16:40.712,0:16:44.929
from the minute they were gone[br]has been incredible.

0:16:44.929,0:16:49.635
Two days after she's come out from under [br]general and having her feet amputated.

0:16:49.635,0:16:51.736
I lifted the covers up and [br]there were no feet there

0:16:51.736,0:16:53.808
and there was blood [br]on the plaster cast.

0:16:53.808,0:16:56.792
And I felt a bit shaky about it.

0:16:57.192,0:16:59.688
Her feet were a huge[br]part of my life.

0:16:59.688,0:17:01.927
I use to fall asleep[br]holding them.

0:17:01.927,0:17:05.342
Every night I'd be on my[br]knees, holding her feet.

0:17:05.342,0:17:09.401
They represented her to me[br]and they were gone.

0:17:13.166,0:17:15.792
She lifted the blankets up[br]and she looked at me.

0:17:15.792,0:17:20.121
And I was so nervous and really aware of [br]how I was going to respond to her

0:17:20.121,0:17:22.289
and where that would[br]lead in her mind.

0:17:22.289,0:17:25.130
And she looked at me and she said, [br]"Mum I've got no feet!"

0:17:25.130,0:17:26.970
It was like Christmas.

0:17:32.053,0:17:35.752
Really soon you're going to be able to [br]run and dance like that.

0:18:07.752,0:18:10.274
I'm going to get my new feet!

0:18:14.095,0:18:19.003
It was really moving the first[br]time I saw Bea walk on legs

0:18:19.003,0:18:21.530
because I hadn't imagined [br]seeing her with feet.

0:18:21.530,0:18:25.186
It was really strange [br]and really amazing.

0:18:25.186,0:18:28.689
And I think for her it[br]was amazing as well.

0:18:44.741,0:18:49.304
First we put on a sock and[br]that always goes on first.

0:18:49.979,0:18:53.993
And then a liner that's[br]soft and spongey.

0:18:56.685,0:18:59.052
That will slide all the way in.

0:19:03.449,0:19:05.247
Look at you!

0:19:05.387,0:19:07.009
Try and take a few steps.

0:19:08.069,0:19:09.892
Have a walk Bea.

0:19:17.501,0:19:20.185
I'm going to walk the [br]whole way over there.

0:19:28.008,0:19:30.091
I'm not puffed out.

0:19:45.369,0:19:48.120
I can't believe how [br]tall she is.

0:19:48.120,0:19:51.090
It's way more overwhelming[br]than I thought it would be.

0:19:51.090,0:19:52.174
Way more.

0:19:53.252,0:19:57.151
Because she's never ever[br]walked like that.

0:19:57.151,0:19:59.812
It's better.

0:20:00.755,0:20:03.104
She's never had feet[br]that were that shape.

0:20:05.307,0:20:08.552
I think she really enjoys[br]pushing herself.

0:20:10.276,0:20:15.968
So having prosthetics she[br]pushes herself in different ways.

0:20:18.860,0:20:21.884
She would practice walking uphill[br]using just the tippy toes of the feet.

0:20:21.884,0:20:26.565
And trusting that even though they weren't [br]her feet they would still carry her.

0:20:26.565,0:20:30.190
So she could do more.

0:20:49.115,0:20:51.638
The horse riding for Bea[br]has been huge.

0:20:51.638,0:20:53.456
It's not just the riding[br]of the horse,

0:20:53.456,0:20:56.455
but being able to have a relationship [br]with animals in general.

0:20:56.455,0:20:58.660
Hi welcome back.

0:20:59.081,0:21:01.000
Are you ready to ride?

0:21:01.000,0:21:02.697
Yes.

0:21:05.677,0:21:10.121
Dyon, the riding instructor has[br]become a really special person to Bea.

0:21:10.121,0:21:15.822
The relationship that they have[br]and the constantly evident belief

0:21:15.822,0:21:18.584
that Dyon has in Bea's ability.

0:21:19.425,0:21:21.382
You've cantered on three[br]horses now eh?

0:21:21.382,0:21:22.514
Yes.

0:21:22.514,0:21:27.503
Johnty, Georgie...[br]and Fred.

0:21:29.467,0:21:32.238
At Riding for the Disabled[br]we have a huge range of people

0:21:32.238,0:21:34.752
that come to us with [br]a range of issues.

0:21:34.752,0:21:37.849
Bea's realised that this is[br]something she can do

0:21:37.849,0:21:39.064
the same as anybody else.

0:21:39.064,0:21:41.942
It doesn't depend on having feet,[br]she doesn't need them

0:21:41.942,0:21:44.436
and she's not at any disadvantage.

0:21:46.504,0:21:49.374
Bea's relationship with the[br]horses is really good.

0:21:49.374,0:21:53.918
She's very compassionate and thinks a lot[br]about what her horses are enjoying.

0:21:58.523,0:22:01.144
Fred hasn't had any work today[br]you're his first rider.

0:22:01.144,0:22:02.952
Do you think he's looking[br]forward to it?

0:22:02.952,0:22:04.876
Yes.

0:22:12.177,0:22:14.352
So go through this gap.

0:22:15.385,0:22:16.430
Come on.

0:22:20.578,0:22:23.405
Get him into a nicer[br]walk than that Bea.

0:22:24.118,0:22:28.569
When I'm riding a horse, I feel[br]nervous, free and happy.

0:22:30.385,0:22:33.129
Riding a horse is hard for me...

0:22:33.129,0:22:40.784
because my legs aren't stable enough[br]to balance on the horse.

0:22:44.117,0:22:49.871
When I kick I want the horse to[br]realize that I want to walk.

0:22:50.411,0:22:54.215
And whenever I kick,[br]it canters.

0:22:59.348,0:23:01.602
A while ago she was[br]riding in a saddle,

0:23:01.602,0:23:04.237
but she found it really difficult[br]because it didn't work with the stirrups.

0:23:04.237,0:23:07.347
And riding with her prosthetic legs[br]didn't work for her either

0:23:07.347,0:23:10.397
because she couldn't feel what[br]she was doing with them.

0:23:11.794,0:23:15.185
So a bare back pad is a[br]better option for her.

0:23:15.185,0:23:18.344
They're good for developing their seat[br]and their core strength and balance,

0:23:18.344,0:23:20.642
which Bea will definitely need.

0:23:44.150,0:23:46.291
(Sings)

0:23:48.721,0:23:52.069
Bea: Thane has been my [br]friend for two years.

0:23:52.923,0:23:56.230
And he's made me a painting[br]of a bird and a jug

0:23:56.230,0:23:58.420
and now he's made me a song.

0:23:58.420,0:23:59.575
(Sings)

0:23:59.575,0:24:01.859
Amazingly young lady called Bea

0:24:01.859,0:24:05.526
was an eight year old twin amputee.

0:24:05.526,0:24:09.418
She said I don't need feet[br]to make me complete.

0:24:09.418,0:24:15.350
I can still kick your ass[br]with my knee.

0:24:17.345,0:24:22.924
Bea: When I was dancing with Thane[br]and singing the song with him

0:24:22.924,0:24:28.201
I felt free and I feel like[br]I can do anything

0:24:28.201,0:24:30.017
and I'm ready to dance.

0:24:32.400,0:24:35.655
Thane: Try putting the ball down[br]and spinning as fast as you can.

0:24:35.655,0:24:36.206
(Sings)

0:24:36.206,0:24:37.050
Kicking that ass

0:24:37.050,0:24:38.249
Kicking that ass

0:24:38.249,0:24:40.545
Now without the ball.

0:24:40.545,0:24:42.692
Just you spinning on your feet.

0:24:42.692,0:24:43.672
Kicking that ass

0:24:43.672,0:24:46.620
Kicking that ass.

0:24:52.995,0:24:57.635
A personal thing that I[br]want to do is dance.

0:24:58.535,0:25:01.334
And I really feel like[br]I can do it.

0:25:01.334,0:25:03.908
Nothing is going to stop me.

0:25:05.595,0:25:07.742
There are two things[br]that Bea does

0:25:07.742,0:25:11.527
where I get to see her[br]free of any worry.

0:25:11.527,0:25:14.084
One of them is when she's [br]in the pool swimming.

0:25:14.084,0:25:16.766
The other one is when we [br]have music playing

0:25:16.766,0:25:19.466
and we're dancing together[br]in the lounge.

0:25:19.466,0:25:23.296
But she also has[br]that desire to perform.

0:25:23.621,0:25:24.857
Hi Bea how are you?

0:25:24.857,0:25:25.788
Good.

0:25:25.788,0:25:27.631
My name's Leanne[br]nice to meet you.

0:25:27.631,0:25:30.255
This is Corrine, studio director.

0:25:30.255,0:25:34.668
And Madison, senior dancer[br]and Corrine's daughter.

0:25:36.869,0:25:39.304
We're going to start[br]with some bar work.

0:25:39.699,0:25:44.111
Come a little closer and[br]stand up nice and tall.

0:25:45.467,0:25:50.530
Take our right foot and take it forward [br]and then bring it back.

0:25:51.617,0:25:53.877
I really want to see how [br]far she'll go

0:25:53.877,0:25:55.435
and what she can do[br]with this dancing

0:25:55.435,0:25:58.846
because she's got the [br]determination physically

0:25:58.846,0:26:01.861
and she can really focus[br]on pushing herself.

0:26:03.050,0:26:04.713
Bring your right leg up

0:26:04.713,0:26:09.265
and when it lowers down squeeze [br]your stomach nice and tight.

0:26:14.770,0:26:17.695
Bend your right leg.

0:26:19.595,0:26:24.183
Down, 5, 6, 7, 8.

0:26:28.052,0:26:31.442
It's been a really good experience[br]having been to the studio today

0:26:31.442,0:26:34.441
and looking at what[br]she's capable of.

0:26:34.441,0:26:36.335
She's a very confident [br]young lady.

0:26:36.335,0:26:40.349
We would love to help[br]her grow in her dance

0:26:40.349,0:26:43.219
and her enjoyment[br]of movement.

0:26:45.662,0:26:47.918
Two steps together[br]out to the side.

0:26:47.918,0:26:52.286
So right, together and[br]finding that centre.

0:26:54.663,0:26:59.592
Right, together, swing and clap[br]and swing and clap.

0:27:03.659,0:27:09.032
Bea: One day I would like[br]to be doing tap dancing.

0:27:09.932,0:27:15.970
And I could be in a concert[br]and everybody would look at me.

0:27:19.724,0:27:26.269
Dancing it feels like I'm free and I can [br]do anything with anyone.

0:27:29.080,0:27:32.311
I wish Kimberly could [br]see me right now.

0:27:36.258,0:27:39.437
I have no doubt whatsoever[br]that Bea will grow up to be

0:27:39.437,0:27:43.480
a really strong, confident[br]and powerful woman.

0:27:43.480,0:27:46.298
And do whatever she wants.

0:27:53.229,0:27:55.508
You know what I really[br]want to do now?

0:27:55.508,0:27:56.431
What?

0:27:56.431,0:27:58.207
I want to hug you.

0:27:58.207,0:28:00.335
Me too.

0:28:03.587,0:28:06.540
Where are we going to get [br]our ice cream?

0:28:06.540,0:28:07.547
There.

0:28:09.334,0:28:11.874
Yeah!!

0:28:12.814,0:28:14.407
Ice cream!!
