00:00:00.406 --> 00:00:03.633
Hi everyone, thanks for tuning into this video.

00:00:03.633 --> 00:00:05.302
My name's India Harville,

00:00:05.302 --> 00:00:09.572
and I'm asking for money for 
an upcoming mixed abilities dance training

00:00:09.572 --> 00:00:11.438
I'm doing with Danceability.

00:00:11.438 --> 00:00:13.535
Mixed abilities dance is an art form

00:00:13.535 --> 00:00:16.203
that includes all types of people

00:00:16.203 --> 00:00:18.210
inside of the world of dance.

00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:19.735
From people who are Deaf,

00:00:19.735 --> 00:00:21.209
to people who are blind,

00:00:21.209 --> 00:00:23.539
to anyone with any kind of disability.

00:00:23.539 --> 00:00:25.403
So it's an amazing experience

00:00:25.403 --> 00:00:27.765
where everyone can be included.

00:00:27.765 --> 00:00:30.168
[MUSIC...]

00:00:37.583 --> 00:00:39.384
About 6 years ago

00:00:39.384 --> 00:00:43.056
I was diagnosed with something called 
Complex Migraines.

00:00:43.056 --> 00:00:46.356
My migraines are a little more intense 
than the average migraine,

00:00:46.356 --> 00:00:49.220
and they include seizures, paralysis,

00:00:49.220 --> 00:00:52.855
and other tough neurological symptoms.

00:00:52.855 --> 00:00:55.087
Before that, I loved dancing.

00:00:55.087 --> 00:00:57.687
It was my favourite thing to do in the world.

00:00:57.687 --> 00:01:00.989
And once I got sick, I couldn't do it.

00:01:00.989 --> 00:01:05.837
And all I wanted to do
was get back to dancing.

00:01:05.837 --> 00:01:07.561
And then I got a wheelchair.

00:01:07.561 --> 00:01:11.339
And I started going to classes in a wheelchair, 
and that was awesome.

00:01:11.339 --> 00:01:13.638
I was finally back in the classroom.

00:01:13.638 --> 00:01:16.605
But it didn't always work in some classes.

00:01:16.605 --> 00:01:20.773
Some classes weren't made for a dancer
who was using a wheelchair.

00:01:20.773 --> 00:01:24.003
And so, I had to find places where I could dance

00:01:24.003 --> 00:01:26.943
in my chair, and out of my chair.

00:01:26.943 --> 00:01:30.071
And that's when I discovered 
mixed abilities dance.

00:01:30.071 --> 00:01:34.941
I've had a wonderful time dancing with all kinds 
of dancers in the mixed abilities community.

00:01:34.941 --> 00:01:38.137
Deaf folks, blind folks, you name it.

00:01:38.137 --> 00:01:41.143
I'm actually in a company 
that does mixed abilities dance.

00:01:41.143 --> 00:01:44.480
So take a peek at this clip 
of our work in progress.

00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.807
[GROUP A CAPELLA SINGING...]

00:02:19.010 --> 00:02:20.572
So here are all the details.

00:02:20.572 --> 00:02:22.410
There are 2 parts to this training.

00:02:22.410 --> 00:02:26.148
One's in May, one's in December, 
both are in Austin Texas.

00:02:26.148 --> 00:02:29.220
Danceability -the company sponsoring the training-

00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:33.420
already gave me a scholarship for 
half the tuition. WOOHOO!! YES!

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:35.117
So that's halfway there.

00:02:35.117 --> 00:02:39.154
Now I need to raise $6,000 
to cover all of my other expenses.

00:02:39.354 --> 00:02:43.028
Now I need to raise the other $900 for tuition;

00:02:43.028 --> 00:02:46.535
then I'll also need 2 round trip tickets to Texas;

00:02:46.535 --> 00:02:49.698
I'll need to rent a car and be able to 
keep my wheelchair with me;

00:02:49.698 --> 00:02:51.628
I'll need housing while I'm there;

00:02:51.628 --> 00:02:57.366
I'll also need to make sure I can keep my 
very strict paleo diet that supports my health;

00:02:57.366 --> 00:03:00.101
and I'll need some money for my attendants

00:03:00.101 --> 00:03:01.861
who help me get ready to travel

00:03:01.861 --> 00:03:04.204
and who help me 
when I come home from traveling.

00:03:04.204 --> 00:03:06.615
Cause traveling is still very hard on my body.

00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:10.323
Any contribution you can make
will help so much.

00:03:10.323 --> 00:03:13.661
Because without your support, I won't be able 
to make this trip happen.

00:03:13.661 --> 00:03:16.656
So thank you for watching this video,
and have a great day.

00:03:16.656 --> 00:03:17.609
Bye!
