Bob Gregory begins his story with a beautiful dance, warm and welcoming. The kind of dance that makes it very clear that he dances with a sense of honesty and pride that cannot be faked, his passion lives in every move he makes. As Bob begins talking to the audience, we soon gather that his is to come level deaf. He then puts in his hearing aids and begins to speak and sign his story. Bob's story is one wrapped up in the love his mother had for him, the hate his father had and how both of those things were wrapped up in his choice to be a dancer. This is a story that focuses on how so many young men don't feel supported by male figures in their lives because they simply choose to dance. For Bob, his mother encouraged him and he excelled. He goes on to tell the story of how he lost his hearing at the hands of his father and how that affected his dance, self-worth and feelings about his father.

But this is a story of triumph that shows the audience that you can go through trauma and come out on the other side still living in your truth and still having the ability to love what brings you joy. Bob reminds us that if we have a passion, we should follow it because when you are broken and trying to gather all of the pieces to put yourself back together it may be that love that walks with you through it. A story of a young person losing the most important support system in their lives and watching them climb their way out of the darkness to stand on stage again and dance.
