Luca ‘Lazylegz’ Patuelli teaches kids with disabilities to dance

Luca "Lazylegz" Patuelli was born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, a muscle disorder which affects his legs. He cannot walk without crutches.

That hasn't stopped the Montreal-born 29-year-old man from becoming one of Canada's most famous breakdancers. The b-boy even headlined at the 2010 Winter Paralympics opening ceremony in Vancouver.

Patuelli, who is one of five members in the international breakdancing group Ill-Abilities, now shares his passion with kids with disabilities at a Montreal rehabilitation facility.

"In life, anything can be possible — as long as we don't create any excuses along the way," he tells them.

"Whenever I have free time I try to visit the rehab centre and just spend some time with the kids," Patuelli tells CBC News, recalling his own childhood experiences at the hospital, where a volunteer clown's visits "were priceless because that distracted me from what I was feeling in the hospital."

Patuelli wants to teach kids to express themselves through dance, regardless of their physical limitations.

"Anyone can create a movement and make it theirs," he says. "It's all about adapting yourself."
