This dancer, who suffers from a rare condition, amazes the masters in the revolution

Dance is beyond physical abilities, the stimulus that moves your body to send emotions is stronger than anything. This is the message that Luca Paduveli wanted to tell during the second round of the Logilix Sunday evening Revolution.

A professional dancer for over twenty years, Lacylex is known around the world despite being physically handicapped due to arthrocryposis. The 36-year-old dancer sees participation in the show as a way of proving to everyone that if you want to do something, you are going to find the evidence to do it.

“Dancing is for everyone. It’s not necessarily a technique, but a greater expression of itself. I want to give a voice to encourage everyone with a disability to dance,” he said.

As a teenager, he started with skateboarding. “I was doing skateboarding on my knees. I created my own style to do different shapes. But after surgery to adjust the angle of my legs, I could no longer. Skateboarding was like the escape route because it was the hardest time of my life. Friends started doing break dance with me. Taken to a competition in Washington DC.I loved dancing so much.

I was especially worried about not being able to keep my daughter like a normal dad. I had to go downstairs to hug her, and I started to feel embarrassed. My wife gave me self-confidence again.

But this dark period allowed him to reconnect with the reasons for dancing. “Even though we are different, it’s not a negative. We all have strengths with our differences. You have to take the time to find them.”

For his revolutionary moment, Lacylex chose a very strong image. He was simply standing without his crutch, which Jean-Marc Conarex said in tears: “Life does not give gifts. You danced your life. You are a wonderful creature.”

I thought it would be nice for everyone to hear the sound of my feet. This is dangerous and very difficult because music gives energy when you dance.
