- The dance company SZENE 2WEI brings together performers with and without disabilities. Jörg, a dancer with Down syndrome, is training with the company. He wants to be a professional dancer. The company sees his talent rather than any disability.
The more varied the body language and expression of the individual dancers, the more interesting the artistic process - that’s the belief of the dance company SZENE 2WEI. The ensemble includes several members with Down syndrome and one woman who needs a wheelchair to get around. Those dancers with no disabilities also appreciate the open atmosphere, which contrasts strongly with their experience at other companies where pressure and rivalry often impede the search for the best artistic solution. The desire of everyone at the company is to leave behind labels like "disabled” or "normal”. Jörg Beese, who has Down syndrome, already sees himself as a professional dancer and hopes soon to be able to perform with other established dance companies. A report by Anna Marie Goretzki.

Thanks for exposing our work in such a wonderful way, we are very touched by the response of the reportage!
This channel is my finest discovery yet. I am not even bragging.
I love the humanity of that dance company. There's no one way of dancing and moving. If you want to dance, dance.
Extremely beautiful! Jörg is extremely courageous.
absolutely amazing. thank you for showcasing stories that are important to be shared
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the wonderful video. I loved watching the dance! It's really pure and nice to see them enjoy life. Keep it going and always be happy like you are now!
So beautiful and eye opening. You guys are so inspiring 🥰
hope he achieve his goals, and finds happiness and love.
Thank you for the topic I really appreciate your work about how to showcase their world and not to look pitiful thank you for it
Such good souls
Absolutely great!
Enjoyed that very much!
His eyes are gorgeous
This is wonderful.
Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Superrrrr. B mind-blowing
The dancers in this video dance a lot better than me!
People don’t dance enough these days
These guys look like professional dancers to me and should be accepted in larger performance companies.
💚💚💚💚💚💚
Good for Jorg!
I hope he never goes on "So You Think You Can Dance" though, those people are brutal... I honestly think people with mental health issues have been on that show, & they're brutal, what they say to them... Same with "American Idol", some of those people who think they can sing but are... Bad, let's just call it what it is... Probably have mental health issues. Yet people love watching those specials where all the rejects are bunched together on a single show... I guess it's how we treat people who don't LOOK like they have issues. 🤷♂️
I'm glad Jorg can follow his dreams.
The guy on the thumbnail is pure copy of Steven Smith (Australian cricketer)
Yes
I always thought that modern dancers have some disability and this video is the prove
All lives matter! Everyone!
They aren't disabled they are just special
@Mr Dominic nobody cares what you think
I'm disabled and it's okay to say "disabled". Being disabled isn't a shameful thing that we have to cover up with euphemisms. A lot of people actually consider it condescending to be called "special" ...enough with "special" and "handicapable", just say the word
@Mr Dominic Agreed!
i feel bad laughing at this
It s not funny. Or amusing. Or true. Leave disbled people alone will ya. Give em better houses, that is of use
material is interesting, voice of the narrator is irritating, makes the substance less significant (probably cultural thing in my case)
EWWWWW
Get out of here troll
You are the one who has problems!🤬
Wait do people get paid for this? It should be volunteer only or else there is capitalism involved!!!
