Jack Barlow: Breaking Boundaries as First Cincinnati Ballet Dancer with Down Syndrome

December 16, 2016

After four years in Ballet Moves, a dance program for children with Down Syndrome and Cerebral palsy created by Cincinnati Ballet and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Jack has grown to love dance. His enthusiasm and hard work earned him a role on stage with Cincinnati Ballet during The Nutcracker, making Jack the first dancer with down syndrome to dance with the company!

Congratulations Jack and welcome to the stage!
