Tour de Force is a collaboration between Milwaukee Ballet and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Professional ballet dancers from Milwaukee Ballet would join eager patients and physical therapists from Children's to strengthen and inspire these wonderful young people, helping them through their physical and mental disabilities by teaching them ballet. This remains one of the most enjoyable and powerful projects I've been a part of. My photos from this project were displayed before a series of Milwaukee Ballet shows in 2016.
