Savannah Barish- I'm Possible!
This is Savannah Barish, a beautiful 9 year old dancer from Artistic Fusion in Denver, Colorado. Her and her family were involved in a horrible car accident on July 16th. Savannah has a C3-C4 spinal injury and has a very long road to recovery ahead of her.
Savannah's favorite competiton dances this year were Rather Be and Queen Bee. Her sweet smile and blue eyes light up the stage! You may have crossed paths with her this year at 24/7, JUMP, Nuvo, NYCDA, MOVE, KAR, Adrenaline, Starpower, Showstoppers and Hall of Fame Dance Challenge.
We will not stop believing we will see her dance again, but right now the family needs our support. Please consider donating to this beautiful family who needs the support of our community so much right now.
Thank you!

Big day in Savvy land! She passed her swallow test today- that means she can finally start eating and drinking real food! Her progress has been amazing! Thank you all for the support and love!
All smiles eating ice cream!
My daughter(age 16) had a similar injury last year, fractured her C5, they spoke about fusing her C4 & 5 together but they decided not to, so she spent 3 months in a hard brace pretty much 23/24hrs a day and was allowed to go back to ballet, started Yoga exercises for core strength & balance, now 9months after her accident she has all movement & does most of her dance classes except for Contemporary & Acro, All being well she will be back competing next year! It can be a very long emotional road, but patience, determination, strength & love will get Savannah back dancing, I sure! xxx
