(2020·沈阳市教学质量监测一)Since the age of three，Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer.That ambition nearly ended one night in 2010.Hill，then a 17yearold high school senior in Pacific Grove，California，was in a car accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down.For most people，that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career.For Hill，it was the beginning.“I wanted to prove to my community—and to myself—that I was still ‘normal’，” she told Teen Vogue.“Whatever ‘normal’ meant.”
“Normal” for her meant dancing，so Hill did it in her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team.“It definitely took a lot of learning and patience” Hill told Today.
After graduation，Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her.She met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her determination，and she invited them to dance with her.
Hoping to affect more people in a larger city，Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls Rollettes.“I want to break down the stereotype (模式化观念) of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance，whether you're walking or you're rolling，”she told CBS News.Dancing on wheels，Rollettes discovered，can be just as fastpaced，artful，and fulfilling as the footbased variety.They're having fun，and the fun is touching.
Hill has attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream.But Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling.Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities with an eye to helping them find their inner Ginger Rogers or Julianne Hough.
The dancers aren't the only ones feeling inspired.One woman saw a video of the team competing and commented，“You guys are so awesome！！！！ To be in a wheelchair and still be so beautiful makes me know I can be beautiful too! Thank you！”
