At the tender age of 1, Dergin Tokmak contracted polio and was partially paralyzed from the waist down. Just like any other child, Dergin had dreams. Most of us have dreams that are within our perceived limitations. But Dergin's dreams argued his limitations - he dreamt of becoming a dancer. With hard work, dedication and a few slick moves with his crutches, he went on to realize those dreams as a member of Cirque du Soleil. In this video, Tokmak shows off his break dancing skills and shows us there are no limits to what we can do.

    I have scolosis which has affected how walk,run and dance. It bothers me when someone tells me I'm not strong enough to do something. Tokmak is a reminder that we can do anything no matter what the obstacle is!
