<\/span>For those who watch Dancing with the Stars<\/i>, and fans of Amy Purdy, you will be happy to know that she is still going strong and scoring high with the judges!  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Amy Purdy is a double-amputee Paralympian snowboarder and has been on the show for weeks. Each of her performances have blown away all of the judges.  <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bruno Tonioli, a judge on Dancing with the Stars<\/i><\/span> said, \u201cWhat you have achieved most of us would consider impossible. The jive is the most difficult dance for anybody to perform.\u201d  <\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although the judge did not refer to her disability directly, it seemed to me that he meant the jive was hard for anyone to do, especially a person using prosthetic legs.  <\/span>Amy\u2019s prosthetic legs have enabled her to achieve the impossible. Check this out:<\/span><\/div>\n
