The Dancer With Bones Like Glass | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
DESPITE her bones breaking with the slightest touch, a 32-year-old woman has become an international wheelchair dance champion and part time model. Monique ‘Dior’ Jarrett was born with a severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta type III - more commonly referred to as ‘brittle bone disease’ - a rare genetic disorder characterised by increased bone fragility and susceptibility to bone fractures. Monique, from Manchester, UK, has lost count of how many bones she has broken in her life and each morning she wakes up, she has to conduct a ‘bone-check’ to make sure she hasn’t broken anything new whilst sleeping. Due to her positive attitude, Monique’s condition has never stopped her from living life to the full - and being active. She has become a wheelchair dance champion with a collection of medals and has modelled in photoshoots for the likes of Grazia magazine.

Who thinks she is amazing and gorgeous and strong ❤️🌹 show some love 💖🤗

[@celestialcircledance]

Be curious to see one of there performances . . I'm glad she can do an exercise that she enjoys and helps more then hurts her !

[@Communistdaughter]

I’ve met her at the brittle bone society conference and I have too say she’s very kind and never gives up (if you’re wondering I have brittle bones)

[@yahya2925]

When you accidentally break something does it hurt a ton or do you get used to it? :)

[@Communistdaughter]

@@yahya2925 I’d say as my amount of breaks had increased my pain threshold has increased so breaking a bone is more bearable

[@sorayapoulin]

So touching ❤❤❤

[@Hannah_Tyre]

She’s absolutely beautiful and can dance wonderfully I wish lots of success! 💪🏻💕

[@monicdavis6150]

❤️ What a strong 💪🏾 woman!

[@marilyns-e9483]

When she patted that pillow, I got worried we were about to see her accidentally break a bone.

[@traceyleeann7582]

These ladies can cut a rug on the dance floor 😀

[@CPR4THEBODYlivingaenrichedlife]

Her spirit is amazing...I love how her mum and she vibes!! Beautiful...makes u appreciate life more and not complai. About simple things!! 💪🏾👍🏾

[@eduardopadilla5505]

Great for her!

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

What a beautiful pleasant little lady. I think most of us do not become humble until calamity happens.. We as humans are so ungrateful for life...

[@sharoneverett7468]

❤ Beautiful smile and smart 💃🏆

[@jaayse]

man, some people have all the luck. I was born with glass bones AND paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every night I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.

[@umhi6197]

Stealing from spongebob how unoriginal.

[@jaayse]

@@umhi6197 Dont hate just because you didnt get to comment it first ;)

[@tagcoaster8974]

Fab story, made better by the fact that she lives near me! If I see her, I will definitely congratulate her on her courage and confident attitude 👍

[@sweetafr7820]

[@Supasmartguy]

Do more videos on conjoined twins, they're the only reason I watch your channel.

[@Supasmartguy]

@@rheak.1981 because those are the best videos on the channel, in my opinion.

[@MyMelinaaa]

I get the whole well I can do it too attitude from impaired peoples.but how much can you dance in a wheelchair I want to watch a real life competition I think it would be an eye opener and probably beautiful.🤗

[@riaranta3150]

0:19 how did that high five not snap her arm in two? She said the slightest touch can break her bones

[@nappyhead187]

If she fall out that chair she might break in half be carefu sweetie......

[@sandrarall9726]

Paper skin and glass bones

[@theycallmecookie4410]

So she’s a break dancer? I’ll go now :/

[@gamingwithkev8208]

How many times are they going to show this?

[@Claroclark]

Kevin Burrell you mean people with similar stories orrrr?? Because they never showed this before..

[@Hokuto_Tongi]

Damn 😂

[@knocon]

Not to be a stickler, but this isn't as much dancing as it is spinning around on a wheelchair.

[@justanother2021]

Dancing in a wheelchair is not dancing lmao. They only give out trophies to people like this because they feel sorry for them. They’re not the best at anything 😂😂😂

[@kelicartwright-hughes4334]

I'd genuinely like to see you try this, you absolute waste man.
