A disabled dancer who performs on the West End using her crutches is fed up of trolls saying she "looks silly". <br /><br />Sophia Adzoa-Moore, 25, has used crutches full time since 2013, after waking up one morning unable to walk.<br /><br />She was diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) in July 2024, which causes severe pain in her hips and joints, as well as fatigue and dizziness. <br /><br />At the age of 18, she nearly quit performing to study backstage theatre production - as she didn't think she'd be able to dance on crutches.<br /><br />But she decided to start applying to dance colleges throughout 2020 and 2021 - and after being accepted to the Performance Preparation Academy (PPA) in Guildford, Surrey, Sophia "hasn't looked back".
