Every performance is highlighted by her bright smile and cheerful demeanor

Victoria Bueno, who goes by vihb_bailarina on Instagram, is a performer with the Academia Ândrea Falsarella in Santa Rita do Sapucaí. The teen is more than a ballerina; she also practices jazz, tap, and contemporary dance at the studio.

In spite of her young age and physical differences, she has reached levels of success in the dance world that other budding artists can only hope to accomplish.

Think her lack of arms would make her stand out from the troupe during performances, but that’s far from the truth. It’s a testimony to her stunning talent that she manages to seamlessly blend in with the other athletes. 

vihb_bailarina has learned to do just about everything the average teenager would without her arms. She is continually proving that you don’t have to look like everyone else to lead a full, independent life.

These days, she has an audience of more than 464.597 Instagram followers, and it’s all thanks to her fun dance videos and inspiring how-to routines. Here she is demonstrating how she puts on makeup using her feet.

“There are things she can do with her feet that, I can’t do with my hands,” said her stepfather, Jose Carlos Perreira.
