Guatemalan grandparents Favio "El Lobo" Vasquez and his wife Maria Moreno first met on the disco dance floor over 30 years ago. Despite being from rival dance groups they ended up falling in love and have been dancing together ever since. But earlier this year, after the death of their daughter, dance helped them in ways they could never have imagined. As they were raising their daughter's two young children and struggling to pay the bills, they decided to enter an online dance competition. They had to enter separately but Favio won and the video of him dancing went viral - it was even trending higher than Manchester United! They've been telling Outlook's Clayton Conn their story.

Ahmad Joudeh has risked everything for the love of dance - for him he says it's "dance or die". Growing up in a Palestinian family in Syria, he's braved war and death threats from the Islamic State group to pursue his dream of being a ballet dancer. In 2016 Ahmad was brought over from Syria to the Netherlands to join the Dutch National Ballet after the Artistic Director saw a film about Ahmad on TV, and he鈥檚 gone on to perform with some of the world鈥檚 most famous dancers since then. He鈥檚 also been reconciled with his father who for years disapproved of his son becoming a dancer.
