Lucy’s Dancing Her Way To Her Good Life Posted by Posted by Imogen Loakman on 4 March 2016 Posted on: 4 March 2016

Lucy Dassanayake (Owen) has had a fun year being part of the NZ Model and Talent team and Star Jam in April.

She is now part of Enabling Good Lives and has achieved so much confidence by taking part in the show, according to her mother, Lynette. She modelled outfits for the retailers of Barrington Mall, with spot prizes and entertainment. The event helped raise money to help Star Jam continue its important work.

Star Jam gives young people with disabilities the chance to perform through
dance and movement. Lucy joined Star Jam and now gets to dance and sing
every Thursday.

Lucy also attends the CPIT Work Skills course and is trying out other new
activities this year with the help of her Navigator, Jackie. Lucy loves her time dancing and singing at Star Jam.

Lucy is looking forward to being a very special model at the end of the year
for her sister’s wedding where she will play a star role as bridesmaid and is
enjoying the fun of choosing outfits and hairstyles.
