For the first time since losing part of her left leg in the Boston Marathon bombing, professional ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis danced on a stage Wednesday.
Haslet-Davis, 33, shed a tear as she showcased her skills and sashayed on a new prosthetic limb to a sultry Enrique Iglesias tune Wednesday while wearing a sparkling white dress at a TED conference in Vancouver, Canada.
"I'm thrilled to have danced again," Haslet-Davis said. "I was always determined to dance again, and I knew that I had to, that I would — and here I am."
The director of biomechatronics at MIT told the Technology, Entertainment and Design Conference about visiting Haslet-Davis in the hospital and designing the leg specifically for her so she could dance again.
She was among the more than 260 people injured at the finish line of last year's marathon.
A photo taken at the hospital days later shows the dancer feeling her bandaged stump.
Haslet-Davis will take the biggest step of all in her inspiring recovery when she appears later this year on "Dancing with the Stars."
