Every year, more than 500 kids aged 9-14 try out for the Brooklyn Nets Kids, a dance team comprised of 15 young dancers that perform at Brooklyn Nets games at the Barclay’s Center throughout the season.
Vako Gvelesiani is heading into his second year with the team, making the cut of 15 dancers twice.
“When they told me I made it, it was the biggest moment of my life,” Vako told TODAY.
A feat that is even more amazing considering that Vako suffers from severe hearing loss, and can only hear the beats of the music he dances to.
