Feel Good Friday: This six-year-old's dance routine will make your day

 
It's the end of the week, and we're ready to celebrate. So is six-year-old Audrey Nethery, whose adorable dance routine with her babysitter and family friend went viral. 

On Tuesday night, Kentucky teen Scout Hoffmeier tweeted a video of her sister, Crew, and Audrey performing a choreographed dance to “Hit the Quan” by iHeart Memphis. In just three days, it’s been retweeted almsot 8,500 times and has received almost 9,000 favorites. On Facebook, the video has almost 17,000 likes.  

Here is a short video of Audrey dancing with her friend ( and baby sitter) from school!!

The dance video, shared on Twitter with the caption, “Just to brighten your day,” is totally cute on its own. But it also has a pretty special story behind it. Audrey, the precious shortie on the right, suffers from a rare disease called diamond blackfan anemia, also known as DBA.

According to the Audrey's mom Julie, “People with DBA don’t make red blood cells, so many must rely on blood transfusions to survive. Others, like Audrey, take steroids that help her body produce red blood cells.”

But this tough cookie isn’t letting her sickness get in the way of dancing with her friends, posing for pics or even showing off her moves in Zumba class. Audrey’s Facebook page, with more than 325,000 likes, is filled with pictures and videos. We’re pretty sure that every photo on the page is more adorable than the next.

Keep dancing, Audrey!
