At the Academy for the Blind, the dance floor filled up

The Georgia Academy for the Blind in Macon held its annual prom this month, and the school has been posting clips of the night to social media ever since. The videos show what prom videos usually show. Students in dresses and rented tuxedos, a dance floor, a DJ, the particular kind of grinning that only happens once a year. The footage has traveled further than the school likely expected. Commenters from other states wrote in, including one who mentioned a friend who taught at the school for the blind in North Carolina and kept showing up to events long after he retired. Another wrote, "Congrats to all these amazing students! They will remember this day!" The Academy serves students across a range of vision levels, a detail a commenter gently pointed out for anyone assuming otherwise. The dancing, by every available measure, looked like dancing.
