Patuelli, a graduate of Concordia’s John Molson School of Business, earned a standing ovation after wowing the audience with a breakdance routine set to Kayne West’s “Stronger.”
Watch Luca’s performance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
After his performance, the American talk show host surprised Patuelli with a $10,000 cheque to send him and his wife on their honeymoon.
Born with arthrogryposis, a neuromuscular disorder that causes joints to be stiff and crooked, Patuelli found his passion in breakdancing, creating his own unique style using his arm strength and crutches.
Patuelli currently co-runs Project RAD, a Montreal-based dance program for kids with disabilities.
