WATCH: Super dad taking ballet lessons with his girls despite being mocked by his co-workers

Joilson Santos (54) is a father of two autistic daughters, aged 10 and 8, who are enrolled in ballet classes as a form of therapy. The burly dad joins them in each lesson, and despite being teased by his bricklaying workmates this dad of two encourages every parent of autistic children to sign up for classes.

The Brazilian group, called the‘Ballet Azul' (Blue Ballet), offers parents and their autistic children ballet lessons.
