What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero,24,has only one leg. When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey'

s Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated(截)below the knee. Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero ,who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume

3 ,explains how he returned to dance just

18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢),he explains. The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a stubborn patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor. It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, '

You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, '

Ruggiero said. Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. Tap dancers-they'

re always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, he said. Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he won'

t shy away from the physical weakness his performance shows because of his condition. A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, '
