    Everyone deserves a chance to dance. That’s why the East Texas Special Needs prom means so much to Kathy Musick.

    East Texas high school students who have disabilities got to do just that Friday during the annual event at the Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center in Longview. Students donned their flashiest garb and busted a few moves on the dance floor for much of the day starting at 10 a.m.
