There is an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, which has made the rounds across the net. Considering the tight coordination required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all deaf.. Yes, you read correctly. All 21 of the dancers are deaf. Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate and stirring. Its first major international debut was in Athens at the closing ceremonies for the 2004 Paralympics. But it had long been in the repertoire of the Chinese Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe and had traveled to more than 40 countries. At the time its lead dancer was 29 year old Tai Lihua, who has a BA from the Hubei Fine Arts Institute. The video was recorded in Beijing during the Spring Festival celebrations the following year.

So often we say we cannot do something because of ___________________________ (fill in the blank). Here is something that is simply awesome, performed by people with a hearing disability(deaf). Please watch this and be inspired, not only by the beauty and serenity of the performance itself, but also by the fact that the dancers are deaf.

That was beautiful. I have seen deaf troupes perform before; I know many of the techniques used to pull it off as I used to be involved with sign language interpreting.

This was very impressive and inspiring.
