dance of 1000 hands

My friend Christine always send me really cool emails that include unbelievable links that I would never ever find all by myself. Today she sent me this very amazing dance video:

"There is an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, which is
making 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 complete deaf-mutes. 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 last year
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. Its lead
dancer is 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 this year."
