Thousand-Hand Guan Yin

THIS IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!  Please read the paragraph below FIRST before you watch the video.
 
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
 
There's an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guan Yin, making the rounds across the net.
Considering the tight coordination  required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they weren't 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. 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 celebrations.
