VIDEO: 20 Hearing-Impaired Dancers Create an Amazing Visual Spectacle

We know...this isn't really a "green" post. But seriously, this is AMAZING and we had to share. Special thanks to the blogger over at Seeing Good for posting this. From the blog...

The intricately choreographed Thousand-Hand Guan Yin dance conveys a beautiful message of compassion:

“As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
A thousand hands will naturally come to your aid.
As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
You will reach out with a thousand hands to help others.”

While I love the message behind this mesmerizing dance, what’s more extraordinary is that all 20 dancers are hearing impaired. With the help of trainers posted along the edge of the stage, the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe created a piece that is both moving and entrancing.

So many levels of beautiful.

Happy Friday Everyone!!
