To my DU friends, how about some ((EXQUISITE BEAUTY)) to brighten your day

[BigBearJohn]

During darkened days, we oft-time forget that some
people are putting forth hard efforts to add some beauty to
a dull world.

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 avisual 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 China 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 this year.
