Dance Like No One's Watching

Danced Like a True DAG

888DAG.com

We had a really fun day today at 888HQ. It was my first official DAG Day and I finally got to link with some of the other bloggers. It was great to be able to put a face to what has, up until now, been words on a screen.

I have a new camera in my hot little hands as well, ready for action. I know it will be put to good use! SydHappyGuy said it well - "If you're lying in bed, too sick to film... film it."

Needless to say I got some great footage today. We donned some of PommyGran8's fantastic costumes and danced like no one was watching :o)

It was a menagerie of dancing bloggers! We had 2 bunnies (Mrs AvNGav and myself), 2 cats (Feelion and EyeoftheLeOpard), a K9 and even a Big Bad Wolf!

Don'tMessWithMum, TomDiggleHarry, Mstr. T and the Funky Spunky Princess epitomised my idea of Deaf Music today - they all got Soul!

And last but not least, iamatreeagain showed us how to work it!

Now I know you wanna see how it all went down...

I'll show you... soon. You know where to find it, you just don't know when, so be on the lookout :o)

Deaf Music - Dance Like No One's Watching

We attended the Deafness Forum Summit in Canberra earlier this year.

We were lucky enough to hear Li Cunxin, author of 'Mao's Last Dancer', give a truly inspirational speech.

He spoke of the trials and tribulations of growing up in poverty-stricken China and the obstacles he overcame to become one of the world's best dancers.

He then introduced his daughter, Sophie, an 18-year-old HSC student who, like her father, is a talented and passionate dancer. Sophie has had to overcome her own obstacles in life.

Sophie's Deaf.

Everyone has the ability to feel the music.

All you need is soul.
