The_Dance1.wmv
In a Chinese modern dance competition on TV one very unique couple won
one of the top prizes. The young woman, in her 30's, was a dancer who
had trained since she was a little girl. Later in life, she lost her
entire left arm in an accident and fell into a state of depression for
a few years.
Someone then asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From that
point on, she realized that she could not give up her love for
dancing. So, she started to do some of her old routines. But, having
lost her arm, she also lost her balance. It took a while before she
could even make simple turns and spins without falling.
Then she heard of a man in his 20s, who had lost his leg in an
accident. He had also fallen into the usual denial, depression and
anger roller coaster. But, she was determined to find him and persuade
him to dance with her.
He had never danced, and to dance with one leg....No way!
But, she didn't give up, and he reluctantly agreed. He said "I have
nothing else to do anyway." She started to teach him dancing. The two
broke up a few times because he had no concept of using muscle, how to
control his body, and knew none of the basic rules about dancing.
When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk
out. Eventually, they came back together and started training
seriously and hired a choreographer to design routines for them.
In this competition, as you will see, they dance beautifully and they
legitimately won the competition!!.
This is just a remarkable and heart-warming video of two young people
who succeeded in the face of adversity.
