1000-Hand Guan-Yin Dance

[Jeanine]

Pride of Boddhisatva
The deaf-mute performers, aged between 14 and 19, learn their art the hard way - through sign language with the trainers. Their determination makes up for their physical disability and each move is practiced exactly 100 times to get it right. It has taken the troupe a year to master such an intricate dance, spending an average of six to 10 hours a day in rehearsals.
