Deaf dancers stun audiences with harmonious routine to take home Star Award

Editor: Jade

As a troupe of 17 girls performed a synchronized dance routine inspired by the process of making oat flour kaolaolao, one of Shanxi province's iconic noodle dishes, the audience would be hard-pressed to believe that not one of them could hear the music they were dancing to. The group of deaf dancers captivated audiences and won a prestigious Star Award at the 20th National Excellent Mass Art Works Exhibition and the Star Awards ceremony in Chongqing on November 4.

The Star Award, established by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, is the highest honor in Chinese mass culture at the community level. Out of thousands of entries, the girls' dance, Steaming Happiness, stood out for its unique Shanxi regional flavor and the extraordinary dedication of its performers.
