Deaf dancer auditions for SYTYCD

[garden_hoe21]

I thought people here might get a kick out of how Nigel (the white male judge with an English accent) "talks to" the auditioner. (Bonus points for "so inspiring! So brave!")

Okay so um. First, the judges were amazingly condescending. Amaaaazingly. The first one, the blonde lady? She wasn't so bad. The two guys? I literally felt my mouth drop open as I listened. I may have mouthed a few potent "Fuck you!"s, too.

Second, that's not my style of dance. But he's got astounding talent! You don't usually see someone following the bassline that closely, even a hearing person, so I grinned in delight. So happy he's found something he loves and didn't let not being able to hear stop him! :D (Also, the way he incorporated body language into the whole routine. Lovely!)

Third, I feel so sad that he feels so chuffed over it - and more that I know exactly why he would. Hearing people, sometimes you make me :( :( at you.
