Since nothing interesting was being telecast we decided to watch the season opening of Dancing with the Stars. The star ladies were scheduled to dance on this episode and it had a great list of people (Monica Seles, Priscilla Presley, etc) so we decided to give it a shot.
The show was pretty good and we enjoyed watching everyone trying to tread safely in unchartered waters as novices though each one is a pro in their own area. What really caught my attention was Marlee Matlin's dance.
I have added the link for the video for those who have missed it. Watch it before reading further.
This lady is just phenomenal. The main thing for dance is music and rhythm. Marlee, being deaf, can't hear the music. She still managed to dance so superbly in spite of this deficiency. It was just spectacular and really inspirational watching her dance like that. Seeing something like this motivated people to go out and do whatever they are doubtful about. I definitely got motivated seeing the dance.
Before I sign off, a word of praise for Fabian - the dance partner. He deserves praise too. It's no small achievement to make someone like that dance so well in tune. Hats off to both of them.
