Illusory hand dance turns 126 people in wheelchairs into “human kaleidoscope”
It’s incredibly good to know that Persons With Disabilities (PWD) are now being given the privilege to participate in different activities like sports and even performing arts.
There is the Paralympic Games or Paralympics, a periodic series of international multisport events involving athletes with a range of physical disabilities.
Also, more and more indoor and outdoor activities are being offered to them like bowling, swimming, canyoning, and dance sports events.
It’s a beautiful thing to behold.
Gone are the days where PWDs were not treated equally and were deprived of a lot in life.
Nowadays, they are treated with so much care and importance because they are without a doubt, part of society.
Little do we know, a lot of PWDs are extremely talented.
This video features 126 dancers in total.
Some are professionals, some are amateurs, and many are in wheelchairs.
It’s a hand dance routine for the Closing Ceremony of the Tokyo Paralympic Games and in preparation for the Olympics and Paralympics that will be held in PARIS in 2024.
A masterpiece indeed.
It has already been viewed by millions of people around the world.
The amazing “human kaleidoscope” was choreographed by none other than, Sadeck Waff.
He is popularly known for his unique style of dancing that focuses mainly on precise geometrical and synchronized movements.
Sadeck’s talent is world-class.
In fact, he has already created choreography for some Grammy Awards winners like Chris Brown and Shakira.
His talent was first seen when he joined a reality talent show.
Sadeck joined Got Talent in its France franchise.
In fact, he joined three times and received the Golden Buzzer in his audition.
He was also given a chance to teach Jennifer Lopez a few moves on World of Dance.
Perhaps, his credentials as a dancer made way for him to be selected to lead this group of incredibly talented dancers on such a big stage as the Olympics.
Their dance routine started with Oxandre Peckeu, the first person in France to receive a ‘bionic’ arm.
Sadeck and Peckeu joined forces and gave the audience a taste of what was about to happen – a masterpiece!
After their short intro, the camera zooms out and revealed the other 126 dancers.
You don’t always need your feet to dance.
This group of talented dancers proved to everyone that their hands were enough to wow the crowd.
Using both synchronized and succession of hand movements, they were able to pull off an optical illusion.
They became a “human kaleidoscope.”
Optical illusions play with the human mind but that wasn’t the only thing Sadeck and his group did, they’re nothing but a spectacle of talent.
The cinematography is impeccable.
No fancy attire, no big movements, no loud music, just them and their hands alone.
It simply proves that true talent comes from within and that you don’t always need your feet to dance.
They ended their performance strong and by spelling out “PARIS 2024”, also known as the 2024 Summer Olympics that will run from July 26 to August 11, 2024, in Stade de France.
