Here's how a professional dancer feels the music while being Deaf

"I didn't even want to be a part of the world because people couldn't understand me." Oakland native and Deaf professional dancer Antoine Hunter discovered dance as a form of communication and it saved his life. Here's his story. abc7ne.ws/37BNHUY

This man is an immense inspiration! When he said, "I didn't even want to be a part of the world because people couldn't understand me," I immediately felt that, and even though I never met him, I understand him (it would be a huge honor to meet him face to face when this pandemic is over, hopefully). I'm a volunteer who works at a community center for the deaf & hearing-impaired & I'm not afraid to work with them at all. My parents are deaf & my older brother is deaf, and they do excellent in social functions. They can't hear the music, but they feel the music and that's what's important.

This was a great piece, I loved learning about this great dancer! In the future, it would be good if you could pan out enough to show from his head to his hips when he's signing, so that Deaf viewers can clearly see his signing and what he's saying. Without a clear view of this signing space, it's nearly impossible to understand what someone is signing, and it's a shame to have a video that showcases a Deaf person, where hearing audiences can clearly hear and read what he's saying and Deaf audiences can only read what he's saying.

I'm inspired. A helpful thing for anyone, especially during this pandemic. Inspired also by this love of life. Thank you, Mr. Hunter. All the best to you.

Beautiful video Antoine! Hopefully our conversations from 2017 for me to come perform with you in America will still become a reality! Cheers for making waves in the dance industry. Warm blessings TheDeafBallerina :)

I can't watch him sign - the majority of the interview is cut off by bad framing.
