They are dancers who feel music rather than hear it. And Friday
evening, they plan to take the stage for a very different type of
performance.
The hearing-impaired dancers with the San Antonio Deaf Dance Company
are hoping to inspire others.
“I like to be able to feel the music,” explained 17-year-old Ruby
Ybarra. “Doing expressions, learning the steps and the counts. Doing
it myself. Am trying to do, you know, have good energy and good
emotion.”
The dance company teaches deaf and hard of hearing students about the
arts. The team is made up of 25 middle and high students.
“I could feel the beat and, like, it’s in my body, and I could move
to it,” said16-year-old Viviana Plata. And like, I can hear fine. But
I like it more here, cause I can feel it in my body, and it makes me
more open.”
The camp lasts 3 weeks, and the organizer told News 4 it’s an
eye-opening experience for the kids.
“They see that, uh, there’s life after high school,” said organizer
Carol Ann Brodersen. “That they don’t just stay at home and do
nothing. They go onto college programs.”
The students have a bright future, and through their performance,
they want to send a message to everyone.
“I want them to know that everyone’s the same, and that we could
dance the same. It doesn’t matter if you can’t hear or you can hear.
It’s just about the inside that counts,” said Plata.
The performance is Friday at 7pm at the Clark High Auditorium.
Admission is free, but they will accept donations at the door.
