For sure. Probably 85% of the time I'm dancing, there is no music or sound. Just pure movement and rhythmic timing; the natural way to dance. Anyone can dance, to the rhythm of their thoughts, heartbeat, or anything that inspires dance. Disabilities do not limit this creative way to express a person.

P.S. I'm sorry to hear about your hearing loss, but I'm also really glad, and inspired, to hear that you don't stop this from performing and dancing.

Of course they can. As long as they can feel the vibrations they should have no problem following the music.

yeah! ive seen ppl who do it

Yes! When you lose a sense, Your other ones grow stronger!
They Can Feel the vibrations of the rhythm and they just dance!! =D

i dont kno if they can cz i kinda feel it might be impossible by hearin vibrations, cz the vibration shows you that there is a sound comin to your ear but you cant recognize the sound, thats why i think they cant.. by if they can then hell it is, it would be great.. i have 55/20% hearing loss and im a professional dancer i can hear clearly with 1 ear and the other ear gets only vibrations.

Hi, have you seen Marlee Matlin dance on Dancing With The Stars this season. She's completely deaf and dances great.

Absolutely! You can feel the vibrations of the music. If you love dance with enough passion, that's all you need! :)

yes they can i know a deaf dancer who is amazing

Of course they can Dance!
They can feel the music vibrations, also you need to know that when there's a missing sense the other one increases their ability :-)

Yes, they feel the vibrations.

yeah.
there's this lady on so you think you can dance that is deaf. i'm not sure what her name is but she dances great. she follows her partner a lot and she can also feel the vibrations in the floor.
