How a deaf dancer is inspiring a nation, and sweeping the floor with competitors on U.K.'s "Strictly Come Dancing"
CBSN
London — A British dancer is making history as a deaf contestant on "Strictly Come Dancing," the British version of "Dancing with the Stars."
Rose Ayling-Ellis glides along the floor with the kind of grace that you might expect of a finalist, hitting each beat with superhuman accuracy. But Rose can't hear the beat. The 27-year-old soap opera actress has been deaf since birth.
CBS Correspondent Charlie D'Agata spoke to Ayling-Ellis and her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, with the help of a British Sign Language assistant, and asked her how she's able to dance without hearing the music.
