I had no clue something like that was possible. These people have unbelievable balance, especially the ballet dancers! I wish they would tour the world so more people could see this amazing stuff!!!

I'm American but I want to try this and it probably doesn't exist here. And if it does then it's probably private and in the middle of nowhere or it's very expensive and on the other side of the country.

you-are-the-pelican-man lmao the libtards man... ik many chinese people (ethnicity wise) and none even find it offensive. How chinese see it, if things like ballet and piano(from Europe) can be done by chinese, why can’t it happen the other way around. Trust me, people will like it.

This would seriously be a cool Olympic sport, that and the Sky Dancing~

from what i know the Mao people of China are one of the rarer tribes. While there was the "one child policy" back then, i heard the government still encourages the Mao people to have more than one child (if im not mistaken though).

These people took walking on water to the next level

Russia: invented ballet France: popularized ballet, invited complicated techniques China: put ballet on top of a bamboo floating on water No matter what you do there's always an Asian better than you.

Just a little heads up here: ballet wasn't invented in Russia, as a matter of fact, it goes back to the Italian Renaissance, then was popularized by France during the reign of Louis XIV (the guy loved dancing and being admired on the stage). Russia picked it up later, mainly because culturally, Russia really looked up to France (they even spoke French at the Russian court). This is why all the ballet vocab, the name of the steps and so on are in French, no matter where in the world you learn Ballet :)

It's Southwestern Mandarin like Sichaunese. It's not an entirely different Chinese variety like Cantonese or Shanghainese would be. It's still very different from Standard Chinese ("mandarin") though.

I'm Chinese also.. I can speak Mandarin and understand Fuzhounese... and somehow I manage to understand it even tho it wasn't Fuzhounese.

This really allows me to connect with my ethnic chinese background. It is such a beautiful and graceful traditional to have people dance on bamboo.

I bet they'd be awesome surfers

So...that's a circular bamboo, right? Have you seen a log floating in water? Try standing on that thing and you find yourself underwater cuz it turns. How do they stand on that thin bamboo?
