I broke three ankles, a leg and an arm watching this. Two of the ankles and the leg were mine. The other ankle and the arm belonged to a couple people in the audience.
I prefer the female dancers of a certain uhm…tribe. But this guy…give him a job in drywall and painting ceilings…and a couple of different coloured brushes. Could be art. Better than a banana anyway.
Back in my day, I could do flips, some breakdancing, and a lot of high-speed coordinated footwork with perfect rhythm… but this is a whole ‘nother level of muscle control. Just the sheer strength to land those moves and redirect the energy into the next twist is incredible.
No fun at all. The inflammation was bad enough. Tears take forever to heal. I've torn both quads. Now, I've a permanent knot in the middle of my right quad, the size of a golf ball that is impossible to break up.
I want to set a group of these guys opposite a group of Native American bird dancers and along with groups of each respective bird the dances are associated with and have a dance party/battle!

I dunno, that performance was a little... stilted. I'll see myself out

Somebody: Hey, can you dance like you are continouosly falling?
Dancer: you got it.

When your tribe hasn't discovered gravity and physics yet. Fuck you scientists! Look at the fun we could be having.

All the cool moon kids are doing it

They have observed gravity, they just told it to go fuck itself
Colopty
Yeah fuck Newton and his apple tree for ruining everything.

I hurt myself watching this video
SlytlyDerangd
Rumor has it his knee tendons could launch a rocket to orbit they're so strong and elastic. Wtf, dude.

"gravity is a theory you know, it's not proven" Reeeeeeeeeeeeee

The secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
EternallyIgnorant
It's not breakdancing, its stumbling - WITH STYLE!
CrepuscularCryomancer
that's a pretty apt description of many of the dance moves in this clip. So that tracks
ihugpeople
I know it is a quote from Douglas Adams, but it is also mostly how orbits work throw yourself into the air and then keep missing the ground.
Tarmaccian
As an ex-dancer… this is phenomenal.

Eshu (Yoruba) = Exu (Candomblé)

Yes, but Candomblé has its roots in Yoruba people, and others. It's just an adapted word to Portuguese.

This makes my various cruciate ligaments wince.

Right? My ski instructor once told me he could no longer take mogul runs because "my knees are like peanut butter." I see that in this guy's future.
Ketheres
To be fair I've never done mogul runs and doubt I could take one either.

All of us burn out in the end; some choose to burn bright and shine what light they have to offer in ways that they believe matter.
MadamPuddifoot
You only have 2 🤔

Per knee
wherearemytesticles
Yes, the crucial ligmas. I totally know what those are.
GandalfTheGhey
I blew out both my knees just watching this.
ShiftingPattern
Not to mention his poor meniscus and collateral ligaments which are honestly in more danger. "Unhappy triad" opportunities left and right.
Thresholdpush
Patellar & quadriceps tendons as well. I've had chronic patellar tendonitis in the past. Took over 2 years to get it under control. It sucks.
MadamPuddifoot
This would more likely end up in a patellar tension rupture, which is also no funsies.

MadamPuddifoot
Yeah if you didn't get it repaired, that's just a ball of atrophied muscle!
JohnSmithterms
Wow, that is by far the most impressive stilt work i have seen in 50 years. Impressive.

That looks a lot like a bird's head movement/stabilization, wonder if it's based off one? It's really well done

I've seen this one with the sound of a jackhammer, which was a surprisingly good fit
