For people who say this isn't actual dance, it's only because this is a technical skill exam. The kids are being tested on their flexibility and specific moves, not on their overall dancing - Akin to doing soccer drills rather than actually playing a soccer game. Also, this isn't for ballet...this is for classical Chinese dance. That's why there are aerials and different elements one would not see in ballet.
its not acrobatic ballet either im a Chinese dancer and that is the flexibility requirements before we start dancing we have 4 years of flexibility practice in dance academy before we even start ballet this is just basic technique required
Skating Lessons the flexibility and amount of videos I've watched I could've gotten this flexoble is killing me ( btw I got my middle splits last week!)
I had a friend from China who could do the splits in all sorts of different directions... she told me she took ballet in China and I just though “how intense could it be?” And now I’m here on this video, shitting my pants
EvelynPotter #Coffeeandash But these kids don't have a childhood. These kids are psychology abused (or as my mom would say, being encouraged). That's just how it is in China, it's all or nothing. You either go the tradition route of books, or you go to an athletics academy or you become a disappointment.
"psychological abused" is personal opinion and subjective. You know Jackie Chan and Sam Moo from Hong Kong,they have gone through the same kind of training when they are young according to one of their movie. You can say that they have been physical and psychological abused. In your life, there is always give and take. You can not have them all. They may not have a childhood but a lot of them have a bright future. I am not promoting this kind of hardship should be part of my own children's life. I only have a lot of respect to those kids.
Nefertiti Lmao they have other means of watching other shows, even not from youtube. And they have their social media platforms that even some other people use, that aren't from China.
This is actually Chinese traditional dance practice as well as practice for Chinese MINZU dancing which is dance froms from many ethnic minorities. It requires a lot of flexibility as well as having acrobatic tendencies. These children are actually the standard :) But I agree, every dancer is amazing.
@@magou_0128 Standard for a dance SCHOOL, not a dance CLASS. This is not an extracurricular parents throw kids into for a couple of hours a week to make them better rounded (there are plenty of those too). This is a school where dance is their core curriculum. If you have eight classes a day like Chinese kids usually do, 5-6 of them will be dance or dance-related. I guarantee if you danced 5 hours a day since you were a kid, you'd be able to do these things too. Not to mention, these kids had to have some potential to be admitted to these types of programs and for parents to think sending them there is worth it.
Arina Nam Jin Kim I’d say the same thing if it was a bunch of little American girls in the same exact clothing with the same exact hair doing the same exact drills almost right down to the T. /).- it’s about more than just the race.
And then there's me an inch away from splits and being like if I get my splits that would be the best thing ever - turns out it wouldn't, for that I would need all three oversplits and an incredibly flexible back
I already achieved my splits. To be honest, it didn't take me that long. What I'm talking about is my side splits. I still can't achieve the front one even though it's been 7 years of dancing for me.
Juliette Davies All I have is an over split in my right leg... I don't even know how I managed that, because I want to die when I stretch for left and center. 😂
And then you remember Victoria, Jia, chengxiao, winwin and jungjung have all been trained in China dance schools.. Its not a surprise at all that so many chinese kpop idols are so flexible
as a professional dancer that has danced for the some biggest artists and most esteemed dancers of our time, i would have failed this exam lol. with that said, kudos! ya'll better twirl.
Creative Cookie lol that's true (I'm just going to say this but I'm 11 too) @Rezwana Hossain I'm 11 too but I could probably be able to do that if I keep my flexibility in the future since I am Chinese in a class taught by Chinese born and raised teachers
these kids must train for many hours a week. their control is insane. I've been dancing for 14 years and I can't picture myself doing half the things they just did.
April Peeples you most definitely could if you started at like 4 years old. Also you can reach flexibility similar to theirs if you dedicate from now on, especially before puberty sets in.
Pancake Noodles it depends what you intend to do and what your goals are I'd you want to have fun and be flexible then yes she is just a number. If you intend on competing professionally then... Sorry but age matters. It's not like expect a 60 year old to be as good as a 13 year old who has been doing it for the same amount of years.
Maria Sindile - everyone has natural limitations even in kids. Sure, flexibility can be improved, but genetics plays a role as well even in kids (based on what I read).
China maybe wasn't the strictest county, but china's education is the strictest in the world. Believe me, you can go search about Gaokao, and you'll know what I mean...
This is amazing. My 4 yr old daughter just started learning chinese folk dance here in New York, USA and the training is intense. I hope she can be as good as these girls one day.
Don’t put too much pressure on her. Coming from an ex-dancer that trained 4 days a week 4 hours each. Dancing can put a lot of strain and stress both on the mind and the muscles. Also getting to this level isn’t only done with skill but also with intense dieting and muscle and flexibility training.
I remember watching this years ago and now I came back lol but China is on a whole new different level from us. If these are students imagine the teachers and imagine them in dance competitions 😦 they'd be getting perfect scores every week like its normal
I saw this in my recommended, I am a dancer myself. this is not a "final exam" but more of a recital/routine because in exams there wouldn't be applause (just straight faces with clipboards) and at 3:17 they flew one girl witch sadly but thankfully would not be in an exam. anyway, these girls are very talented and I was in awe the entire video!
these are traditional Chinese dance techniques that are used in most, if not all traditional Chinese dances. it's like what ballerinas do at the barre to warm up and practice their techniques.
They make everything look so easy like yes im flexible but i cant do certain tricks like aerials or back bends and other acro stuff im just a normal dancer. But i am teaching myself an Aerial and im nearly there!
Literally just watch this in awe and amazement. These students are really skilled, will love to meet their trainers/ teachers/ dance instructors. They also need credits my friend.
Damn...I wish my child had this acro class offered at her studio...this is essential skills to have as a dancer...their control and condition is sick!!!!
If every dancer did this type of training when they go back to the school they were in originally they would be so flexible and be hated by the other jealous dancers
It's so synchronised i swear its just one person video edited. Their flexibility is insane, but the music is very technical and takes all the enjoyment and passion out of the dance.
I'm not trying to be a hater, but because I am Chinese and I did dance there so I believe I have the right to say that, the way that they teach people is efficient, but it will make people who started because they like dancing, dislike dancing
Why wasn't I as flexible as they are when I learnt to dance ballet. I was dancing ballet before I could even talk and nothing like this was ever done. Hats off to this Asian ballet dance academy.

AllThingsMustPass701, техника исполнения движений не балетная.
Oxana Yakhanova так он/она написал что это не балетные движения..
Thanks for the explanations, I was just wondering if they really practiced classical dance ^^'
But why are they in pointe shoes? If that's not ballet
Leyla Rustamova I don’t believe they are wearing pointe shoes
if these are the students.. I want to see the teachers
Régine J just imagine old ladies with terrible attitude👍
Régine J dance teachers are always old ladys because of the experience... so i dont think they can do much nowadays haha
I remember my gymnastics coach (she's sort of old now) tried to do a cartwheel and then failed and screamed "MY ARTHRITIS"
Wth GC HAHAHAHAH OH MY GOD
Teachers usually arnt as good as the students at least at their current age. You don't have to be able to do the exact thing to teach it
I can't even do the splits...
Tori Gibson same I can't even do forward roll without breaking my neck 😂
I can’t even touch my toe
Tori Gibson saaaammee
Tori Gibson same..
Tori Gibson Doing a slit isn't hard,and maybe actually stretch and move. Y'all doing to much
my spinal cord was broken after watching this
Belle Jacinto 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️
Me
You mean spine?
Anon Bear yep I think that's what I meant. Anyway, you get what I mean
Let's not go there...
Flexibility goals...i am here trying to touch my feet🙈
Jessy Collins u
Ify
Jessy Collins I don’t think you’d want to be *that* flexible
I read you have to start toung when your bones are still geowing to het this flexible. But by doing yoga, I can now touch my toes.
Jessy Collins Sameee
its not acrobatic ballet either im a Chinese dancer and that is the flexibility requirements before we start dancing we have 4 years of flexibility practice in dance academy before we even start ballet this is just basic technique required
'just basic technique' i'm somehow ashamed of myself now😅
How is this basic
Tfuq how is dis basic? I can’t even reach my toes. Lol but wow....I feel ashamed cuz im not Chinese enough.
Chumamabangedchupapa I’m sorry you can never be Chinese and we don't want you... And y'all should know that Chinese don't only live in China
The rudiments of dancing before they actually start classical ballet
.. my final exams suddenly feel pretty easy
No One ikr
No One hi 👋 ARMY 🌝
Same
No One hahaha😂
I'd rather train for hours to do this than answer 5000000000 trick questions
level of difficulty - asian
__ mysterious__ they could be asian themselves
KloeCoco94169 as an asian i find this comment hilarious. Offended person must be white
😭😭😭😭😭
Im asian and nopeeee im in dance too but i can barely do the splits
__ mysterious__ how is that even offensive tho
And I'm here just barely doing the splits..

Flute Loomer lol same here
Skating Lessons the flexibility and amount of videos I've watched I could've gotten this flexoble is killing me ( btw I got my middle splits last week!)
Gorgeous demonstration !
I can't even do a split... wooooo
Are you sure that this isn't military training?
lol yeah
OMG YES MY FRIENDS MADE ME GO TO HERS

Charlie Zheng

wow
Humph
I had a friend from China who could do the splits in all sorts of different directions... she told me she took ballet in China and I just though “how intense could it be?” And now I’m here on this video, shitting my pants
actually its traditional chinese dance
I think those flexible guys in American got talent show, means nothing comparing to these 11yr olds.
omg yes like they say the kids in got talent are good... thats far away from this

They are like 8 lol
Manager Sejin Stan I mean maybe you are right im not sure myself but I don't think all of them are being abused
This is what they are doing instead of watching CZcams
Lena D and what's the problem with watching CZcams?
Nefertiti nothing, but china has banned a plethora of social media's so,,,
m e l no wonder people over there are so productive
Nefertiti Lmao they have other means of watching other shows, even not from youtube. And they have their social media platforms that even some other people use, that aren't from China.
Lena D EXACTLY
wow
amazing
they make it look so easy
Candy m Yea but they'll have to be really flexible and well stretched to do that
+Abhishaiya Sonaimuthu 'hold my beer'
Maddie ziegler who???
laura Villarreal somebody pin this comment... on Abby’s face
bruh maddie ziegler is nothing
Stella Bieber nothing compared to these girls...
laura Villarreal exactly
This is a completely different style of dance to anything shes ever been taught?
this is the dance-equivalent to staring at a word for so long that it isn't a word anymore

Hatfat ok sry
This is really scary to watch but the flexibility and the control these girls have over their bodies is amazing...
E
I don't find it scary but entertaining 😂
It's like they're all clones 😮
One of those things
Well they are not, westerners can be so blind
Arina Nam Jin Kim I’d say the same thing if it was a bunch of little American girls in the same exact clothing with the same exact hair doing the same exact drills almost right down to the T. /).- it’s about more than just the race.
Arina Nam Jin Kim Yea it wasn't about race they just all look identical with their outfits, dance, everything
Arina Nam Jin Kim dont make everything about race
Arina Nam Jin Kim wth no one was bringing race into this

Juliette Davies ikr
I got my first splits in a few weeks.
first of all, this is NOT a ballet exam, this is more of a skill exam to see difficulty and flexibility.
And then you remember Victoria, Jia, chengxiao, winwin and jungjung have all been trained in China dance schools.. Its not a surprise at all that so many chinese kpop idols are so flexible
Honestly xiao and Victoria prob will be able to do this routine
LMAO I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS
Honestly could not imagine Winwin doing this xD
Min Yeolie HAHAHAHA LETS WAIT PATIENTLY MAYBE SM CAN LET WINWIN DO THIS TO COMPENSATE WITH THE FACT HE GETS NO LINES.. (fuck you, sm)
Min Yeolie Same, it's what he deserves ❤❤
Everyone is talking about their flexibility but i'm also so amazed of their strenght and control of their bodies
as a professional dancer that has danced for the some biggest artists and most esteemed dancers of our time, i would have failed this exam lol. with that said, kudos! ya'll better twirl.
*I will never again complain about leg bruises*
My confidence in my splits vanished
Sarah Claire hahaha 😂
sAmE
as a dancer i can 100% assure you that these girls are covered head to toe in bruises 24/7
Don't be jealous of an 8 year old. Don't be jealous of an 8 year old. Don't be jealous of an 8 year old!
dancing exam military grade....
I dance for the Royal ballet in Copenhagen and even I feel a little scared and intimidated 😂😂 like are you sure this isnt military training
some dancer: *does something slightly wrong*
Me, a fat person eating chips in bed: haha bad
what was i doing during their years of training? probably on my phone with a double chin. what the fuck am i doing with my life
oh my god same
Niinpä niin susu
;-;
Pinkie Pie kuka mahdat olla
Unimaginable.
Lauren Gibbs c’est sur !!!!
i am 11 yrs old and I cannot even imagine doing all that
Rezwana Hossain what does your age have to do with anything?
Rezwana Hossain Damn 11 year olds always have the urge to say their age on the internet. How many times do I have to say, NO ONE CARES
Creative Cookie lol that's true (I'm just going to say this but I'm 11 too) @Rezwana Hossain I'm 11 too but I could probably be able to do that if I keep my flexibility in the future since I am Chinese in a class taught by Chinese born and raised teachers
Chierii Cherubi Thanks for not getting mad at me lol
You're welcome Creative Cookie!! I just realized but both of our names' initials are C.C.
They are so synchronized, it almost looks scary!
For anyone wanting to know the song it is actually two, the first one is Matsuri by Kitaro and I dont know the second
dayum jeez, flexibility goals....lmao the girl right smack in the fronts always a bit off XD
Christine Kwan 關嘉欣 probably since she can't see everyone, so her timings off. she was still insanly great though :D
or she's in the front cuz she the only one on count and everyone else a bit off
Christine Kwan 關嘉欣 Or maybe she's the only one on
Anthony Dee I was thinking the same...maybe she's the only one on the right count🤔
these kids must train for many hours a week. their control is insane. I've been dancing for 14 years and I can't picture myself doing half the things they just did.
i remember when i lived in Shanghai i did dance like this .. it was a toxic environment honestly.. i hope it’s not for these girls..
wow i wish i could do all that

Dancers or sychronized contortionists?
Olivia JJL dancers I believe that are studying Chinese traditional dance and i think this is some sort of a technical exam on their flexibility
Kat _HJ this person was not asking a question lol they are just saying those girls are very synchronized
Olivia JJL in china this may be their way of dancing, every culture is different
Both.
Lee MAya because they are also going in time with the music lmao
I can't even touch my toes
The only thing I can do is the standing up part
How tf do they remember all this
toucha my spaget a lot of practice lol
And I call myself a dancer....
I'm scared
Binithi 14 all of us are
I hear that China is the worlds strictest country. This video proves it.
Sophia Tran
That's North Korea
Sophia Tran
That’s North Korea kid.
Try going to North Korea....you will see who's the strictest
China maybe wasn't the strictest county, but china's education is the strictest in the world. Believe me, you can go search about Gaokao, and you'll know what I mean...
胡萝卜 pretty sure there’s harder ones out there and I’m chinese
Took me a good 3 minutes to realize that these were children.
Theses girls are already more accomplished than me in my whole 24 years of life.
This is amazing. My 4 yr old daughter just started learning chinese folk dance here in New York, USA and the training is intense. I hope she can be as good as these girls one day.

Beautiful, powerful, synchronized... im in complete awe..
I saw this in my recommended, I am a dancer myself. this is not a "final exam" but more of a recital/routine because in exams there wouldn't be applause (just straight faces with clipboards) and at 3:17 they flew one girl witch sadly but thankfully would not be in an exam. anyway, these girls are very talented and I was in awe the entire video!
I never actually thought of the fact that dance schools should also have final exams
china academys go hard ... wow
More like a gymnastics school than a dance school
This is not ballet...This is army training!gotta love the dedication.
This is crazy beautiful! The amount of dedication put into this!
man i wish i was as flexible as them :(((
v a l you'll get there if you work hard enough 👍
Are they aliens? 😊 👏
these are traditional Chinese dance techniques that are used in most, if not all traditional Chinese dances. it's like what ballerinas do at the barre to warm up and practice their techniques.
When girls say they're unique and different from other girls😂😭
As difficult as this looks, this would honestly be a dream to learn how to do. They're posture is so beautiful.
To agree with 101kittykoo, this is the basics that Chinese dancers need in order to dance. This is just purely technique.
Time to go stretch....
Ugh the amount of discipline hard work put into these
Imagine all the hardworks and the pain 👏👏👏👏👏
They make everything look so easy like yes im flexible but i cant do certain tricks like aerials or back bends and other acro stuff im just a normal dancer. But i am teaching myself an Aerial and im nearly there!
It’s just their dance style if they saw like my dance style they would find it hard cause they have only trained in this style c
I hope nobody fail
Holy shit imagine the teachers!
Literally me and my squad when we pull up
Mackenzie Ziegler was found quivering in her boots
Chia underrated comment
That's basically a fast yoga program.....and acrobacy. ..amazingly well done.
Literally just watch this in awe and amazement. These students are really skilled, will love to meet their trainers/ teachers/ dance instructors. They also need credits my friend.
I swear I saw my old math equations watching this
Is that the Beijing dance academy? What the fuck they were do flexible!
no
Vincent Wong
They're pretty standard, in Chinese expectations that is...
Damn...I wish my child had this acro class offered at her studio...this is essential skills to have as a dancer...their control and condition is sick!!!!
I wish all schools did this, think about how flexible and skinny we would all be
Dance is not just about flexibility it’s also about dancing and art
BadHairLife duh, which is why this is simply a technical exam. they are training for chinese classical dance which is literally the epitome of art.
hmm yes ur right, dancing is about dancing very wise words
If every dancer did this type of training when they go back to the school they were in originally they would be so flexible and be hated by the other jealous dancers
It's so synchronised i swear its just one person video edited. Their flexibility is insane, but the music is very technical and takes all the enjoyment and passion out of the dance.
I mean it’s just a technical exam, not a dance performance so enjoyment and passion is not really the point
@@sarahcrisp9194 bruh this was 2 yrs ago
cinna I can’t even remember what I did this morning mate, time means very little to me 😂
this is so synchronized and the arrangement is so in line lol oml
I'm not trying to be a hater, but because I am Chinese and I did dance there so I believe I have the right to say that, the way that they teach people is efficient, but it will make people who started because they like dancing, dislike dancing
I believe you on that one
Had work pays it of.
And the fact they are all doing it synchronised is just crazy
I don't know if I'm supposed to be creeped out because they're still in one piece or satisfied because of how beautiful this is.
And here I am feeling hella proud for getting my splits 😶
I cant even split without pain
THEY ARE TOO FLEXIBLE!!
All I can do is splits, and cartwheel 😂😂😂😂😂
Its facinating how all of them move in tune🤩🤪👯♀️
Painfull perfection
I'm supposed to be doing my homework and I don't even do ballet...
I had something similar to this but this is by far harder than what I did. Amazing work!
Why wasn't I as flexible as they are when I learnt to dance ballet. I was dancing ballet before I could even talk and nothing like this was ever done. Hats off to this Asian ballet dance academy.
This doesn't look like ballet to me. Compare it to Vaganova academy exams.
They are so tidy!
This isnt a dance school final exam rather than an acrobatics school. Most Asian dance schools teach Vaganova, and rarely RAD
i've never been thankful of my final exams until I stumbled into this
It is so fantastic and crazily hard job! No comment! Bravoooooo!!!
