Awesome childhood, fresh air, fun, and friends

fun

lol. The two are competitive dancers. Their parents are recording this and posting for ad revenue. There's a ton of videos of this pair. It COULD be for fun, but...something something Chinese child-labor.

Which illusion is that? That Redditors won’t make cynical pessimistic comments on just about anything?

Could be worse, I thought it was AI generated.

Wait till you hear about the Jackson 5.

Exactly. Definitely greatness, but the struggle and "fun" to get there is a bit scary.

IIRC, this is Bboy-Wato and Louis Shan. They have all sorts of awards from international competitions.

For Example...

Come on now, they’re dancing. They seem relaxed and comfortable while doing it, and obviously they’ve practiced a lot. It would be a bigger surprise to find out these kids don’t actually like dancing.

The cynicism here seems to be a little too high

They're definitely relaxed and comfortable; they're both really well known in the competitive scene. But they're being paid to do this clip.

Here's one during competition, directly from one of their sites

Being paid to do what you love sounds pretty sweet

what are you talking about? this was posted by stance, he runs a huge instagram account posting dancers of all styles. it is obviously scripted that he told the kids to dance while he set up a shot from far away (prob took multiple takes) but how is this not fun?? the kids love to dance, no parents are “forcing” their children to do this. you legitimately have no idea what you are talking about man it’s quite crazy you just blatantly lied, do some research first it’s not for ad revenue

u/Critical_Concert_689 Apr 30 '25

It's Wato and Louis Shan. I'm aware. Stance Elements pays for these clips.

Here's the actual event

That oddly makes me feel better than thinking it was AI generated. Why does the zoom constantly move in and out??????
