This type of dances never stop to impress me, once in a while I'd watch 1 or 2 and I'd be flabbergasted and then be sad that it isn't appreciated enough sometimes.. For non-dancers, many of whom are relatively unfit, I find it amazing how quickly some of them reach a high standard in their dancing.
