It is incredible what they can do with 3D animation these days. Looks so real.

    When I see things like this I can't help but wonder if these kids are allowed to enjoy childhood at all. All the hours of practice it takes can't leave them much time to just be kids.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      I absolutely agree with you Dennis. Being born in the USSR (which is Ukraine was a part of), I remember the high priority such achievements have for parents and trainers of kids like these. And nobody even think about "stolen" childhood. This is a part of their culture - to grow up kids they can be proud of. Good it or bad? I don't know. We all see things differently. Anyways, I wanna say BRAVO!

      That's what I am about to say. Some of these kids' parents might not even allow them to play with other kids because they have to practice. It's not like you can be perfect with those moves in just an hour or so. Although it's adorable, maybe letting the kids enjoy their childhood would be better. Well unless the kids were the ones who really wanted to do something like that, then that's a different story.

    Well, there aren't that many unique complex parts. They COULD practice this and have a normal life.

      I think you're probably right. I don't know what the back-story to these two kids is, but it is conceivable that they're being allowed to enjoy their childhoods, having loving families and all that, a little bit of time on some days spent on practicing their dancing.

    No offense, but we have the same thing going on here in America, it's called trash tv.
    Catch an episode of Dance Moms if you can stomach it.

        Guess I wasn't clear Steve. I like these kids too,but I agree they probably don't have much of a childhood life. And yes,I did read your post about how most of the moves aren't that hard,and you may be right,but I was really generalizing.

        Now if you are saying you like Dance Moms and tv like it, we will be disagreeing.
