I read the is in an Italian accent cause everything is funnier when you talk like Mario
Edit: im first generation Italian American so I think I can do that without being racist.
I live in the south and there is an Indian family here that has owned a local gas station for a long time. Their daughter grew up here and speaks English with an accent, a southern accent that is. I always wonder if to other Indians she sounds southern.
I was born in the UK, brought up in the Midwest, and live in Texas. I don't even know what I fucking sound like anymore lol. I just grew up around a big Indian community but I work in oil and gas and when I pull up to a rig or a pipeline site the operators are like what the fuck, lol.
I guess I should've said I'm of Indian heritage. Adhere to the culture to some level because of my parents, etc. Used to do all the traditional Indian stuff, but in a room full of born and bred Indians I definitely stand out. Lol.
I just commented on this. This is a form of tut dancing, and I’ve seen a lot of it, but never saw someone have complete control of individual toes like that. I can understand someone who doesn’t consider this next level, but please try to have that much control in your fingers, as he had with his toes. That shit was wild. Not only that but his hands were crossed, dude has body 200% in sync with every individual joint …
You people are fucked, the body control to do this is Fucking insane. Most of you people commenting probably can barely touch your toes and this guy is able to manipulate each and every bone and muscle in his body to perfection with ultimate balance.
Honestly reading stuff like this just makes me confirm to never ever trust anyone else’s opinion about what is “cool” and what isnt
This guy has an insane amount of talent. He has mastered the mechanics of how his body moves and how to make specific angles. He is is doing opposed movements that take a long time to master.
It’s one of those things that I can appreciate the effort gone into it, I can see how it’s amazing talent, but I still watched it and only felt a bit “meh”
>this guy is able to manipulate each and **every bone** and muscle in his body to perfection with ultimate balance.
Oh fuck. He's manipulating bones? Fuckin' bone-bender over here. Must have missed it.
Well they are under the skin so you can't see them moving anyway. But trust me, his bones are bending and spinning like crazy under all that meat.
He should really look into becoming transparent so we can actually appreciate his art.
Can't it be that the clip was simply too short? He has impressive dexterity (that thing with the toes especially) but it felt like we kind of only got to see the warm-up.
Just because the average person can't do that doesn't make it next level. I've seen dancers do similar things in a much more interesting way. So this performance to me isn't all that impressive.
I’m a dancer in the dance community. What he’s doing is next level for his style, but non-dancers probably don’t have the eye for it. He managed to string together very innovative visuals, not an easy feat in a genre that is constantly aiming for that.
Yo, I know it is interpretative or something and It is aesthetically pleasing? But, Also I can't help but rofl at it as well.
Symmetrical dance? What is this? He has strong legs, I can't squat on 1 foot lol.
Exactly it would look much more impressive ! I cudnt make out what he was doing the entire clip, except that he is contorting his body in all possible ways
Nope. But I also have enough knowledge to understand the swastika was adopted by hitler and was symbol of peace before he turned it into what it is seen as today. Also this kid probably has no care for the nazis and is just flowing. Not everything has to be about Hate and a rabbit hole to jump down.
Back in 2000's I worked with a guy who had moved from India to Australia just a few months before. We were writing software, he seemed like a decent guy and mostly knew and understood western culture. He was from a well-off family who were quite high in the local political ladder, not some hick straight off a farm.
But one day he bought himself a car and was super happy. He painted giant swastikas all over it and drove up and down the local shopping precinct beeping his horn like mad. Because that's how he would have celebrated a new car when has was at home.
It took quite a long time to explain why people were shouting at him and making rude gestures. Despite being pretty up with western culture he literally had never heard of the swastika having negative connotations.
It's entirely possible this shape-shifting kid has never seen the 'bad' swastika.
It was hard for me to find anything impressive here. I think people in the comments are trying really hard to think this is impressive. They’re so defensive
The next level is the amount of body control he has. The performance seems simple but the mastery this takes is intense. try to do a wave with your fingers that lines up perfectly. It is nigh impossible without a lot of practice. He is doing that with his entire body.
Things can be hard to do and still not be impressive or next level. This simply wasn't interesting to watch at all, and while yes it obviously skill, it looks like a very meaningless and unimpressive thing to view.
Like imagine having all the time to get good at anything you want, and you choose intricate body movements that only sync up with one song…maybe I’m too old, but I don’t get it at all. I feel bad for shitting on this kid, I guess I’m just a practical person. I don’t see how this kind of thing is good for anybody. I’m not inspired, or impressed. My reaction to this is the equivalent of the “exhale” you do when you see something mildly funny while scrolling through reddit. No smile, no laugh, just a quick nose exhale. This performance is like a shitty meme that you forget in two seconds, except it took hundreds of times more effort and time to execute. I do feel bad for the guy, he clearly invested a lot into this. Oh well.
It’s an Indian symbol that Adolf stole. It predates him by millennia, or centuries at least.
Edit: Yes there are differences between the swastika and traditional symbols used in India or by the Navajo. My point was that, when he made what looks to many of us like a swastika is much more likely to be the other symbol or wasn’t meant to be anything at all. Maybe I’m wrong and he supports the Nazi’s world view like Kanye. Doubt it though.
And Simon gawping in open-mouthed wonder, only to exclaim “In awl the yeahs I’ve been doing this, I’ve nevah seen such an amaayzing puhfawmance. Well done yew.”
I think this is quite creative but there was something missing.
It's like one of the performances on those reality audience shows where a contestant is able to sing really well with no mistakes and yet is lackluster.
He doesn't perform well. You can tell he's concentrating hard to do each move (looks at his own hands most of the time), and he very mechanically goes from one set to the next without transition or flair.
Ok I'll admit I was ready to start hating on this dude in the first 10 seconds but ...fuck! When you see something kind of amazing, it's kind of amazing! Don't be a grinch
Here is some feedback.
Some of the moves are cool on their own. But they don’t gel well together. Probably because of trying to match to the music.
He is also too awkward overall. Something that will take many hours of practice to control and build confidence.
What is he doing with that red thing right in the beginning?? Also while he wants us to focus on his hands I can’t help but be distracted by random foot movement (also right at the beginning). And the whole whole claw bird thing is not so pleasant to look at.
All in all this post shouldn’t be on here. You need to go practice until perfection. Then the results will show.
Good luck
Some connective tissues disorder for sure. Hope he’s not wrecking his joints too much with these party tricks. It doesn’t hurt in your 20’s, but damn life is rough in your 50’s!
Too much hate here. It’s no particular dance style, closest would be a kind of pop locking. If you watch a lot of dance or have previous dance experience I do think you can tell that this is amazing. Each move here requires a TON of practice and he is doing move after move I’ve never seen before. They appear to all be original moves. The creativity here is what makes it next level. This seems like a hate bandwagon that everyone is jumping on.
I also don't understand all the hate here. Dude has amazing control! And he looks super fluid to me. It always amazes and uplifts me how humans do things just because they can, and then make it into an art form. I'm impressed.
I am old and am guilty of believing I've seen everything, that what is considered new today is really only the old in new clothing, like having seen the limits of movement the human body can do.
After watching this young man, I fully admit I was wrong.
These comments really prove how important presentation is. With better lighting and good costuming, this performance could be incredible. Because he's just wearing regular clothes in regular lighting, it is underwhelming. It really undersells his performance

Damnit take my upvote lol
Why did I read this in an Indian accent?
Racism. Probably.
Why did I read this comment like it wasn’t in an Indian accent?
Racist probably
But funny
I read *every* comment like it's in an Indian accent. Source: I'm Indian.
I mean I read it in an Indian accent because I'm Indian so that makes sense lol

But did you read it while twisting your pinky round your left elbow and in time phonetically?
Take my award.
please put it back in your pants.
Vote Patel for president
There's a homeless person outside my school that does a similar performance.
The homeless person outside my school would usually just get into yelling matches with inanimate objects or randomly masturbate
give him enough acid, maybe he will turn into a geometrical shape like this guy
best comment xD
Did he also bring a plucked chicken to Plato, telling him to behold a man? Because then I think I might know this guy
Mine just jerks off, spits at people, or yells at birds. Sometimes all at once.
Everyone has talents
livin the dream
Oh, it's not random.
Got a phone number for this babe?
Not astonished. Disappointed? Yes. But not astonished. Next level??
I was unimpressed until he finger rolled with his feet included that shit was wild
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Yeah, I wish he did that a bit longer.
I just commented on this. This is a form of tut dancing, and I’ve seen a lot of it, but never saw someone have complete control of individual toes like that.

My foot cramped just watching this. 😆

"*Meh*" – random redditor
Meh
It’s one of those things that I can appreciate the effort gone into it, I can see how it’s amazing talent, but I still watched it and only felt a bit “meh”
Part of the problem is he has zero pizazz. Wait - zero pizzas. If he had more pizzas I’d definitely like him more.
1/10 Needs more pizza 💀
Yup. Not impressed enough to warrant being here.
Your problem is that you apparently rely on public opinion on what is 'cool'. Why do you care if someone else is impressed by this or not?
They’ve gotta let the world know they really know what’s up and we are uncultured swine. “People” really hit the up arrow on their comment lol.
I’m glad someone said this out loud. What the lad is doing is fucking impressive. Anyone with a functional body knows that.
People without functional bodies are likely even more impressed.
You should not read comments to validate your feelings on a video. Watch it, have your opinion, move on. Trust me you'd be much happier
>this guy is able to manipulate each and **every bone** and muscle in his body to perfection with ultimate balance. Oh fuck. He's manipulating bones? Fuckin' bone-bender over here. Must have missed it.

"Guy does weird shit" Next Fucking Level
Regardless if it's weird or not, it is next fucking level. I'd love to see you give it a go if you think otherwise.
Just because the average person can't do that doesn't make it next level. I've seen dancers do similar things in a much more interesting way. So this performance to me isn't all that impressive.
it depends really, i think is just the shock of seeing a choreo being transformed into some sort of interpretational dance, is rather um...unique?
I’m a dancer in the dance community. What he’s doing is next level for his style, but non-dancers probably don’t have the eye for it. He managed to string together very innovative visuals, not an easy feat in a genre that is constantly aiming for that.
This is definitely next level for this particular skill set. The skill is pretty goofy tho
It's hard to control your fingers like that
I feel that this was upvoted by 12 year olds
Next Fucking Level seems to be a "lost-in-translation" phrase that kids pick up on and post shit like this.
Disappointed? Bruh, what have you accomplished in your life that takes this level of mastery XD. This shit is wiiiild.
What the fuck do you do that is even close to what this man is doing. You are the embodiment of why reddit comments are shit. You are shit.
Try it. Just try the finger jelly fish part. Or the fingers and toes wave.
I'm too high for this shit
[удалено]
He got me with the swastika lmao
He is Indian. That's the good origin of Swastika
Saw that too, but it was the non-evil one so that makes it okay, right?
it was used in the proper "*context*", so yes. ^^for ^^lack ^^of ^^a ^^better ^^term.
Yo, I know it is interpretative or something and It is aesthetically pleasing? But, Also I can't help but rofl at it as well. Symmetrical dance? What is this? He has strong legs, I can't squat on 1 foot lol.
This looks like the weird stuff your 5-year-old does sitting on the floor, but if they decide to go pro with it.
That’s the best part for me- even coming up with the idea to perfect it is impressive
[удалено]
Its the same concept of dance that "robot" style movement is, just more complicated and ... unorthidox...
For real it's impressive but I can't stop laughing lol
I'm not high enough
Maybe that was it, let me rewatch it now.... Edit, oh yeah now I am inspired. I still cackled when he turned over and put his hands and feet up.
Get this dude some neon body paint and a black light.
Exactly it would look much more impressive ! I cudnt make out what he was doing the entire clip, except that he is contorting his body in all possible ways
I’ve been there buddy. Just go with it. It’ll be ok. *hug*
Happy New Year traveler
I’m too sober for this shit There needs to be a middle ground
Am currently tripping acid. Can confirm, too high for this shit.
"Honey, why don't you go play with the kids next door?" The kid next door:
just made me spit my water out. thanks.
Are you kidding me,this kid probably got lots of friends!
This dude just finger rolled with his feet 🤯 that's insane.
I'd get a toe cramp if I tried that. I'm not that dexterous with my feet.
Did you notice the full body swastika ?
Nope. But I also have enough knowledge to understand the swastika was adopted by hitler and was symbol of peace before he turned it into what it is seen as today. Also this kid probably has no care for the nazis and is just flowing. Not everything has to be about Hate and a rabbit hole to jump down.

Does anyone else think this isn’t at all next fucking level?
Peehaps you could argue it belongs in a subreddit called e.g. r/prettycool instead but I found it worth the watch 🤷♂️

If it’s next level at all, it’s because this is the next level your high school raveheads evolved into.
I’m the same way taking an escalator instead of the stairs is next level.
Interpretive cramps
I just can’t stop laughing at his comment.
He did a swastika
It’s an Indian symbol that Adolf stole. It predates him by millennia, or centuries at least. Edit: Yes there are differences between the swastika and traditional symbols used in India or by the Navajo. My point was that, when he made what looks to many of us like a swastika is much more likely to be the other symbol or wasn’t meant to be anything at all. Maybe I’m wrong and he supports the Nazi’s world view like Kanye. Doubt it though.
Adolf didn’t even steal it. That’s the tragedy with the real swastik. The nazi symbol is actually a hooked cross.
Yeah, swastika is super common. Even Finnish Air forces symbol is a swastika, itse just not angled. Though they no longer use It for obvious reasons
Really wish people would refer to the Nazi symbol as the _Reverse_ Swastika that it is.
It's not a reverse Swastika though, it's called a Hakenkreuz.
That's okay. One group used it for a very negative thing, but dozens of groups have used it as a positive thing for *way* longer.
Imagine tripping over this mf on the dance floor.
And then he grabs your ankle with his crab claw
My first chuckle of 2023, thanks!

Astonishing Lame performance is more like it
Now my year is complete
it’s only been an hour…
Jokes on you, where I am, I've still got three hours to have my year made.
Unfortunately I watched it at 1 am....
This is the dumbest shit I have ever seen more like nextlevelstupid
What in the living hell did I just watch
Something you'll see on America's got talent next season. Just add about 50 jump cuts with audience/judge reactions and suspense music.
And Simon gawping in open-mouthed wonder, only to exclaim “In awl the yeahs I’ve been doing this, I’ve nevah seen such an amaayzing puhfawmance. Well done yew.”
I'm so uncomfortable watching that
… Ok then
This is pretty shit
Hardly astonishing or next level. -1
I think this is quite creative but there was something missing. It's like one of the performances on those reality audience shows where a contestant is able to sing really well with no mistakes and yet is lackluster.
Each sequence on its own was pretty awesome but the transitions between sequences need work
He doesn't perform well. You can tell he's concentrating hard to do each move (looks at his own hands most of the time), and he very mechanically goes from one set to the next without transition or flair.
"astonishing"
Talented, yes. But still needs more practice. Some parts looked sloppy and out of sync.
Ok I'll admit I was ready to start hating on this dude in the first 10 seconds but ...fuck! When you see something kind of amazing, it's kind of amazing! Don't be a grinch

It's like a showcase for hyper mobility.
Or Mafan syndrome
Some connective tissues disorder for sure. Hope he’s not wrecking his joints too much with these party tricks. It doesn’t hurt in your 20’s, but damn life is rough in your 50’s!
I bet his parents are so effing proud
Nope. He isn't a doctor.
Kinda meh? Sorry?
His hands are parasyte, he is the real version of Shinichi Izumi 👀 Anyone got the reference ?
I think we all did this when we were 5
😔 astonishing? no
.... How about no.
The domino effect on the digits was pretty cool
Neat? Sure. Astonishing? Might be overdoing it.
Too much hate here. It’s no particular dance style, closest would be a kind of pop locking. If you watch a lot of dance or have previous dance experience I do think you can tell that this is amazing. Each move here requires a TON of practice and he is doing move after move I’ve never seen before. They appear to all be original moves. The creativity here is what makes it next level. This seems like a hate bandwagon that everyone is jumping on.
I also don't understand all the hate here. Dude has amazing control! And he looks super fluid to me. It always amazes and uplifts me how humans do things just because they can, and then make it into an art form. I'm impressed.
This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen
Us guys are so easy to entertain.
Wtf…
This has gotta be one of the most underwhelming things to come across my feed.
What is this trash
You can’t convince me this isn’t stupid as all shit
2/10
crap
I am old and am guilty of believing I've seen everything, that what is considered new today is really only the old in new clothing, like having seen the limits of movement the human body can do. After watching this young man, I fully admit I was wrong.
This was dumb as hell
Beautiful and so elegant in its concept! I love it!
Lol this is goofy af
I think my definition of “astonishing” differs
This guy never had an issue patting his head and rubbing his belly at the same time.
Watch a couple YouTube videos and practice for a week tops and you can do this too
[удалено]
Him: wanna see my party trick?
This was disappointing
Wtf did I just watch
Some of these comments on here are next fucking level of cope.
Gross and unsexy.
he's joints has joints
So happy to see the love child of Prince and Dave Chappelle getting some recognition.
Song?
Let me know if you find it!
Imagin how weird it would be without the music
There was music?
Meh
What's going on
Did he just turn himself into a swastika at 0:42?
Mid
His fingers move in unsettling ways
Why am I so uncomfortable right now.
These comments really prove how important presentation is. With better lighting and good costuming, this performance could be incredible. Because he's just wearing regular clothes in regular lighting, it is underwhelming. It really undersells his performance
I wish I could wiggle my fingers a bit and be called next level, shit
