INCREDIBLE MOVEMENT!

BRONCO is balancing himself on his arms and kicking like a bronco with his legs!

Dancing bears who are holding themselves on their arms are also referred to as Diving

bears for obvious reasons.

Moe is a veteran carver of Dancing bears especially Small Dancing bears.

Ponder this.

Almost every bear he carves is balanced on one of its appendages ie a foot or a paw.

This ability to balance the bears is an engineering feat as far as I am concerned.

And Moe takes on this extreme challenge with almost every bear he sculpts.

INCREDIBLE!
