Disabled Chinese boy wows audiences with street dancing, dreams of performing at Asian Games
11-year-old who suffers from muscular dystrophy defies gravity after throwing away crutches to make difficult breakdance moves
A disabled 11-year-old boy in China has captivated social media after he ditched his crutches to perform complicated moves in a street dance competition.
Li Junhao, from Bozhou, Anhui province in central China, was raised by disabled parents after being diagnosed with congenital muscular dystrophy at birth, causing muscle atrophy and joint deformities in his legs.
A viral video posted online on April 9 shows Li confidently tossing aside his crutches, lifting himself into a handstand, and launching into a breakdancing routine filled with challenging moves.
During his performance, Li supports himself entirely with his arms and core, executing moves where his legs swing in the air in circular motions.
In a push-up position, he kept his legs off the floor while bouncing and rotating his entire body to the rhythm.
Li finishes with an iconic “freeze” pose, where he balances his entire body on one arm, defying gravity, captivating the audience, and earning applause from the crowd.
