Dancing With 10-Foot Stilts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2018
- In Trindad and Tobago, “moko jumbies” soar high during Carnival. The traditional art of stilt dancing is a highlight of Trinidadian celebrations, but for stilt walker Adrian Young, it’s an everyday practice. For the past 21 years, he has been dancing among the clouds. Now, through his Future Jumbies youth group, he’s helping the next generation make their own strides.

This is a dance from the eastern part of Nigeria (West Africa). I was so excited to see it being performed on this channel. Am sure their ancestors if traced, could be from the eastern part of Nigeria.
What a wonderful thing to do, teaching the young ones and having fun doing it. Cheers man.
Where my Caribbean people at?
By the way I am from the Virgin Islands
Here, half bajan, half Jamaican
I love this channel it is so exciting to learn new things and every video is never boring or negative
This was so cool. My four year old was telling me a story about people walking on sticks so I said you want to see a video and I typed in ( people walking on stilts ) and this came up. He was so excited.
Man" our people have so much talent! That's amazing😉 Thanks for sharing and thumbs up!😉
Great to see something from my home country😊😊
T&T im from trinidad and i play a mokojumbi every carnival😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗
Im from trinidad and tobago🇹🇹
We need more ppl like this man I adore u sir all the way from Tallahassee 💯💯💯❤️💋💋💋
This is cool, but
How do they get off?
Ladder I live in tnt
Now I’m wondering how stable the ladder is
Moko jumbies have a way of coming down with the help of the all-important handlers. You simply turn your back to a handler, put your arms out, stoop and let yourself fall backwards into the hands of the handler. A lot of strength and trust involved. The ones on the higher sticks sit on walls or trees or anywhere high to untie themselves and then come down. And yes, as Epicness FTW says, they use short ladders, if available.
Thanks for the info, now I can sleep nice to-
and I just realized the Zodiac Killer was never caught.
The Muffled Crew yes he was caught
*2:05** the ants trying to get away from under our shoes*
