my brain wants to see this happening faster.. even at 2x it wasn't satisfied. Kudos to all who train to do this though, their bodies must be feeling pain in places I didn't even know exist >

[@camilaribeiro9191]

YES

[@Kahsimiah]

I just tried to watch this in real time. Don't get me wrong, if I knew this was coming during the show and had to pee, that would be my cue. I'm sure it's absolutely difficult to do and deserves applause, but it's a number from 1933, and it absolutely shows.

[@sh4rkb4it]

you understand that it could be super dangerous to try and rush this, right? like, it’s not just slow for the sake of being slow. it looks simple but this sequence is EXTREMELY challenging. literally everyone has to have perfect timing, balance, and must be able to support the girls in front of her. some pretty nasty injuries could result from this going wrong.

[@Kahsimiah]

@sh4rkb4it yes, I know. But it just doesn't look like anything, and I would scrap it in a heartbeat for one of the modern moves these dancers can do today. There are a ton of new things this group could do that would let their dynamics really show.

[@divinelysacredco]

It going slow is the best part. Watching gravity take over has me on the edge of my seat!

[@Doku666]

These are all women, and they do a damn good job

[@massi2388]

they are falling backwards

[@2stoned2care808]

I don't understand what is so great about this

[@Elegantly_Bored]

it takes a lot of core strength

[@dong6839]

​@@Elegantly_Boredto lean back and have the person behind you hold you?

[@Rum-Runner]

⁠@@Elegantly_BoredI mean, yeah, but that doesn’t make it particularly interesting to watch. My subjective opinion, of course, and to each their own, but I don’t think that something being difficult to do is grounds enough to justify it being featured as entertainment. Don’t get me wrong, it’s impressive, and I admire the effort they put in, but I don’t think that it’s all that.

[@mygirldarby]

​@@Rum-Runner how can you say it's impressive but not "all that" in the same sentence? If it's impressive, then by definition, it is all that!

[@Rum-Runner]

@@mygirldarby Because there’s a difference between something impressive and something entertaining (they often overlap, but they are not the same thing). I admire the effort, as I understand that this involves a great deal of difficulty, but that doesn’t add entertainment value in and of itself.

[@lilgrannyari]

I don't really get this

[@jamaicanmelaughalot]

Wow thats so slow

[@xdustyxsteedx21]

I watched this in 2x, i think youtube is broken, it still played in .5x 😑

[@locofinchaviary]

This is just.... MAGIC

[@stonesymmetry]

No it’s not.. it’s crap. So slow it’s not even enjoyable

[@locofinchaviary]

@@stonesymmetry its supposed to be slow... but ok kid. 🙄

[@Elegantly_Bored]

@@stonesymmetry they’re all in high heeled boots, so one reason is safety. another reason is because they’re supposed to be toys.

[@piecesofstarlight]

Because they're toys. Bruh. Did I miss something. Do toys now have anti-gravity packs hidden inside them.

[@derekgrey3927]

@@Elegantly_Bored I just went and check my kids toy soldiers and they fall much faster.

This reminds me of a kid I saw showing off his new kicking skills. He was kicking at ankle height.

Love it!!!

[@Brian_Crow]

I once laid on the floor for two hours, pretending I had been shot and killed. Maybe I should go on tour... 🤔

[@julieb3264]

the guy at the back must have a spine made of steel. lol. was great to watch tho. was just painfully slow. faster would have been a bit better

[@maruschke2911]

I don’t see the „fun“/„fascinating“/„interesting“ or even the complexity of this number. I mean: why?😂

[@cinzabeary5226]

It's all physics and strength for the dancers. But for the audience it's the suspense and test of patience. Something society is lacking, so this number has become underappreciated in recent years, it seems. I do agree that during the middle of the fall my mind started wandering. Sometimes great effort is valued more with those involved than the observer.

[@maruschke2911]

@@cinzabeary5226 If they want to test the patience of the audience they could have just stand still for a minute. 😂

I don't get why this is even done. It just looks lame. If it was faster it would be more interesting to see.

That took too long mang

[@NinaTurk1]

does it have to be that slow? i feel like it loses effect

[@olgacruz4726]

By all means, take the place of the last person at full speed 😊

[@Brian_Crow]

Slowest dominoes ever.

[@soapbox187]

I was thinking why isnt this going any faster? Then it hit me if it did go faster or even free fall the last fella would probably experience thousands of pounds of force on him and most likely die cause you know momentum, speed and mass. Yikes!

[@nirvanaheights]

the Rockettes are all women

[@gh3meister]

I don't think that is what would happen. With dominoes the ending is just as fast as the beginning

[@mygirldarby]

Fella? They're women.

[@soapbox187]

@gh3meister you don't think? There is kinetic energy along the chain. Since domino's are very light they might not exhibit as readily a perpetual force as human mass. With each subsequent body the force of the individual is its mass multiplied by its free fall speed which, if you multiply that by the amount of people, then there would be some degree of injury at the very least when the last fella strikes the floor. But the last domino certainly falls faster than the first one since energy cannot be destroyed just transferred somewhere else. That somewhere else is each subsequent domino piece. But what do I know? Im no physicist haha. Just using common sense.

[@DANiCL4WS]

it would be cooler if it was a little faster

[@Phlegethon]

lol I thought it was suppose to be much faster when they made it sound so difficult - ever seen the professional dancers in China?

[@kanekisama5491]

They do that way for safety reasons and it's difficult because they have to fall really slowly and sustain the weight of each other and, please, don't compare different culture as better or worst

[@Phlegethon]

It’s worse. It’s just undeniably worse.

[@Phlegethon]

It’s like comparing pro athletes to little league

for safety? so they dont fall and break bones or something? like think…

[@myothergem]

@@nadialogy i did think. And i thought they are moving so slow that it looks Like they can afford to move a lot faster. It looks Like they are trying to learn something. The back if the line moved faster and it looked better. But they look re ;tar !ded

I’m amazed that these women can do this. It takes a lot of strength and coordination. I see many of you said it was to slow. I would like to see you people up on the stage doing it faster. Everything looks easy when someone else is doing it.

If they were men it.could be done way faster
