A traditional folk-dance movement creating the illusion of teleportation has taken social media by storm, drawing millions of imitators around the globe. The viral phenomenon stems from an eight-year-old instructional video taught by Professor Zhao Tiechun of the Beijing Dance Academy in 2018. Having accumulated over 750 million views, the clip displays a core technique from Anhui Huagudeng, a traditional Chinese folk dance formally recognised as intangible cultural heritage. Known as the "Shan-shen Step", or the "dodge step", the technique has gained massive popularity alongside related traditional moves such as "Langzi Tiqiu", representing a prodigal son kicking a ball, and Shandong Guzi Yangko's "Gouxiong Duosuomao", or a bear trembling. The viral combination has been performed by global social media users and celebrities alike, whilst quickly spurring vendors to roll out themed merchandise. Medical experts, however, have advised caution as hospitals report an influx of injuries tied to the trend. Orthopaedic specialists noted that the “Shan-shen Step” demands extensive dance training, warning that improper execution can lead to ACL tears, meniscus damage, or severe ankle sprains. #hkeye #chinanews #viralvideo#dancetrend #shanshenstep #intangibleculturalheritage #folkdance #china #chineseculture #dance #dancesteps #traditionalculture #culture #dodgestep #dodge #trend #imitation #shandong #anhui #socialmedia #yangko #huagudeng
