sooo smoooooooooooth dancing!
amazing!
ohh read this about the dude...
Junior's leg isn't fake/amputated/etc. He had polio when he was 5 and lost most of the muscle in his right leg, that is why he always wears pants and walks with a slight limp

That kinda explains why those pushups look so easy on him (less lower weight to handle). Were did you find that info ? Is it legit ?

He can do one-arm planches aswell, it's not in the clip though.
His name is
Junior Bosila Banja and he's from Saint Malo, France. To me he looks like his legs are still prettymuch fully developed so i wouldn't say he has easy game with them.
Here two of the many other dancers with leg impairments:
Lazylegs from Canada.
Checho from Chile.
Two other "fully functional" dancers with somewhat similar emphasis on the arms:
Darkness form Korea.
Kujo from the USA (posted him in the climbing thread iirc).

My handstand pushups (without using the wall as support) are looking too easy compared to these guys.
God must have had fun while rigging these characters

... wow, thank you for those links. This stuff is awesome.
I knew about "darkness" but the others are amazing as well. The "lazylegs" is quite impressive !

One thing I notice is that both the bboys and those that practice parkour, they all have a common gymnastics background.
