INCREDIBLE MOVEMENT!
BRONCO is balancing himself on his arms and kicking like a bronco with his legs!
Dancing bears who are holding themselves on their arms are also referred to as Diving
bears for obvious reasons.
Moe is a veteran carver of Dancing bears especially Small Dancing bears.
Ponder this.
Almost every bear he carves is balanced on one of its appendages ie a foot or a paw.
This ability to balance the bears is an engineering feat as far as I am concerned.
And Moe takes on this extreme challenge with almost every bear he sculpts.
INCREDIBLE!
