More than 700 students assemble in the playgrounds at Duping primary school in Chongqing, south west China every day for the body-popping performances.

他们练习的是MJ的Dangerous,据说这是从菲律宾一家监狱里犯人集体跳Thriller受到的启发。

Headmaster Wan Lu, 36, explained: "We used to practice tai chi but the students said they wanted to do something more modern.
校长说:“本来学生们是练习太极,但是他们说想玩点更时尚的。”

"This is fun and it is also very good exercise for them. They have other routines but this one is their favourite."
“跳舞挺有意思的,也是很好的锻炼方法。他们还是有其他的课外操, 但是他们最喜欢的是这个。”
