Oh, now I know the African-America young performers in New York subway and sometimes on New York streets in 2011, learned their moves and tricks from the Tibetans. This film said to shot in 1940-1950 before the Chinese invasion, (You see no one Chinese in this entire footage.) Do you think there are any connections, because the moves and tricks are exactly the same…. I wonder? Highly developed and cultured people and no killing of any animals, except sheep and yak.
