This mighty little diving bear is bent so far backward, he seems like he will topple over.

But his arm is so strong, he can maintain this awkward dive for the rest of time!

Have you noticed that Small Dancing Bears have a joie de vivre that is contagious?

When they “dance” (balanced on one or two or even three different paws), their life force is charged with an energy that is happy and joyous!

They haven’t a care in the world.

It’s one of the reasons we love small bears so much.

They remind us that it is possible for life to be simpler and to have joy as a goal.
