The video poster wrote in the caption, "This is the Zaouli dance of Central Ivory Coast and is labelled as the most impossible dance in the world!"

The viral video has grabbed around 5 million views so far. In the video, the performer can be seen moving his feet extremely fast, which seems highly impossible to match.

According to UNESCO, the dance is "a tribute to feminine beauty. Zaouli is inspired by two masks: the Blou and the Djela. Its other name, Djela lou Zaouli, means Zaouli, the daughter of Djela. In a single event, the practice brings together sculpture (the mask), weaving (the costume), music (the band and song), and dance."

"Zaouli plays an educational, playful and aesthetic role, contributes to environmental preservation, conveys the cultural identity of its bearers; and it promotes integration and social cohesion."
