Shaa has carved a Happy Dancing Bear that can balance on either of its hind feet. 

This is known as a two way Dancing bear. 

Artists who can carve a 2, 3, or 4 way bears must be experienced and skilled because it is difficult to be able to balance a bear in this manner.

This is a particularly beautiful classic Dancing bear. The color is gorgeous and the movements are precise. I especially am attracted to the chunky body habitus of this carving.  It has that Winnie the Pooh personna.
