A video showing men performing a peacock dance went viral online recently. The dancers were all head teachers of students from the Jiaozuo Yuhua Experimental School, a high school in Henan province, who are preparing to take the gaokao (national college entrance exam), which began on Wednesday.

Dressed in costumes, the men wiggled their bodies to the music to imitate peacocks, which amused the audience at the graduation party and online.

Some netizens commented that "They looked very enchanting" or "They have risked it all".

Organizers said the fun dancing aimed to ease the pressure of students and wish them well on the gaokao.
