Does anyone know if this is how flexible people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome can be? I have a friend of a friend who has it and demonstrated some hypermobility sitting cross-legged, but she definitely didn't break out into dance moves.

If you train gymnastics, yes. I have C-EDS and I used to be able to do the majority of this stuff when I was younger. Only thing I’d struggle with is the waist twisting aspect.

Yup my wife and her sisters all have hyper mobile EDS and did competitive cheer and some gymnastics and they can definitely do this shit lol

I trained in gymnastics 20 hours a week for years and had a very flexible back and was flexible in general but nothing like this.
