This is the hilarious moment schoolboys suffered an amusing mishap while learning a Chinese lion dance.

Footage shows two students rehearsing their choreography for an upcoming performance in Sidoarjo Regency, Indonesia.

Nata, 17, can be seen holding the back of his partner's trousers, Dimas, to support his weight as he jumps over a wooden bench on September 27.

The 18-year-old teenager in a red shirt managed to leap high with his friend supporting him from behind.

However, the student in black then waved at the camera just as his teammate attempted another jump, causing the boy to tumble to the ground.

He immediately crouched down to help his partner back up as their classmates burst into laughter at the comical mishap.
