A group of American dancers took their art to great heights on Wednesday, performing a daring ballet routine on the side of a 650-foot skyscraper in Shanghai.

The performers, of the Bandaloop dance troupe, are seen dancing to symphony music on the glass windows of the city's 43-floor Jing An Kerry Centre as they are suspended in the air by wire cords in a video of the impressive feat.

And their amazing routine was just a rehearsal for the real thing, which they'll perform for the 17th Shanghai International Arts Festival, starting on October 16 and running through November 16.

The Bandaloop dance company specializes in vertical performances, weaving choreography and climbing skills to produce the rare art form.

Its members have performed at a wide range of breathtaking locations and historical sites, including The New York Stock Exchange, the IBM Headquarters in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the National Museum in Singapore. 

Founded by choreographer and artistic director Amelia Rudolph, the dance troupe seeks to push the boundaries of modern dance.

After the Shanghai rehearsal, the company took to Instagram to express its excitement about the performance.

'How do you say "ridiculously fun" in Mandarin? That's how we would describe today at the office,' Bandaloop captioned a shot of three male dancers soaring alongside the skyscraper. 

Many bystanders were surprised as they took in the show during their commute. Voices are heard speaking animatedly in Mandarin in the video clip.

The Shanghai International Arts Festival began in 1999 as a way for China to embrace innovation in art and culture.

It consists of stage performances, exhibitions, forums and seminars featuring artists from throughout the world.

Many of the shows and performances will be open to the public, and a number of events will be broadcast on television.
