The 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic trailer featured 500 people dancing in the sky in one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing performances I’ve seen to date.
Dancers – better described as acrobats – move through the air in perfect time with the music. Flawlessly hued lights shift over their bodies, tricking our eye, at times, into believing their limbs are made of rubber. The 1:56 mark is my absolute favorite, which can only be described as a 500-person Christmas tree floating in the air. Or is it a pyramid? Whatever it is, it's absolutely breathtaking.
After watching this, I’m convinced that no combination of special effects could recreate what happens when dancers come together and use their strength and talent to create art in motion. The performance gets more and more impressive the longer you watch. And just when you think the group has shown you all it's capable of, something happens around the seven-minute mark that will blow your mind all over again.
Make sure to watch this routine in full, because it's simply incredible!
Please SHARE these beautiful dancers with all of your friends if you found yourself as mesmerized as I am!
