If you’ve yet to watch a person defy gravity, today is your lucky day.
The incredible professional dancers for the Washington Ballet shared six of their most difficult moves with The Washington Post, who slowed the video to show us each one suspended in mid-air. What they do with their bodies is near miraculous as they twist and contort with incredible command. A dancer in red who jumps nearly as high as she is tall says, “This jumps needs a lot of flexibility and power. Not everybody can do it.” I can say with complete certainty that I am most definitely not one of those people.
We’ve seen these small miracles executed by another talented dancer in a video we posted recently of the Ukrainian ballet’s Sergei Polunin performing to Hozier’s “Take Me To Church.” His captivating choreographed performance actually incorporates many of the extraordinary movements we witness in the video below (and manages to give us a visual interpretation of a fabulous song) — one right after another. And we’d be foolish not to once again share with you the intimate ballet performance by Princess Mecca Romero and Chris Stanley to Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” All excellent examples of the amazing capabilities of the human body through dance.
Pass on the wonder of this incredible video and SHARE it with your friends!
