My legs hurt just from watching this!
Emily Moskalenko is a Ukrainian acrobat who recently got the chance to show off her skills on the Romanian talent show Next Star. With just a stage, two poles, and bones that are possibly made of rubber, Emily performed a routine unlike anything that the judges had seen before. Did I mention she's only eight years old?
Although pole dancing is frequently attributed to being a strippers-only activity, it's actually an intricate form of dance that requires incredible amounts of strength, coordination, and flexibility. Maybe that's why no one was expecting this plus-sized woman to wow the judges when she showed them her skills! Emily proves that there doesn't have to be anything dirty about dancing on a pole, and she does it while literally wrapping herself around one. Seriously, how does her body even bend that way?! Both Emily and this six-year-old dancing queen have very, very bright careers ahead of them.
The most amazing part about Emily's performance is how easily she seems to pull off all her moves. I can't even touch my toes, but this tiny dancer can basically bend her knees backwards. Something tells me that this little girl will someday be a very big star!
If Emily's performance made your jaw hit the floor, SHARE this video with all your Facebook friends!
