Yup, remembering my semi-effective attempts to move by gliding long ago, my legs hurt watching this. Eliminating the dip as you walk… eliminating the natural semi-circular motion of pivoting on a fixed length rod, essentially… hurts after a surprisingly short amount of time. Lowering your center of gravity and never fully extending your legs, you throw evolved efficiency out the window.
And there r peoples who are trying ther best to destry it in many cunning ways... Irrespective of our identity and nationality if theres at least any little humane left in us then we should fight to not let it happen in any way..
@@nand87 i think we can strive to be better people than we were in the past while simultaneously keeping the beautiful parts of our history. many people in america share their beautiful cultures from all around the world- that’s the great part about living here.
@@nand87 But thats the whole point. Woke America is just a minority. The coastal, meteopolitan minority that lives in a bubble and has a lot of power. They in no way represent the majority, the culture. They represent the fake culture which is Hollywood and media.
In all seriousness, they've trained to specifically move only on the tips of their toes and minimize all movements below the waist, hiding the minor movements left by covering them in these kinds of dresses. The end result, as you can see, is that they look like they're floating and it's amazing!
Wow! How do they do it?! I wish the floor was see through and there were cameras to see the performers feet! Absolutely stunning to watch! Thanks for sharing!
This is probably the most amazing dance group that I have ever seen! The dancers look like they are on carousel! Must take years and years of patience and practice.
Incredibly beautiful! So graceful and light. I can only imagine the hundreds, if not thousands, of hours these artists spend practicing and refining their art. Absolutely stunning.
Russia at her very best. Keep dancing Russia. The world needs to see this beauty from you. Россия во всей красе. Продолжай танцевать, Россия. Мир должен увидеть эту красоту от вас.
It's things like this that makes me stop despairing of the rubbish, aggression and idiocy on the internet and be happy that it also enables us to see such beautiful spectacles.
Every time I watch this, I'm so captivated. I know I will never have the chance to see something like this, but I can dream. I love Russia and her music so much! We have nuthing even close to this here. .......forever greatful. Dewey L
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thats absolutely amazing they can move like that.... so hypnotizing they look like porcelain dolls. Unbelievable how there's no movement in their dresses or upper torso - they can move so quickly. This must be so difficult to do!!!
@@sonrazuma1572 lol, ethnic russian culture considered as Eastern European, if you didn't know. Не надо отделять русскую культуру от соседних восточноевропейских. Российская и русская культура разные вещи.
They look like dancers in a music box. Their skill level must be incredible! I think they dance on tiptoes the whole time. The long skirts help add to the illusion also.
WOH SUCH GRACE ON TIPTOES WHY DO PEOPLE HATE RUSSIANS I AM ENGLISH AND I LOVE RUSSIAN DANCING,EXELLENT REMEMBER FOLKS WE MUST ALL GET ALONG TO KEEP MANKIND ALIVE,THIS IS A ONE WAY TRIP ENJOY IT.PEACE.
Я как-то прочитал под одним из видео к "берёзке" коммент девушки, то ли латиноамериканки, то ли негритянки, которая профессионально занималась танцами. Каждый раз я вспоминаю его, когда смотрю этот танец. Она написала, что всегда думала, что в танце самое главное - движения, но оказалось, что иногда важно его отсутствие.
This is the famous swimming step; it is not just a swimming step, it is sliding on the ground like on water. This is how the image of a Russian beauty is created. The step is born in combination with the inner state of the artist. The secret of this step is not only in the legs. Like many classical choreographic elements, the floating step is based on the setting of the body, hands, on the fact that the artist knows: he is dancing!
Hello from Thailand. There're many things I've read and watched about Russia. Their Ancient Dance is very different from mine, it really impressed me and I think it could impress many Thai people, too. I had watched ancient Russian dances before (so long ago) but it's not the same as this dance in Video Clip. I was a dancer (my job) about 12 years ago. Learning to dance was difficult for me sometimes. To learn how to dance like this Video isn't easy for a man like me. Still love to watch you guys dance anyway.
They are beautiful and graceful and even tho it’s been five years since this was posted it still deserves to be seen and recognized as something amazing and also at the end they kinda look like their forming a conga line
The amount of body control must be crazy high. I only imagine to move like that you have to make deliberate small and fast steps, while controlling your upper body not to do what it innately wants to, aka sway with the steps. Frighteningly efficient control. I like it, and am impressed.
This is so mesmerizing. This is beauty. This is art. When a performance stops you dead in your tracks and conveys a feeling of beauty and suspense where words fail.
I'm so inspired about this phenomenon dance because of who they are. It's their history, culture and heritage through dance and music .. so traditional but so phenomenon. ☺️
I have been going on a binge of this type of music, and this is one of three songs I have stood up and clapped they were so awesome.! Clap clap clap five stars I can't say enough. It's like they're on air.. I was enthralled. Thanks for dancing ladies! You're American fan, professor Dewey L.
This is incredible! Their pace, movements, expressions got me ERORR404, like they aren't dolls but really real human dancing!!it's so cool something like this actually exists! Culture is really amazing
This sense of pride I get is astounding, I'm not even Russian. This sense of European culture is amazing.
Same. I believe europe is for europeans and we may claim each other’s culture!
Most absolutely true and the reason of why I have this channel.

When did Russia become European?

The secret is that they are all standing on really fast turtles that have been receiving dance lessons.
@@theblackbaron4119 Best explanation I've seen of this yet lmao

It almost looks like they're wearing roller skates under the dresses. That's incredible.

Ikr
I wore a kimono once and my calves were burning after walking 30 feet. I can't imagine what these ladies go through to do something so fluid.
They seem to be gliding it's beautiful and as they say whoever says beauty is hard work but can come effortless.
Imagine seeing a lady moving like that at night towards you?
Holy fuck
That'd be very scary
Hell nah. 😂
With white dress,long hair,pale face..... You can't scream... Too scare to scream
I'd dance straight to her Like a Soldier & take her hand
creepy and satisfying at the same time
Why creepy?
Дмитрий Outpost i find it creepy as well. Its because they are not moving like humans. Yes it looks good, but its so unusual it makes it creepy
More beautiful than creepy
Beautiful and creepy is like the Russian standard.
its not creepy to me cuz ik how there doing it
Russia somehow preserved its unique culture.. makes me feel there’s still hope in humanity.
And then there's America with the woke wave

very small, yet quick steps - hidden by the wide crinolines under their dresses
I can imagin these girls getting into a fight and instead of a "sassy strut away" they'd just float away after roasting the shit out of someone XD
what if its a good roast doe shall it continue?
😂😂😂
“Idk man, it was wild. She just floated away after. I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.”
Imagine how much strength are in their calves.
Это не настолько направленно на мышцы икр, сколько на все тело, корпус-спина. Это все должно быть максимально закреплено.
