When he made this dude..
Semyon Chudin.
Remember that name! You saw it here first! Yes, a Russian danseur in his mid-20s... not a whole lot YET, on youtube... but this dude's star is rising!
I think I kinda wanna be his boyfriend... I'd just sit there and stare at his feet all day... LOL
Yes, yes, yes... the ballerinas are great too... but folks... THIS is how its done!!!
Oh man... oh man... Giselle... Albrecht... if you wanna fast forward through the slow stuff... go straight to 6:50 and there you will see the Angels weeping...
Mr. Chudin certainly has a nice tuchus! Also, he makes his body look so long. Ballet is so pretty.

At 1:09 I held my breath waiting for her leg to come crashing down. (Btw, unrelated stuff- the thunder in my thighs is disappearing! Yay!)
ReplyDeleteThe video refuses to load after half hour! But I am determined. I AM going to add "watched ballet" to my CV today.
She's on the TIPS of her toes. How? This is crazy. How? 1:50 Tips of toes of ONE leg and circling. Why? OMG.
2:46 owwwwww
3:01 somebody help!
Telling myself- "It's okay. She's surely enjoying it. Don't worry."
3:33 haha! This is funny. Cute. (and she repeats for my happiness. :D)
4:30 Oooh. People know when to clap. I didn't realize one part got over. (Making mental note.)
4:41 What? Oh my Lord!
I need training to even watch this stuff in peace.
5:51 My heart is flopping. What kind of feet are those? Springy.
6:27 I can't even try this to lose weight!
6:32 Haha! I like how she runs off!!!
7:00 Now the boy is at it, too. Oooh.
That blue stuff looks like body-paint to be honest.
7:19 I think he's going to faint at this rate.
Lexie, do you do all of THIS?
7:52 He fainted. This is insane. You need rest, my boy.
8:15 Somebody get him a doctor!
Oooh. His resuscitation has arrived! Haha!
He's even lying there with toes pointed. I would have blasted the audience for clapping and run off.
9:06 I think she is sad that she hasn't fainted yet. She's leaving no stone unturned.
9:15 Oooh. Return of the fainted character!
9:28 Look at that! She's showing off to him because she didn't faint.
9:32 Silly guy says, "I can, too. I can!"
OMG. It's over!
Lex, I WATCHED BALLET!!!!!
Oh V... you are toooooooooo cute. I am going to write about all of that, very soon. Now, do I do all of that??? Oh my... well, first of all, my child... I'm fifty five... and with chronis tendinitis on my left leg/ankle okay? :))) When I was 25, I could do most of that and was very good at jumps and beats (where they hit their legs or ankles together when they jump)... The pointe work... (pointe or toe shoes) and the multiple turns on one leg I was never very good at and yes her feet are grotesquely flexible and he is absolutely INSANE, in every way possible. They are total FREAKS!!! But... oh, how glorious! One day, I'll post some pics of me when I was young. I don't have too much... but I have a few. :)
ReplyDeleteCan you do a video of you dancing? It'll be SO fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little open-mouthed still to know that you could do that jumping thing at 25. My body needs two if not four limbs to bear it's weight. It's true.
