Especially that position on the shoulder, she right in the meat but it's slightly past his joint so there's real weight on the arm that he has to hold up
I based when I did circus training. Being the base is one kf those jobs that gets the least glory, but its really hard work. You have to develop complete trust with your partner. Was a great workout for the core. And gives you some hard core bruises. But I always preffered it to flying.
Circus performer here! You practice in a gym with some serious mats, and you have one or more spotters around. Pretty much like cheerleading. And you just hurt yourself a lot. Also like cheerleading. People who can do those sorts of bends don't really strain to do those bends, so while she is amazing, most of the raw effort she's putting forth would be in the ballet part. (Next most obvious question: Yes, it hurts being that guy. He has big bruises where she puts those pointe shoes. You cover them with makeup, or wear costumes with flesh-tone covering those spots, and ignore it.)
@@emilyli3393 they're just saying that the training process is kind of similar to how cheerleaders train, as that might be more familiar to some people than how circus artists train. They, in no way, discredit the effort and skill that went in to this, and they never said that cheerleaders can do this. There might be some out there who can, but I have no idea
I think its true what u said about people who can bend like this not straining for it.. my sister used to be one of those totally crazy benders and boy i was jealous 🤣 -we trained in ballet as kids for some years. Though in the i was the one who became a professional dancer (not in ballet), she took another road 🙃
Actually I beg to differ about her not needing to make such effort due to natural bendiness. She most definitely would’ve trained from super young, I’m talking like approx 3-4 years old? There are vids showing little kids crying whilst contorting their bodies into extreme flexibility all over the net. Just like world class gymnasts have been doing for decades, it’s not just dance or circus acts.
@@tiarianamanna973 It’s not just about how bendy you are like you can be naturally hypermobile and stuff muscles or really good at active stretching vs passive
I've seen some people grumble that "that's not ballet!" That misses the point. This is a Chinese production inspired by Swan Lake, incorporating Chinese acrobatics, and it's beautiful. One thing you should also look up is the pas de quatre from this production. Instead of little swans, it's four male performers as little frogs. It's both adorable and really impressive.
This seemed like a real swan to me. She seemed so light, like an actual bird. She was so confident, and moved how I would imagine a swan would. Light, airy, basically floating. This is amazing.
so this is a variation also known as "Butterfly Lovers" woven into Swan Lake and it is quite exquisite. I think it may be the same couple as well, as you can imagine not many people attempt this variation. Love you Josephine!
That lady's balance was supernatural & that guy's pain tolerance is mind boggling! (~90 lbs on 4 square inches of his shoulder) WTF!!!!! She balanced en pointe on HIS HEAD!!!! How in the hell is that possible?! Can someone confirm that was not video trickery?
It’s not video trickery, BUT the man is wearing a headpiece. It’s a small round disc with a flat spot that straps under his chin. This couple performs a lot (be sure to watch their various got talent performances! Their performances on Asia’s got talent are truly incredible!) but generally just before she goes en pointe on his head, she will do some dramatic floor work while he disappears a moment behind her. That’s when he puts on the headpiece - he returns, quickly boosts her up, and then you’re amazed at their finale trick. Probably why you didn’t notice the headpiece :)
that pair is the most impressive people I have ever seen. The strength, the grace, the balance, the beauty! Not even shaking or running around trying to stay balanced as you'll often see when people try to balance (Im think about cheerleading). Damn son. Her inner ears doing the work. She did a full spin on top of his head!
From what I’ve heard, the two lead dancers are (or at least have been) a married couple in real life as well, which could at least partially explain how they’re so well synchronized with each other and have this total trust for each other beyond what you see from just dance partners. I have seen them on TV several years ago and several times on TH-cam because they’re just so amazing. Their balance and strength is just out of this world, she do things most people can’t even do on a floor or on a more solid surface than a shoulder, and he’s got the strength and balance to have someone on pointe on his shoulders and head
I had tears too! Omg!! This was insane! All the dancers are beautiful but also knowing China’s program my heart breaks for them. The sacrifice they’ve made the hard work they have to endured. What an amazing performance . Thank you for reacting to this!
This IS amazing. He is amazing, too. What's also true is that they both probably started training at a very young age, probably preschool age, and were relentlessly trained since, most likely away from their families and with nothing but training for years and years, with every aspect of their lives totally controlled to achieve such perfection. The result is indeed stunning. The cost to the children they were must have been, too. It is always a mix of awe and sadness to see it.
@@too_tired_for_this for me it gets disturbing when they most likely started as children (as Annie NYC above said) & had no life other than their training, yes the result is beautiful but at what cost?
@@lil-WolfyWolf what people often don't understand is that a lot of these children who get selected for training camps come from not very well off families, and often lead a better life than they would have if not selected. Not denying that they have very strict childhoods, but they and their families usually are very grateful and happy for them to be chosen
@@angedejeudi That's only if they make it; if not they're discarded with no education and no formidable skills - th-cam.com/video/o81tuQSXbiw/w-d-xo.html. Granted the story in this clip has most probably been somewhat sensationalised, but if you think about the population of China and the amount of children they have in these regimes in comparison to the likelihood of success, the majority would have been better off staying with their families.
I feel like the lady definitely has ballet training. Her lines are really clean and at a professional level. Also this would be a cool person to hire for a pointe shoe ad!
Let's just talked about how the Bellarine was so chill like she was on point on the dudes head . And the dude was so chill to like if I had a person on my shoulder on point my face would be different than the guy's
She's amazing! I've a cousin who is a classically trained ballerina. She was picked up by a Cirque de Soliel type travelling showcase some years ago. (I don't recall which one). She went on to train on those aerial silks and trapeze while with them (maybe other acts too, I'm not sure). I can't bring myself to watch her performances. I'd just have a heart attack seeing what she does.
The tutu design was so pretty. Really looked like swan feathers. And they had to have like, some kinda mind meld going on. The absolute trust and stregth and attention to one another to pull off such feats. Truly shows the insane amount of practice and work they put into it pull that off so beautifully on show day.
Absolutely remarkable. China has a long tradition of acrobatics. This fusion with ballet was creative and wonderful. Credit to the dancers that they are definitely ballet trained. I have seen some Chinese acts that had performers en pointe without the turnout, carriage, arms, etc and it is jarring. The choreography here was musical and lyrical and nicely staged. What a showcase for this couple of otherworldly ability and artistry.
"Somebody tell me, does she have any bones?" ..... same energy here watching and I have Ehlers-Danlos and even my bones, ligaments and tendons are traumatised. The ankles on that woman! So stable and in ways I cannot imagine. That partnering is next level. I bet she was on a fly harness to practice those things.
Aren't they the couple that were on a few "got talent" shows (Britain, The Champion, Asia, Worlds) a few years back? Gao Lin & Liu Xin, they are amazing.
It's really cool to see that they worked acrobatic gymnastics into this version of Swan Lake. Ik it's not exactly dance but I would love to see you react to acrobatic gymnastics (especially worlds level stuff) it's really cool!
A huge childhood memory of mine is going to my grandmother's house as a little girl and watching "Chinese Acrobats". It was a DVD of a show and I always blew my mind away, the Chinese are certainly talented. I think we watched it every time we went haha. Either that or the one about the Israeli Defence Force Aviation 😂😅
I watch to first WATCH Your reactions. THEN I actually watch what you are watching, because you are so animated, it makes the second time that much more exciting! Your face tells So many tales!
I think it’s really obvious that she’s highly trained in both disciplines. How many sole acrobats do you know with that port de bras and pointe work without any ballet training lol It's doesn't have to be the case that she's an acrobat trying to do ballet or a ballerina trying to do acrobatics, she's both through and through.
Holy god....what did I just watch...she was inhuman. I still can't breath it was so beautiful and insane to watch. What did I just see? i need to watch it again!
When she goes onpoint on his head he has a headress with a small platteau on. That's where she has her pointshoe on. Hair is a to unstable and to uncontrolable underground.
I teared up at the same spot Josephine, just so powerful. I know it's not ballet but see this makes me want to see you react to Olympic ice dance and pairs skating! The pairs especially do some truly wild lifts and throws!
When she starting turning en pointe on his shoulder my first thought was of blisters on the poor man's shoulder! Can you imagine if the stage wasn't perfectly clean and she was grinding a bit of sand in there?
As insanely impressive as she is, his strength and balance is absolutely the star. I’m guessing she’s probably in the 110-130lbs range. It’s hard to play chicken in a pool with someone. He’s doing all of this and making it look natural.
I'm a dancer (Breaking) and a contortionist in training and I can tell you, although I have friends performing for Cirque du Soleil, I have never seen something like this. It's amazing!! Ballet, Hand to hand balancing, Contortion, Acrobatics. There are so many disciplines that are coming together in this. I'm shocked! 😯
Josephine. I’m a 62-year-old former chorus boy. I LOVE your videos so much and have shared them with my friends who teach ballet. Keep it up: you are so charming and talented.
Along the same lines (not strictly dance, but acro), watch the Men's Acro World Finals 2018. I watch it every now and then when I need some wholesome joy. lol
I was one of those who sent you this in the comments of another video! Every time you exclaimed “Oh my god, she’s…”, I was saying, “Wait until you see what she does next!” to my iPad. I first saw this in 2010 and I was blown away then. The pirouette on his head was almost unbelievable. I can’t believe you’d never seen this before now. Wouldn’t you love to meet them?
Every single, time at the start where the girl did contortion and stuff I kept thinking “HASHDAOWEKODJSHEKSKAJMEKR HOW ARE YOUR BONES NOT BROKEN ARE YOU JUST A NOODLE?!”
I love all of your videos Josephine! But especially this one, as you were so comically reactive to their performance. Rightly so ☝🏼as their poses were amazing. Have a great day!
Ultra flexible people that have being trained are called contortionists. Unfortunately being ultra flexible can come as part of a syndrome that is called neurocardiogenic syndrome that involves cardiac problems that can go from mild to severe.
My ballet teacher recommended you to us 🤗❤️❤️🥰 personally I already watched some of ur videos, but I just think that is so cool for a show of ur exposure.
Misha Tchoupakov told me they worked on this routine for seven years and the man's shoulder bones were both broken from the weight of her shoe, despite how tiny she is. Incredible sacrifice, this wasn't thrown together in a year.
A different version of this routine with these same two principal dancers was going around about 10 years ago. So it really has been a long time. In the original that I saw, I think about 2005, another man came out of the shadows to spot for the complicated tricks, so there was always someone there to catch her. I would think that the corpes might have people placed to catch her in case there was a mishap.
....... FIRST OF ALL THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! SHE SHE SHE........SHE WAS ON HIS HEAD!!!! AND STANDING ON POINT!!! THIS MAKES ME RETHINK "our" TYPE OF BALLET HERE IN THE USA. WE SHOULD TRY THIS AMAZING STUFF!!! sHE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO STRONG!!
I was thinking the same thing Josephine, that guy was incredible holding her up and being still enough for her to do all that is a huge thing.
Yes how especially when she just DID A SCORPION ON HIM
Especially that position on the shoulder, she right in the meat but it's slightly past his joint so there's real weight on the arm that he has to hold up
I can't even imagine how strong he is, he can't even let his muscles shake from fatigue or she goes down
I based when I did circus training. Being the base is one kf those jobs that gets the least glory, but its really hard work. You have to develop complete trust with your partner.
Was a great workout for the core. And gives you some hard core bruises. But I always preffered it to flying.
if he tripped

I've seen this live its amazing!
It’s hard to really determine whether she’s a classically trained ballet dancer or a acrobat/circus performer. That was amazing either way!

I love how they mix ballet and acrobats. It's so original and impressive.

That was amazing!!!
The absolute talent and control needed to do that. Wow. I’m impressed.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that cries at all sorts of performances.
Oh my GOD I now absolutely know the definition of “breathtaking”. 😱 I am so. Gagged.
Omg i dont like tricks but this blows my mind. She can be the number 1 ballerina in the world
Wow! I have to see this!
That takes so much fucking skill and trust omg
The woman is actually incredible but the guy is so underrated he had a whole person on pointe standing on his head like- CRAZY
WOW!!! They are amazing!

Ultra flexible people that have being trained are called contortionists. Unfortunately being ultra flexible can come as part of a syndrome that is called neurocardiogenic syndrome that involves cardiac problems that can go from mild to severe.
Fast forward 2 years from now to see all of these moves become required to place at YAGP
Yeah, her knees are so hyperextended it hurts to watch
I just have EDS, I'm flexible but have chronic pain
As a Chinese and a ballerina, I truly appreciate that hard core poses
Holy crap! That was insane! 😱😱😱
Ahhhh you watched it!!
respect to the man who was there just in case she fell ☝️
I'm not going to die until I see this Swan Lake !!!!
Wow! You have to be strong to go on pointe bit this,this is something else. It's beautiful 😱😍
