Georgian Dancers Push Their Physical Limits for Tradition

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2017
- When dancer David Chanishvili is on stage, he believes that he can fly. Indeed, he appears to glide through the air with ease while performing for the traditional Sukhishvili Georgian National Ballet in Tbilisi, Georgia. But don’t let his strength and grace fool you: to become a part of this dance troop requires rigorous training, athleticism and skill. Its blend of folk dance, classical ballet and modern dance originated over 70 years ago with the grandparents of current director Nino Sukhishvili. Now, the 100+ member ensemble travels the world bringing Georgian dance front and center stage.

They need georgian dancers in the georgian military. We'd be too scared to fight against a spinning ballerina with a machine gun
Chaika Gaz agreed
This style was used in wars but after guns came in play it got useless so it was turned into a dance style .
It actually captures reason why Georgians were wining wars with small amounts of people against ... well a lot
*Georgian Military installed spinbot.exe*

Rofl!
Uncultured people: Real men don't do ballet.
Guys of the Georgian National Ballet: _could probably murder you while dancing_
Also uncultured people: white people have no culture
"White people can't dance"
ピップさん
why do you have to bring white people into a good thing like this
@@graciana.13 because Americans (who own most of the global media) have his concept that white people don't have culture and as a Greek person that just pisses me off
@@ilvailvandoniherde496 first off this is an ideology a lot of Americans have, regardless of race. And it's stupid as shit
I would not want to fight with them. They seem like they can jump and spin on my head effortlessly
CHAOS CHAOS lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a georgian i can confirm we jump and spin on peoples heads.
🤣🤣😂
Kartvelian Mapping that’s why I’m scared to visit Georgia.. I don’t want people spinning on my head, that’s creepy
this is really cool and amazing but imagine you make a wrong turn down a dark alley in georgia and theres like a squad of dudes coming at you like this
As a resident of Georgia I can 100% confirm this actually happens all the time.
Like the gangs in West Side Story? Nah, I'm good!
XD
LMFAOOOO
alright now there needs to be a georgian version of West Side Story.
In a world where cultural traditions and ways of life are dying out every day, it makes me really happy to see this traditional dance live on.
Nick C Lol I read the start of your comment like the start of a movie trailer then realized you were being serious 😶
BearWithMe hahaha fucking Bee Movie
Culture will never die. It changes as nations get influenced by other nations. No one is immune. Either accept humanity is evolving or cling to a belief until your death. Either way, humanity moves forward. Nothing we create ever stays the same, even the wheel is better today than it was when invented.
iLoveTurtlesHaha Tradition is getting replaced with new ideas, but not naturally. It's more like old beliefs and principals are being pushed aside for new ones.
Nick C the world is very Cultured. Dont look st from your Western lens.
Ballerinas: we have special shoes with wood to help us balance while on pointe
Georgian dancers: are we a joke to you?
Considering ballet shoes alone fuck up ballerinas' feet, yes, they are a joke.
Bruh u have to do special kind of treatment to your feet to get this strong so it supports weight of your body
Like putting your feet in hot ass water with sea salt
@@seigeengine considering that our shoes are so thin and you have to put as much power in your moves as possible, no. People literally get knee problems and knee pain that cant be cured untill you reach a specific age and then it needs a surgery.
@@kartvelianmapping808 Congrats, you didn't understand my comment.
@@kartvelianmapping808 for ballet, ballerinas have pointe shoes that let them dance on the very tip of their toes, so they often have cramps and their toes will be really sore. without support it's almost impossible to do that.
If we can master this dancing technique, then we’ll also be master in martial arts, swimming, running, jumping,.........
Sok Sothearith so it a win win situation..

Damn. And I thought Ballet was hard.
INDIGO BLUEoO It is very hard.
Its not ballet im from georgia and this georgian guy who is in video he says he is dancing in sukhishvili. Sukhishvili coach which is teaching dance combine georgian dance and ballet but its worse dance in georgia many georgians dont like sukhisvili because of they combine ballet so georgian dance needs more energy and movement than this shit ballet dance
lucas big oh, stop talking shit! "many georgians dont like sukhisvili"? are you out of your mind, or what? The majority admires Sukishvilebi because of their commitment to quality and originality. Only those obscurants, who are stuck in the past dislike them and their opinion as you may or may not know doesn't really matter.
Did I mention somewhere that keeping traditions means sticking in the past? Or, what makes you think that 'Sukishvilebi' aren’t keeping traditions? they're keeping the old and creating the new ones at the same time, which is absolutely normal - what's abnormal is an ultraconservative mob's uproar over innovations, that are considered as hazardous for the old traditions in their eyes.
@@lalie9019 listen to me.im from georgia and i know everything better than you about my country.not me you gonna stop talking shit.in youtube there is not any good georgian dance video uploaded but in georgia there is small gigs where georgians are dancing our traditional dance.you dont even know how real georgian dance is.in sukhishvili georgians are dancing georgian dance but combined to ballet so there is some georgian dance moves removed and thats why its looks worse than real georgian dance.real georgian dance is waaayyy better than sukishvili georgian dance combined to ballet.im learning georgian dance.i am adult i am 16 years old but my dance teacher wants more and more from me.so im practicing everyday in dancing.my dance teacher is learning me real traditional georgian dance and every part of my body hurts because of georgian dance needs more physical work than sukhishvili created "georgian ballet".i know ballet is hard too but in georgian dance there is harder moves than ballet moves.most of georgians dont like sukhishvili because of they are dancing little bit softly and most of georgian people likes old,traditional dance because its harder to dance but if you dance its more beautiful than sukishvilis "georgian ballet".
Knees: **exist**
Traditional Georgian Ballet: I'm a end this man's career
Tbh georgian dance is nothing like ballet (i say it out of experience. I did georgian dance for 8 years)
Ballet focuses more on flexibility (whcih i never had and had to give up on dreaming about it because of that) while geoegian dance focuses more on motionfluid
Ballet is performed mostly on toes (if im wrong pls correct me thanks) while georgian dance *does* involve it but does not focus on it as much as ballet so calling georgian dance "ballet" seems very wrong with me tbh

Korean : our k-pop the greatest dancing group ever...
Georgian : hold my belt...
@Wee Chatt I get that you're not a fan, and that's fine. However, the way you say it makes it sound arrogant and doesn't really make a reasonable point to me. The Kpop industry is competitive and difficult, and most musical artists work hard to achieve their place. Don't belittle their hard work. American Hip Hop & other genres has their own standing, and inspires some artists from the Kpop industry, but that doesn't make them any less original. It's bringing cultures together and helps spread the love for hip hop and other genres all over the world. Ever tried to think of it this way instead of just labeling a whole genre of music 'crap'? That 'crap' has helped the mentally ill, given hope and inspiration and you call this 'crap'? At least these kind of music don't constantly sing about sex and breakup, f*cks and sh*t. :) it's alright, not everybody has good taste and appreciation for some good music.

I'm georgian and I danced for 9 years and performed on stage for 4 years.Yes,man dance parts seem hard but female dances are harder than you can imagine.The posture,dancing on your tip toes to seem like you are floating and sliding on the floor,quick movements and hard moves and plus you have to be graceful and beautiful.I don't study dance and perform anymore,but I still dance and remember everything I was taught
Lady Braybrooke... Massive respect!! I saw the the men dance on their toes with a thin piece of leather - is that the same for the women when they dance on their toes? I always thought the women wore ballet slippers. Wow! This Texas girl is a huge fan!
Lady Braybrooke, Long live the Kartveli people!
@nimmivids it seems but is not. the man parts are constantly moving, but the woman parts are mostly on their toes which is worst for the body.
@nimmivids I feel like you don't know how muscles work, dude if you think only the toes are affected when you try to dance on your toes for hours.
@nimmivids dude, I'm a general doctor, believe me, the constant movement is better for the body overall for your body than staying in your toes for long periods of time. I'm not dismissing the men dances, not at all, but saying dancing on your toes is not as bad as strong and hard movements of your whole body is ridiculous and ignorant. Please stop.
ps: as you can see in the video, the men dance on their toes for short periods of time compared with the women. Bye.

almost an hour ... yeah right

Arthritis: really?

How I wish I could dance!
What arthritis do to limit you?
@@mint2hy793 if its RA like mine, your immune system attacks the fluid in your joints because it thinks its foreign, leaving your joints achy and swollen. It could also lead to weaker bones and bone erosion. I used to dance when I was younger, I'm only 23 now, but RA has definitely changed my life.
This is all I was thinking about while watching this. I really wish I didn't wait to be in my 30's before attempting dance.
I've never seen anything so terrifying and elegant in my life. I love it.
Georgia, I take off my hat to you. What a truly grand nation you are. Best regards from the Netherlands.
Thanks, you are welcome.
All the best from Georgia!
Such beautiful costumes and moves it's amazing seeing cultural dances and performances they put their heart into it,
Even I can see the pride in those dancers just by the performance,
Also these are very attractive performers there I especially love the curly haired mustaches lad
vvendingo ayy I did this and it is hard as balls. Trust me its not for the non athletic
vvendingo He is handsome heh
Original georgian dance is better im from georgia and this is not original georgian dance because its combined to ballet and there are some ballet movments
Excellent dancing skills but I can only imagine the pain they will endure when they're in their 50's.
30s
Or maybe with continuous practice until they're old without pushing it actually puts their body in a better shape
@@nicolefuccio that's not the norm
My guess is it depends on the moves. Retire early, go through rehab and keep practicing while avoiding perhaps the 20% of moves that are real killers and you’ll be athletic with out pain until the day you die. No accidents in longevity just applied knowledge and discipline
Exactly.
So beautiful. I actually somewhat prefer it to classical ballet. I like how masculine the guys' moves and how feminine the womens moves are here. A perfect balance.
We wouldn’t have such an effeminate view of dancing, ballet and choreography in the US if it was more akin to this.
Tbh there is a big difference between ballet and georgian dance so calling it classical ballet might confuse people so please refer to it as its given name "georgian dance" thank you
NOBODY comes close to the Georgians! They are the best dancers in all of Kavkaz. They are incredible
Sagisli that’s right.

Interestingly the founder of the American ballet is also Georgian, George Balanchine (Balanchivadze)
Don't think of these dances as Georgian version of ballet though, this is another type of dance. Better call it "Georgian traditional dance"

Actually Georgian dance takes its roots from Georgian martial arts and movements are series of Georgian martial arts techniques transformed into dance art
This pre-dates Georgian ethnicity. Actually all ethnicities. Before people go isolated on different parts of Caucasus, we all had one common culture and people. That's why this dance is called Caucasian dance .

Dude you dance on ice with blades at your feet. Figure skating IS hard
I used to figure skate, its hard but for a period of time i tried georgian dance cause its required in georgian school, for a girl like me i legit was in pain, i couldnt wait till i got back to normal walkig because we had to tip toe the whole routine, both are dangerous and difficult in different ways.
Lmao did georgian dance for 8 years now moving to figure skating (cuzz why not) i was not very impressed with the dance my friends group were working on
Of all the cultural dances I have seen in my wanderings around the world, the Georgian dancers are undoubtedly the most spectacular, and the most breathtaking. How they can fly high and land on their knees is scary and beautiful at the same time. I just hope they never stop dancing.
That speed and that precision scream agility level 💯
The first of several times I saw the Georgian State Dance Company was in the mid 1970's when they were on tour in Sydney, Australia. They are the most extraordinary dance company I have ever seen. Simply superb! They remain my favourite dance company! Bravo to these amazing elite dancer/athletes!
I have watched this show live in egypt 2019 at Cairo Opera House, absolutely the best show I have ever saw in my life ❤❤❤
My parents took me and my brother to see the Georgian State Dancers when I was a kid -- probably 65 years ago. It was without a doubt the most mesmerizing performance I have ever seen. There's no way that a video can convey the sense of raw energy that we experienced watching them live. They are incredible and incomparable.
In 1990 had the honour and privilege of seeing these dancers in action, in Tbilissi.

I saw them perform in Tbilisi in the 80's and was left breathless by the beauty of it. Amazing!
Really amazing and beautiful people and culture, respect from Albania🙏🏻💪🏻
All the best from Georgia!
The Caucasus region is filled with absolutely amazing culture
The Caucasian dances are very similar. Like for example the Lezinga dance. I am turkish with a Lazian (Georgian Mingreli) background and we have the Horon. It is noticeable that all these dances are danced very energetic and fast. A commonality that unites the Caucasian dances. I love it !
Horon isnt originally caucasian though because it only reaches Adjara and Guria in Georgia. It is said to be balcanic originally but thanks to the greek settlers it spread beyond. Now obviously it does have caucasian influences but still.
Salute to georgians from Armenia 👏🖒👌
Serli G thank you :)

Wow...just Wow!!
They seemed very dedicated and passionate towards their art.
I'm glad I saw this video... let the tradition of dancing continue with such fine dancers.
Imagine doing this, for a living. Dancing, I mean choreographed fighting while on pointe and doing knee spins.
Feels like a waste to have a such a good subject and be so short
Thanks for the recommendation youtube, now im binge-watching georgian dances and aching all over just from looking
this was the first time i lives yt recommendations! so proud my country's dancing is getting recommended
The most beautifull folk dance around the world love you
I have never seen such a dance before. It is just amazing!!!
Greetings from Germany
My body hurts just from watching... much respect..
"I'm happy because I'm dancing" hmmm brings you to my heart!
I saw them perform live at the International Tattoo in Norfolk. It's a military based festival, but many groups perform from all over the world every year. I hope they come back again. You just cannot beat seeing them live!
Crying in Paris because there is no dance school with georgian dance or same type dance. Georgian dance is from far my favourite dance.
I have been lucky to see the Sukhishvili group perform a couple of times in the past... a phenomenal performance each time! 👍 Having been a dancer myself, I can tell how much dedication and hard work goes into perfecting such movements and routines. 😅
And it’s fascinating to see the similarities in the movements of dances across Asia and Europe (right from Japan, China, Russia to Thailand, India, Indonesia to Turkey, Georgia, Greece, Bulgaria to Ireland, Spain etc) To a layman, it may not seem so but a little study and research will show how much the gestures and movements overlap between various cultures which I find absolutely fascinating ....Dance and music are such universal “languages”! So glad to see these amazing artistes bringing joy to the world! Bravo! ♥️
Toughest dance form i hv seen ever!!!! Salute to Georgia and the Sukhishvili dancers..👏👏👏
love my country ! God bless Georgians! მიყვარხართ !
all my love from your southern neighbors!!!

Honestly, the only reason why I want to learn how to dance like this is because of the ending. Imagine how amazed everyone would be if you bust that bad boy out during parties?
If there is an olympics for dancing, Georgia would be the frontrunner.
Melting Ice they should have dance. It’s a bit subjective though. Some of the stupid rules might take away it’s beauty on second thought 😁

I had watched this video in August of 2019, and yesterday I saw them for the first time live - thanks to this video I got to know one of the most interesting cultures I've ever encountered and I'm so grateful for that. If you think that their movements are impressive, try watching them live accompanied by a musical performance, outstanding experience!
