Danse du Jour

[shanmonster]

The Circus Festival of Monaco hosted this truly remarkable fusion of ballet and Chinese acrobatics. I've never seen arabesques like this before. I expect the strength, balance, and trust necessary to do this performance could only come after years of intense practice with each other.

Wow.

That was, quite possibly, one of the most amazingly beautiful things I've ever seen in my life.

And of course I spent too much time cursing the damn cameramen and their pointless close-up shots. Not to mention the pans of the audience.

Thank you so much for this one. I'm marking it as a favorite, even if it did make me cry at my desk a little.

This one made my eyes tear up a bit, too. It is just too beautiful.

Their movements were lovely. However, I spent half the time cursing the bland music and the awful editing.
