These steps are part of Georgian and Russian folk dancing, and no-one can do it quite like they can: Thanks so much for posting this, @Sim. I have never seen or heard of this style of dancing and am totally mesmerised by it! It is just amazing and so, so beautiful. I did wonder where the idea for the angels beautiful floating illusion had come from and now I know. Those dancers are just perfect! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayetana Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It must be SO tiring... and to keep so still from the torso up... with the particularly paced movements... would love to see moves with short skirts... thank you so much, Sim, for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I saw the Georgian State Dance Company live on a tour of the UK many years ago. The men were astounding too, in a different way to the astonishing floating women. Try YouTube. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Yes it does seem an awful long time since the Georgian State Dance Company ( not the Ballet Company who are coming this summer!) came to U.K. I think I saw them at The Festival Hall last time. They have amazing singers as well. Great final piccies of Nutcracker!! Edited January 14 by LinMM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
