Amazing Pointe Technique & Acrobatic Strength

Ok. It's hard enough to do a single pirotte in point shoes. I still remember what it was like when I last attempted it (I believe I was 16). This video takes ballet to a whole new level. It starts off slow (lots of stretching and audience shots in French) but stick with it...about 5 minutes in, you'll notice that the dancer does a full pirouette in pointe shoes while balancing on her partner's shoulder, and then she executes a full backwards layout while in pointe ON HIS HEAD!!



It's totally amazing.
