This sense of pride I get is astounding, I'm not even Russian. This sense of European culture is amazing.

[@hahalol6331]

Same. I believe europe is for europeans and we may claim each other’s culture!

[@VoluspaAstrid]

Most absolutely true and the reason of why I have this channel. Astrid .

[@YT-fr5lf]

European culture is something special 🪆💕

[@Brocklanders80085]

When did Russia become European?

[@VoluspaAstrid]

@@Brocklanders80085 More than 1000 years ago, since the state was founded by the Vikings. And a little later, around 1050's AD, Russian princesses became queens of France, Hungary, Norway etc. I would say that the court of the king of France became European only when Anna of Russia had first introduced bathing there, use of forks for eating and had began the tradition of the royal children being taught to read. To the point, that in memory and gratitude for such an undertaking, all French kings since 1050's to the last monarch before the French Revolution, were taking their coronation oath by placing their hand on the book written in the Russian language, brought by Anna of Russia with her to the French court almost 1000 years ago.

[@GothAlice]

Yup, remembering my semi-effective attempts to move by gliding long ago, my legs hurt watching this. Eliminating the dip as you walk… eliminating the natural semi-circular motion of pivoting on a fixed length rod, essentially… hurts after a surprisingly short amount of time. Lowering your center of gravity and never fully extending your legs, you throw evolved efficiency out the window.

[@PutitinDaramen]

@@GothAlice is that why the are all the same height?

I wore a kimono once and my calves were burning after walking 30 feet. I can't imagine what these ladies go through to do something so fluid.

[@НатальяТерехова-е7щ]

This is the famous swimming step; it is not just a swimming step, it is sliding on the ground like on water. This is how the image of a Russian beauty is created. The step is born in combination with the inner state of the artist. The secret of this step is not only in the legs. Like many classical choreographic elements, the floating step is based on the setting of the body, hands, on the fact that the artist knows: he is dancing!
