Please! Don't cheapen this by comparing it to break dancing....

[@marbanak]

@@brucemarsico6 Well, I suppose you mean well, to protect the reputation of the Russian Dancers. A little story might help explain my remark. I have a beloved niece, who took a deep interest in inner city culture, in particular the cultural features found in the Black Community of America. It was sincere, and I kind of liked it too. Pop 'n' Lock, and the athleticism of Break Dancing. It's kind of irresistible. When the Don Cossacks came to town, I begged her to let me take her to the theater. "These guys are the real deal," I insisted, "It's like they are original break dancers!" She reluctantly agreed to go, and she loved it. The power, precision, athleticism and artistry of that show swept her away. I think you will agree, it was a lesson she needed to experience. That's my reference point. Peace always.

Ансамбль песни и пляски.Конечно и танцы великолепные. Как много комм.на англ. и мало на русском. Неужели иностранцы в состоянии больше, чем мы оценить величие этого искусства? Попробую ответить сама. 1965 г. мне 9 лет, мало чего понимала, но в семье всегда восхищались творчеством ансамбля, особенно, мама. В 70х г. я постарше, муз.школа, кружок нар.танца и поддерживала маму и её интерес к красивым голосам и жен.и муж... Тогда уже замечательные концерты по тел-ру показывали, где принимал ансамбль участие. Я думаю, что мы все тогда воспринимали это как в порядке вещей, что по другому быть не может. А когда, после 91г.искусство Великое уничтожали, стало понятно в чём его Величие, которое необходимо беречь, хранить и продолжать и помнить. Сейчас расплачусь, что возраст делает с нами, извините... Спасибо за ссылку, обязательно посмотрю весь концерт.

​@@LHaritonovI need to learn how to do this. I'm from America. I tried to do the squat dance multiple times, but I kept on falling down.

[@lemagicbaguette1917]

⁠@@hannahduggan3599 I have a few tips. 1. You may be suffering from an arched back. Straighten it. 2. Don't look down at your feet. Look forward, or slightly upwards. 3. Hold your arms out to increase your moment. 4. If balance is an issue, brace against something to hold yourself up. 5. When kicking, aim your feet slightly upwards. Your body will try to hit the target, and you will kick straight out. As you get stronger, aim closer to level. This is not an official tip, but it's one that helps me.
