Lost in Motion

A young man loses himself in his environment so that his movements reveal the world that exists in his imagination, transcending reality through his muse of dance.

To all the people who think men cannot or shouldn't dance, I would like to see you be as strong as that. And no, I don't mean "muscular"; I mean strong. Strong and agile, graceful and flexible. All of that while creating pure lines and just being beautiful. Then we'll talk.

[@BrigidSamhain]

i used to dance. i understand his moves. he has reached earned his virtuosity after intensive soldiering on the technical. he would feel intensive sense of free fall freedom. i remember it. i don't dance anymore not like that. man or woman doesn't matter. it's lovely that men dance. a real man can dance like this.

[@wannaknowit291]

I am having goosebumps........PERFECTIONISM........he has a body of a statue....It is out of this world!

[@alexellison4440]

Hey I'm Alex. The boy who some people replied to when I said that I'm male, 13 and hoping to be as good as this man one day. This is my second ''year'' of dancing. When it is actually only my sixth month of dancing technically, and I'm loving it. Three classes of ballet a week accompanied with a class of Modern and Jazz. I've gotta keep this short but In January I'm trying out for the National ballet school of Canada. I wish to get in and excel as a dancer. I can't say everything I wanted.Ty.:)

[@ballerina722]

To clear things up, he's a principal dancer at the National Ballet of Canada. He's married to one of the female principal dancers at the company. They're both beautiful and elegant dancers. I've seen both perform live on stage several times and they dance with so much emotion and technicality. I love them both!

[@mariahlyn22]

One of the most graceful male dancers I've ever witnessed!

[@andreshadow2]

Magnifique! that guy is from Lac-à-la-Croix, Lac Saint-Jean, Québec. His name is Guillaume Côté. He is one of the greatest dancer in the world. Bravo

[@konfidentkwamain]

I love this . He brought honor to the dance world but not only dance world but for the men in the dance world. Dance will no longer be just dance it. Will be popular as the music videos and all.

[@ColorxConfused]

The control. The grace. The sheer strength of his dancing. All of this just makes for a beautiful moment in time. It's dancers like him who inspired me to start dancing.

[@NessaK94]

This is so beautiful. I love to see a masculine (and muscular) figure dance with strength AND elegance. His body is so limber, strong, and flexible, and every movement just flowed into the next. Well done to the dancer and the choreographer for the dance), and well done to the director of this piece for the effective camera angles and effects!

[@valeriyarocks3456]

He's so graceful, each move is flawless. Even his posture, stays perfect even during his jumps. Just beautiful.

[@VitaGonzalez]

He's perfect... His dance is perfection

[@oldgypsytap]

The human form at its most beautiful.

[@indigojester]

It's wonderful to be able to see the perfection of his movement in slow motion. This video is a great example of what the human body is capable of regardless of gender: grace, strength, beauty in movement, precision and freedom at the same time. Thank you for this video.

[@sonablom]

this man is an amazingly powerful athlete and a beautiful artist at the same time. How many people can say that about themselves? Just stunning.

[@Dncer4ver]

You can see EVERY SINGLE MUSCLE this amazing dancer has in every movement he makes. Even just standing in sous-sus... SIMPLY BREATHTAKING. Reminds me why I love to dance so much. I hope I can inspire someone, just like this video has.

[@Kickarsebiker]

Hats off for all the dancers who perfect their skills to make this look so effortless. The amount of dedication is amazing combining strength, flexibility, mobility, balance and co-ordination into such an art form.

[@EbonyMakeda]

OMG! Guillame Cote is the definition or beauty and perfection. I am yet to come across a male dancer that I love more than him. I LOVE HIM and this piece is brilliant! His lines are absolutely perfect!

[@santnaz1]

Each Human Being Is a Miracle .

[@shaiateful15]

he is so beautiful.

[@alexellison4440]

I saw him perform Giselle tonight! Just came back home, I got a backstage tour and I met him!!! He's my idol and my face just lit up the second I saw him. Absolutely amazing. They plan on giving me another backstage mini tour at the Nutcracker to show me costumes! :D :) So beautiful. :)

[@emburke207]

Also, he doesn't seem lost in his environment at all, but rather perfectly controlling it. His expression doesn't convey abandonment, happiness, but rather intense focus.

[@technologick1183]

And one of my old P.E. coaches feels that men shouldn't do ballet. What a close-minded prick. This definitely has caught my interest.

[@karolalpha]

i am not sure if he is a butterfly in all his beauty and elegance or an eagle in all his majesty and prowess....

[@CherryBomB1313]

This video has been an inspiration to my son and i. We watched it together soon after I discovered it and he said really excitedly, "I want to do that!!!". My son is almost 4, and I've enrolled him in dance. :D we're both very excited!

[@LikeToWatch77]

Thank you. I said exactly the same thing a while back. I also contended that at over 30 years old he is no longer a young man.

[@Anand.Harprem]

I really hope you raise enough to pay good studies. Tomorrow Ill finally start in the dance school Ive been looking fwd to get in for a few months. It took me a while to get the money. Im from Mexico and here, dance is getting more popular eveytime. I dream of dancing on stage one day son. Good luck man!

[@iagoqds91]

WTH He is amazing. His facial expressions are amazing, his movements are amazing.

[@Zanthxs]

That ending was so stunning ...with those sweeps in the air, i have no words to describe that magic when the human body is actually weightless from the exhilaration it is feeling ... and Yes, the beauty of it brings tears ...

[@teasesquezze]

Art in motion. Beautiful in any language.

[@gerardm2002]

I am in awe and humbled, as I am when I encounter such magnificent expressions of movement and emotion. The extensions, the strength, the lines, the power and most of all, the beauty! It is truly amazing what the human body can do.

[@alexellison3762]

Flawless is an understatement. 8D

[@pennystrickland918]

Wow! If I could move like him, I would dance...dance...dance. What a beautiful thing to watch!

[@samgilbert528]

I didn't even know a man could have that many muscles.. he is an incredible dancer. (:

[@Theloversx]

If I ever have even half of the strength and grace that this dancer has...I'll consider myself lucky.

[@starcrib]

Full beauty. A magnificent masculine line...utterly accomplished. ..perfection in motion. ..!

[@Superanimegirl111]

When it got to 1:47, my mind exploded! This man is a living work of art, and his dancing is beyond beautiful..... it's heavenly.

[@lorelea131]

Очень впечатляюще! А показать траектории движений в замедленной съёмке - вообще гениальная мысль!

[@anokir]

I love this. I love the mix of both fighting prowess and graceful fluidity. His movements blur the lines of conventional masculinity and femininity and create something so beautiful. The first slow down made something inside me flutter, it's just awesome!

[@danseur2]

Wow. Absolutely stunning. This is what dance is about

[@contemporarydancer15]

Am I the only one that just freaked out at how amazeballs this is? Like...are you serious!? The ending gave me EVERYTHING.

[@raptorchick21]

Stunning... love the slow motion, you can really see the perfection in hitting the "pose".. in each step.

[@samuelcruz8370]

I'm still speechless it's incredible.

[@00Mindi00]

Stunning. So beautiful, flowing, filled with air, breathtaking lines, gorgeous cinematography. Shows that a mans body too can be exquisite.

[@FINANCI]

And that's how a real man dances... Mr. Guillaume Cote...credited at the end of the video as Choreographer and Dancer.

[@gabrielaturcan5958]

[@DaBoof4]

[@minhquan5392]

speechlessly beautiful...

[@irisl.5680]

Love the symmetry in every little movement he does. That means passion and dediacation to what you love the most..

[@ApexDance]

[@diamondbackqueen]

This performance always brings me to tears especially, 1:59 or theres about, his expression is breathtaking .

[@ksmit135]

I think this is exactly what a male dance should be. Strength as well as grace. Beautiful.

[@VelvetHammer2000]

This is art. Pure and simple. It's a joy to watch someone who is so talented at what they do. Hat's off to whomever put this wonderful piece together.

[@Deafmusicwoman]

[@balancedfit]

Masterfully portrayed art, motion and music....i'm not a dancer by any means, but i appreciate dance as art, study it's motion and envelop myself in it's music...no wonder, a loved one dances....

[@kerihamilton9449]

[@NicoleWarnerMezzo]

I love the Album Leaf's music. Gorgeous, breathtaking.

[@KAMISAMA559]

If i could describe this it would be in one word... beautiful. With the passion and emotion that is performed by the human body, it somewhat makes you breathless.

[@iamgr80k]

Me too Erika. Such an inspired and brilliant production.

[@frondsandanemones]

Those TURNS! Stunning.

[@Rachole38]

I don’t understand how some people can’t appreciate dance; an art form that defies the average human’s capabilities.

[@HedgehogPhil]

I'm intrigued by his high level of perfection in what he does. I have to ask myself, do I do ( whatever that is ) to this level of passion and expertise?

[@mwitty100]

Sheer perfection. One of the most beautiful dances I have ever seen.

[@MrGiampom]

The Beauty, Art and Love make man (and women) fly high...

[@jerryballew37]

Best and toughest athletes on the planet -- dancers. I remember being in University "King and I" and they cast several of the football team. The bulky athletic footballers were wusses up against the dancers. Just didn't have the stamina nor the grace to freeze dance movement and hold the pose. Shook and staggered all over the stage. LMHO.

[@nedbella]

AMAZING. The super slow motion takes my breath away. When he did the side split jump thingie, it just blew my mind.

[@chuckcrouse]

grace and power.

[@justdance1278]

calling this video gay is ridiculous, let's see you so called men try to do what this man is able to do.

[@veronique9000]

On se laisse porter par la grâce infinie de ce danseur UN pur moment de poésie

[@r.hursijevic123]

Sjajno! Sjajno! Kakv trijumf "estetike" u svakom smislu. Suvremeni balet pokazuje svu svoju snagu i svježinu. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

[@angeliquedelorme8788]
