Huge ballet jumps like the Rivoltade

Looking for huge ballet jumps? The Rivoltade at 1'11, Sergei Polunin's signature leap.
Ballet: “Le Corsaire”
Composer: Adolphe Adam
Choreographer: Joseph Mazilier
Featured Ballet Jump: Rivoltade 540 or 540 Rivoltade
Born in Kherson, Ukraine in 1989, *Sergei Polunin* / Сергей Полунин is a Russian ballet dancer. Famous for his “once every hundred years” talent, he has incredulous elevation and impeccable technique. From an early age, he displayed glorious dramatic range. Home videos of him as a small boy improvising to Pavarotti are very foretelling. At age 19, he became the youngest ever male principal dancer with London's Royal Ballet company.
Ballet gained an unprecedented new awareness when he danced in Hozier’s viral video ”Take Me To Church.” People who would never have paid any attention to ballet began to watch the tattooed phenom. He is generally attributed with bringing ballet to the modern common man. Classical, yet cutting edge, Sergei starred in Diesel’s “Make Love Not Walls” campaign and has put his mark on many other promotions.
Sergei is a much sought after model and actor. Fashion designers love his breathtaking physique and brooding good looks. He has garnered only positive reviews for his acting. His appearances include Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of the Orient Express, the biographical documentary Dancer, The White Crow, and Red Sparrow.

Let's not forget the ridiculous amount of focus , strength and fitness it takes to do that .A true artist , brilliant technique and an incredible athlete.

I could not agree with you more!!!! Some dancers have certain gifts needed to dance superbly... Sergei has ALL of them.

[@markymark3340]

@@PamBoehmeSimon I may be bold in saying this but i think Ivan Vasiliev may ever so slightly have the edge on Sergio by the slimmest margin., his version of Corsaire is out for this world .

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

@@markymark3340 Vasiliev's is stunning to say the least. I completely respect your opinion and agree that they run neck and neck until it comes to "line" and emotion" where Sergei takes the win. Sergei has a body to make the Vitruvian Man jealous, knows just how to present it in terms of ballet perfection, and the "feels" to take you right along with him lol. Thanks for the watch and the comment. Hope you'll continue to be so bold!!

Not to mention incredibly acrobatic. That looks TOUGH

[@margaretlavender9647]

‘Ridiculous’ is totally the wrong word. You mean ‘incredible’.

[@jessahartley4714]

I'm a ballet dancer with a very small local school/ballet company in my area, so I am nowhere NEAR this level of achievement, but I personally don't really mind the audience clapping. Fouettes/a la second turns are kind of my signature "trick" and when I do them on stage and the audience starts applauding, it gets me excited and pushes me to keep going. It's like, "Thank God, someone actually recognizes how hard this is!" Just from his facial expressions, I think he probably feels similarly. Sometimes it just feels awesome to do something really challenging and have your audience go crazy. Clapping aside, HE IS FANTASTIC!
