Dancers: Sergei Polunin and Kristina Shapran
Music by Gavin Luke: Haze

Sergei Polunin is a Ukrainian-born 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 tiny boy improvising to Pavarotti are very foretelling. At age 19, he became the Royal Ballet's youngest ever male principal dancer.
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.

these vivid facial expressions and smiles on his face, so beautiful, like the flowers blooming in the spring

[@celestestaniforth495]

A wonderful insight into all the hard work and rehearsals that go into a performance, and produce a stunning result, 😊

[@richardcleveland8549]

Stunning . . . amazing . . . incredible . . . brilliant! One of the supreme talents in ballet.

[@vintilabogdan8515]

No matter how angry, sad or dissapointed you are, when you SEE this , you have no Words to describe it! Thx Pam!

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

What a lovely, lovely comment. Thank you Vintilă!! You are so right.

[@waltheravanderwagt1153]

[@DavidLeBlanc]

I said this before, but the air underneath his jumps is amazing.

[@luckarafaelova5564]

Sergei is best dancer of all the times!!!!! With love from Prague Lu ♥️🌟💐💎🌍

[@galinamelnikova9855]

Ох,уж эти высоченные прыжки! А какой обаятельный красавец!

[@cotatigirl8590]

I really love the videos that show Sergei in rehearsal and backstage. His movement onstage is so fluid, elegant and mesmerizing that I for one tend to take for granted the hours and hours AND HOURS of work and pain each jump has required to bring it to such perfection. Consider the Herculean effort required to fling your body high up in the air, execute some fancy step while appearing to float, and descend back to Earth, landing with a soft plié precisely in fifth position. Truly poetry in motion. His partnering is exquisitely elegant and courtly, always taking gentle but solid care of his ballerina. Thank you for posting this, and of course merci mille fois, dear Sergei.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

precisely!! you hit the nail on the head. ballet dancers are told over and over and over if the audience can see the effort onstage, y ou need to work harder in class lol

[@cotatigirl8590]

@@PamBoehmeSimon Hi, Pam. I was just wondering if you had any news about Sergei’s little family. I thought I had seen something about a 3rd baby. None of my business, of course, but I am just hoping that Sergei and Elena stay together and give their kiddos the solid foundation in life that Sergei never had.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

@@cotatigirl8590 Sergei and Elena and their little family are safe and currently expecting their 3rd baby boy. It does seem as though Sergei is very much enjoying the stability he has so longed for.

[@Pie-ve7jv]

So much gratitude, for sharing this and the artistic genius of Sergei Polunin! Bravo!

[@sharonsmithers3711]

It is so beautiful and emotional what great dancers they are thanks Pam

You are welcome Sharon, and thank YOU.

[@user-mp1hv2ng4z]

C'est la musique que j'ai retenue, ici ! Brume lui convient parfaitement comme titre : extrêmement mélodieux, doux et apaisant ! Merci à vous pour ce partage qui me séduit ô combien : )))

[@elpisliossatos]

Sergei was and still is an inspiration to thousands around the world. Such brilliance cannot be contained within a ballet company.Such an artistic soul cannot be restricted to instruction. As we write he is dancing and thrilling his audiences in far flung theatre halls with his dynamic presence,impeccable technique,and emotional expression. How lucky are those who can see this dancer on stage. Thank you for this video!

[@svefoto]

If he could only keep his mouth shut and his love for Putin, the murderer, not tattooed to his chest. Some respect for women would not hurt either. It is that case when the talent is a burden to the empty headed jumper.

[@larisa455]

Well there’s somebody who definitely didn’t skip leg day. Huge Sergei fan!

Right???! Same here (huge Sergei fan), and thanks for writing! Glad you enjoyed.

[@user-ml4xp2mw8j]

Какие же они милые! Прекрасное видео!

[@adrianaradu3128]

Beautiful, Amazing, Thank you,dear Pam!!!

[@carolapizarro6083]

Actually, I was moved by the video, Pam, I even took a couple of tears while watching. It is beautiful for me to see all that work, that display of body and soul that is necessary for that fire to occur on stage, I consider it so valuable, that if they gave me a legir, I would prefer to see them in all the trials , although I was deprived of seeing them afterwards on stage. The rehearsals are the alchemical laboratory for me. Congratulations Pam, may God bless you for all your wonderful work

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

carola pizarro Part of the magic of ballet is to give the illusion that it’s easy. I myself love this look into the inner workings of how it gets that way. I am touched that you were moved so. Thank you Carola.

[@Jabo__Jabo]

I agree. Rarely can an outsider see artistic genius behind the scenes.

[@sherrelhauhe7791]

So nice to see all the background scenes and work that go into a performance ...thank you. ..so beautiful !!!

[@user-dd1dg7cc8o]

Как же приятно, ещё раз, на юного Сергея посмотреть. Это же он как раз после Лондона? Мне вообще эти "репетиционные" ролики, больше всего нравятся

Когда мне плохо, он мне необходим. Я должна на него смотреть. Это наркотическая зависимость с которой невозможно бороться. Мне стыдно и необъяснимо.

[@larisa455]

Мне тоже. Но мне не стыдно. Мне таинственно.

[@suzannederringer1607]

God, how young he was! And that was only 9 years ago.

[@user-qk1lo2di6k]

Ой здорово

[@carmen9330]

This is so lovely to see, they look so young, and Kristina is such a beauty ✨✨

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

In addition to her gorgeous ballet physique... her skin is flawless. Oh my gosh, she's like a porcelain doll!

[@carmen9330]

Pam Boehme Simon totally agree !

[@igorisvolkovickas4993]

Душа....

[@olgaerusalymska8998]

💚💜

[@celestestaniforth495]

So wonderful to see and experience rehearsals. It's an important process and the backbone of performance, 😊

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

i agree! I was so excited to be able to show just what goes into the final presentation. Nothing just happens... each step, each split second is rehearsed and rehearsed until muscle memory begins to play a part. Only then is the mind and heart free to add the emotional nuances that transform a piece from something pretty to look at into a full blown experience.

[@nataliak3005]

Кристина прекрасна. Сергей не уходите с классики. Не теряйте себя

[@valentinagosteva5058]

Уже ушёл. Возраст, наверное...

[@waltheravanderwagt1153]

Looking time to time and it so good to see both and her smile and hands beautifull

[@MB-yc9ei]

Kristina is Sergei's favorite ballet partner; they pair beautifully for either classical or contemporary piece. 😍💚💙💜 👏🏻👏🏻 Her frail/delicate lines work well with Sergei's soft/artistic body flow. Can they ever dance together again? I missed his gorgeous torso, less covered by tatoo assault; now only from his archive like here!

[@sabalight6470]

Yes, and it must be so exhausting to take time almost every time to cover it all... (hands, shulders, torso, stomach ... ). Strange thing to do it in such a classical job. I love bodies without tattoos more as well.

[@susiea3097]

Beautiful x 2 💙💗

🌜I am quite nocturnal lol.

[@tweeterbird]

Ещё молоденький 😘

[@coachrv30]

An absolutely beautiful person and outstanding ballet artist. Just curious what prompted or led him into getting a number of tattoos. Was this as a means of providing or enhancing his art expression or to satisfy a personal desire? He is such a physically beautiful person without them. This is not a criticism, just something that would be interesting to learn.

[@coachrv30]

They are such ideal dynamic partners, both in performance and beauty.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

I understand your questions completely. This tells a lot of what went into his mindset at the time of the inkings... www.cnn.com/style/article/sergei-polunin-ballet-dancer-film/index.html

Thank you for the video, Pam. Sorry for asking, what year was this taken ? Sergei looks quite young.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

You are quite welcome, glad you like my video! And no worries for asking... this was in 2012. He had recently left the Royal Ballet and was in Russia trying to make a name for himself. Needless to say, he did! He won the entire competition.

Sigh, why are the beautifully talented sometimes so crazy?

Кажется, что они могли бы быть хорошей парой тогда. Не сравнивая с тем, как у него сложилась судьба дальше.

[@agamfauzihasan1353]

Excuse me and pardon. From development of mind and time of lonelines, I think, I was in consortium of Sergei Polunin with seems my friend , Novrizal who ever worked in Century Park Athlete Hotel, Jakarta. Hoping can checking of documents those linked ; bilyets of ballet payment, mortgage deeds in MIR ( Museum of Indonesia Record ), Semarang, Center Java ; NL ( National Library ) of RI, Center Jakarta. A sign from the ears with a bulge on the lower leaves .

[@ludmilakuznetsova8001]

Продолжаю смотреть на Серёжу и наслаждаться его талантом. Пусть танцует и не открывает рот.

[@ninanijnik7586]

А, что он сказал такого неправильного?! Пусть хоть кто-нибудь этих "толерантных" растресёт немного!!! Полунин-бесстрашен и крут!

Плесень решила закрыть рот гению ахаха)))

[@user-dd1dg7cc8o]

Интервью с Сергеем это отдельное удовольствие. Абсолютно не согласна с Вами

[@user-mz1sx7rl4m]

Именно в своих искренних интервью раскрылся Сергей как личность,глубина и нестандартность мышления которого удивительно дополняет его невероятный талант... И даже не всегда ровная постановка фраз придает ему необ,яснимый шарм и притягательность...😊
