Viral Visual: Extreme En Pointe Dancing

Let us introduce you to Amelie Segarra, a ballerina that has taken en pointe dancing to a whole new level. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of a ballerina is posture, elegance and grace.

In this video, Amelie shows us the flip side of ballet, Black Swan-style.

Watch her perform in a dark theater with bulky butcher knives tied to her dainty ballet shoes. Her screams of frustration clash with the scraping – then stabbing – of the knives against the grand piano on which she dances, reflecting the excruciating pain and spotlight pressure of professional dance.

 

 

WE SAID THIS: Don’t try this at home!
