Ballet dancer Sergei Polunin was born in Kherson, Ukraine in 1989. 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 attributed with helping bring ballet to the modern common man.

Sergei is a much sought after model and actor. Fashion designers love his breathtaking physique and brooding good looks. He has garnered 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'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!

Anti gravity pants. That's got to be it.

При всей своей невероятной технический одаренности Полунин огромный драматический Артист. Никогда не забуду, как он просто идет по сцене в "Жизели", прижав к груди цветы - и мороз по коже...

[marusyazzz]

Удивительная техника, удивительная грация и, вы представляете, он улыбается! Дай Бог ему счастливой жизни - он приносит радость своим творчеством!

Когда смотрю на полунина в танце весь мир хоть синим пламенем гори. Пируэты, прыжки, кабриоли, поддерки все в музыку, в такт и во образ. Полнейшая гармония, возвышающая и пробуждаюющая эстэтические чувства преображающие видение мира. Спасибо.

Sergei Polunin: observe

For the people saying the claps are annoying, this is how it is in russia. Clapping in russia is seen as a sign of respect and gratitude. Its not rude at all

[sofifi]

he just like literally is suspended for a moment it’s insane

[victordemarco]

It seriously looks like he is on a pulley or something. It's weird. He jumps and comes down as if he is floating like slow motion. That is incredible. Wow.

[zhuparzhunussova]

Полунин щедро одаренный гений танца и добра. Восхщена.

[Enoughalready]

What are people like him called? Oh, that’s right. A prodigy. He defies all logic and physics as well.

[LR-yumx]

Almost unbelievable! Breathtakingly beautiful!

[Dina-gqvb]

Damn, this guy is so graceful.

Pewdiepie wishes he could have such a quality 1080HD video.

He is the best ballet dancer I ever seen. So pity his tour was cancelled in my country due political reasons. His talent is a gem! Precious unique personality!
