there were points in the video where i thought there was a reflection from a mirror because of the amazing synchronization. i feel like this is more than just a video documenting their exam, it's so artistic watching the colours float across the screen and the dancers' movements grace my eyes. thank you.

I wish I could study at the Bolshoi...they do such a variety of dance styles and then, of course, the ballet is absolutely beautiful.

Everytime I see dances like this or from the past, it makes me wish that people still danced like this.

This reminds me of the dance that was done for Romeo and Juliet.

BTW, what is the difference between historical dance and period dance? Are they the same?
