Cirque Du Soleil - Alegria - Contortion

[TaiYangDN]

her name is Ulziibayar, not Ulziibar -.-

[Gymbottc]

Oh I like this -- it is a blessing these girls will bring paradise to these studs.

[TaiYangDN]

@Gymbottc contortionists genetic is amazing! also who is not naturally flexible, developing the flexibility can bring us many answers or even more questions about mysteries of the human body!

[ThePearlyLubdubFish1]

....that little girl just sat on her own head.....

[attiw28]

I think the boy at 2:18 is in love with the contortionist ... :DDD

[attiw28]

[dacutegirl1]

[taue182]

If you not like this, you are a PUTO

[admnmove]

Her strength and balance are truly awe-inspiring...Amongst the best exhibits of contortionism I've even had the pleasure of witnessing...

[thomash0905]

Are there any male contortionists in cirque du soleil?

[lostdeviltwin]

Who could ever dislike this!?

[Kakarota14790]

@Sharkie2004 Pikhienko is performing at the cirque du soleil. She was the lead lady on Varekai, and now she is performing on the Quidam tour. She's best known for her hand balancing and contortion with canes act. I was just comparing the contortion abilities.

[renatomeotti]

Love the soundtrack!

[twilightdarcey]

wow this is amazing !

[Kusenin]

This person actually seems to be very relaxed and enjoys what they do.

[animecatgirlroxs]

I think this is so beautiful! But as beautiful as i think and other people think it is contortionists will have horrible bone problems when their older :( But i do enjoy this very much! Bravo!

[RCdude1616]

4:56 it looks like a baby carrige!

[cefanine]

A body is an art.

[sh9683]

ive seen alegria live many years ago, ive also seen quidam (not live) and maybe a few others! cirque du soleil is awesome, i really like it! the best part is it originated in Canada :)

[jhfcf]

I saw this show in Orlando several years ago and I have it on video. It's something that everyone should experience!!! I love this girl!!!!

[RosettaTink4EVA]

wow its like shes made out of rubber! :O

btw, luvin the feathery cape! :)

[chocolatefan1711]

really beautiful but the girls from Kooza are better!!!!

[meranu]

i am 12 and i am really UNflexible so i want to get into it but i just am not ggod at those things. i wish i was. i wish my parents would have disciplined me from the very beginning so i could be in that show! but my mom thinks its nasty. i think its beautiful........ i mean....how can u think its not pretty? the gracefullness of it all is so mystic and unreal. its realy beautiful. SHE SURE KICKS ASS!!!!!!

[kaelinjohns]

You can start NOW! don't worry about what your mom thinks, If you love it then go ahead i think it's beautiful too and very cool, i can do most of this stuff i stated when i was 12...You can start now just take it slow and don't force yoruself too hard! do alot of cobras

[kaelinjohns]

and bridges and try strecth your self forward so that you can make your palms touch the ground.

Contortion is actually good for you, it has some many benifits to your body.

Hope it helped. Im a backbender frontbender and twister!

[Cass0emoheart]

@meranu You're only 12? Well then you have lots of time to learn :). Never mind your parents, do the things you want to do on your own without relying on them. And I completely agree- this performance was beautiful.

[kyaraa96]

Hermozo *w* me encanta ella encuentro qe a sido una de las mejores qe a pisado ese escenario de verdad :D ! y algun dia yo llegare a pisarlo loo Loooo loooo !!

[southpacificredhead]

This is my inspiration, i just started contortion as a hobby last month and am already close to a full chest-stand!

[aho12345666]

How old are you? I want to get into it too but idk if im too old...cause this probably takes a ton of practice & time!

[southpacificredhead]

I am 15, but i have heard that you can start contortion any time, it will just take you longer if you are not naturally flexible or if you are older.

[aho12345666]

Oh...i'm 18. Are you naturally flexible?

[southpacificredhead]

i have been doing yoga as a hobby for about three years so that has made me really flexible, yoga came really easy too so i am not sure if i am naturally flexible or if i am good at it because i enjoy doing it so much. i started contortion because i got bored with yoga not being a hard enough stretch.

[GirlzRule412]

amazing

[annapinksecret]

iknow the guy in the red suit thing....

[kaelinjohns]

omg i love ulziibayer i have her on facebook its such a beutiful act, i am trainging contortion myself ad had done something at 1:35 before

[MimiPants4]

BEYOND artistic. I only wish I could have seen her live before she went to Zumanity. She's my favorite contortionist!

[thelosthikers]

Zumanity? does alegria still have that act?

[MimiPants4]

Zumanity is an 18+ show in Las Vegas. She performs something called the Water Bowl there. Yes, Alegria still has this act. It is very lovely and is still wonderful to see live (I've been fortunate enough to) and has 2 girls in it now. Baansuren Enkhbaatar and Ganchimeg Tumurbataar.

[Redspring94]

exactly. I see that you are very informed about Cirque's act and performers ;)

[MimiPants4]

Yes :) I'm a huge Cirque fan. I'm going to see Ovo and Banana Shpeel next year. I just saw Alegria earlier this month. I love it!

[Redspring94]

welcome to the club ;))

Really? lucky you! you live in the USA and with a bit of luck you can see their show live.....I live in Italy and Cirque's show don't come here so much :(

in every case, when will see them, had a good time also for me!! ;)

[MimiPants4]

Yes I'm in New York so Cirque shows are always passing through here. I saw Kooza also and Wintuk. The two shows I REALLY want to see are Quidam and Varekai.

[Redspring94]

uh-uh. instead the shows that i MUST see are Saltimbanco, KA, "O", Mystere and Corteo. They're my favourites and i love them! ^^ but also Quidam and Varekai are very good...did you see the Cirque's special performance at the white night in Lecce last 8 december?

[thelosthikers]

yes, i think before alegria also had two contortionists, i watched the video. But to my opinion i think one is the best!! Ulziibayar!! :D

[Marci8861]

i saw this show about 15 yrs. ago. 9/26/09 finally seeing it w/ my husband!

[Crossk8r]

lol 4:33. guy looks like the clown from my 7th birthday party lmfao

[Crossk8r]

[LAZYTARD]

This is amazing. So, pretty.

[Anochecer8]

sensual body

[LovableBabyB]

i always cringe when she does all these things...but cant keep my eyes off of her lol

[rtqtehrsex]

i hv seen this vid MANY times.... juz soooooo great

[decapatater9889]

Wow not only is she flexible, but she is really good at balancing that's amazing.

[liongirl15007]

@decapatater9889 Its called handbalancing

[IhniWinterwind]

That is amazing. Really. I can't believe a person can bend like that.

[Ignauhak]

I can. I'm doing it. All it requires is conditioning of the human anatomy for extremes of bending, & if one didn't start young, lots of patience.

4 yrs training from age 16 & I can comfortably stand on my own shoulders

:-)

[thelosthikers]

did you have a trainer??

[Ignauhak]

Well, I had a training SPACE, & fellow students who were more advanced than me giving me tips, but mostly I had to teach/train myself :-)

[Redspring94]

hey, can you give me some tips for training?

[Ignauhak]

Learning it yourself, eh?

Try these:

Get a heated, soft-floored area. (Lucky contortionists don't need much space)

Whichever way you do bend, bend that way from standing position as far as you can WITH STRAIGHT LEGS, & bend the other way just as many times to keep your back from getting stuck.

Each bend should be done while breathing out,

with each inhale being when you come back up again. Give it 3 months, & record your results as you go. If it works, KEEP IT UP :-)

[kaelinjohns]

what kind of cotnortionist do you want to be? Backbender or frontbender im both

[thelosthikers]

arent contortionists suppose to be both?

[kaelinjohns]

wel you could, if you are born that way, but its pretty difficult to be both because if you are a backbend all your muscles in the front of you are stretched and your back its bent so its abit hard, Do you mean all in one act??

[Ignauhak]

As a backbender myself, I find I need to do at least a bit of forward bending to cancel out the extreme stretches I give my back when I arch.

The way my body is built, it only curves forward at the top part of the spine, leaving everything below sternum level straight, but that doesn't stop me from giving my hamstrings a good stretch, until I kiss my knees. So from the hips at least, it's possible to be both. For me anyway...

[moonathehedgehog]

she almost broughl me to tears

[colombianrules14]

alguien podria darme el messengear de ella.....

o su numero celular?

[LexiyLollitah]

perfect perfect perfect and very cute :3
