[Muditex]

[ZarellaDiAlmendra]

Baile culiao raro

[drahazt]

Que se supone que estoy viendo?

[pralfernandes]

A música pode não agradar a todos, mas a leveza e coordenação da coreografia é genial!

[Lu3Zak]

My God... the thermometer to measure this music, was melted by its beauty....

[captainpanic08]

The famine was so bad in the USSR that these women sawed off their own legs for food and replaced them with wheels.

[net60man]

Härligt.

[DaffyRaccoon]

Great Russian ensemble Berezka (means birch). This is a song in Russian about the girls who weaving yarn on the golden spinning wheel and they like it)

[ANATOLIYSAND]

Большое спасибо!!!

[NatiiDragon3]

Are these people actually humans...?

[MoroccoCasbah]

JUST saw the date: early Kruschev/ post Malenkov .... (remember him? He was there for a nano-second .....)

[MoroccoCasbah]

It IS old - prob. late Stalin/ early Kruschev. Beriozka (name of the group - it means birch tree) was Ukrainian, BUT all the Soviet "national" ensembles used that Georgian (& Azerbaijan & Kars, Turkey) women's step, so the movement they are doing IS Georgian, but those dancers are Ukrainian (Chernobyl is in the Ukraine. Kiev is the capital...)

[iBrez45]

they are all on segways

[Sipper0]

Imagine watching this while you were high... WHOA.

[rpc337]

what year was this performed, it looks sorta old.

[rpc337]

can someone explain how did they do that?

[pretendofficer]

I wanted one of them to fall over so badly... i'm now eternally unhappy :(

[pretendofficer]

What the hell is going on? What am I watching!? Help me.

[austinmichaelcraig]

I think they have segways under their skirts.

[tsfreh]

all kinds of awesome

[nealkemp]

Have their feet been replaced by early prototype segways?

[bluecomet666]

@nealkemp ahahaha your comment killed me for 30 min :))

[Cipher184]

How do those magnets work?!

[johnjoroland]

Better then the June Taylor Dancers

[myke7777]

I must be on drunks.

[Skylep]

Very cool........I think I'm going to lay down for a bit.

[vonFulda1987]

Watch that video when you're drunk/high - it gets better!

[FreezeCA]

Ukrainian's Best Dance Crew

[LubomirSokol]

@FreezeCA Little correct - Russian's, not Ukrainian's. Anyway, exSoviet's.

[mabArch2000]

ARE THEY FLYING ?

[lusevenucky]

@ 1:34 spell has been broken



[esotericist]

are they oh rollerskates?

[xj1ggy]

That was some amazing communism.

[genenco1]

I still like Riverdance better.

[jeffchilton]

It's sort of creepy the way the dresses don't move; like they're half-woman, half-Dalek.

[mrsnupcup]

...fuck  your CRASS...just enjoy the... beauty...

[hellomaxmin]

242 likes and no dislike. These girls are up to something!

[mooglely]

They have such fluid movement! They almost look like a machine!

[HooksHauntedHollow]

They obviously hail from the Loupan School of Dance

[ashlarmedia]

@HooksHauntedHollow

[katerpil]

I think I get it.

[chalkley3]

OH GOOD LORD I AM TOO HIGH TO DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW

[musicgourmand]

GREAT RUSSIAN CULTURE

[TheJimbolicious]

I LOVE EARTH

[faithholland]

are they on skates? they glide around like they're hovering over the floor

[suraxis]

Sounds Ukrainian. 

[HeatSroken777]

OBEY



[53rdAndThird]

Just think, all these lovely ladies are either elderly now, or dead!

[InfraRedNeck]

This is a proud celebration of Caucasian culture; something the world doesn't appreciate anymore. That will soon change. Yes, it will. Soon. 

[etierik]

@InfraRedNeck Looks ethnically Russian to me rather than Caucasian, or am I wrong?

[nataliaspivak]

@etierik you are right :)

[FluffyVanWinkle]

@2:43 Matt Damon

[PecherskiyDenis]

натурально как будто на колесиках

[hellomaxmin]

Excellent

[qanatuka]

140% great!

[JanSchattling]

Totally creepy.

The movement is kinda unnatural.

[kokernutz]

Am I high?

[BoomerNick]

@kokernutz Yes I am.

[BoomerNick]

@kokernutz Atleast I must be.

[Zencyde]

@kokernutz I know I am.

[yeasty123]

It would be better if they were dressed like Daleks.

[wildbell]

Mesmerizing. But all I can translate from the title is the first word: Ensemble. Posting a video like this without description or context makes me grumpy.

[toresbe]

@wildbell Pralicza means "spinning jenny", and from what google told me, beryoshka is a dance troupe or something.

[wildbell]

@toresbe Thanks for the additional info!

[LazyLoneLion]

@wildbell It seems like episode from a movie.

In this episode an ensemble (you're right!) sings yarning and spinning threads.

"We are yarning and thread is pulled (stretched)

we like our job" -- it could be translated like that for example, but it has even more meanings.

[wildbell]

@LazyLoneLion Thank you!

[youngchilde]

@wildbell

Folk dance ensemble "Birch". From "Maiden's Spring" movie.

[wildbell]

@youngchilde Thanks!

[cehzasmeh]

@wildbell yes, grumpy is a description of you ... another one that thinks when something is not written in his language, then is not written ... #posch english idiot

[wildbell]

@cehzasmeh LOL! I congratulate you on thoroughly misinterpreting and rudely over-reacting at my initial comment. My disappointment wasn't with the language. but with the lack of information in any language accompanying the beautiful piece.

[katzunjammer]

@wildbell its from a 1960s soviet film called ' spring maiden' - Девичья весна (1960)

[wildbell]

@katzunjammer Thank you very much!

[zwortnik]

Wheels within wheels... within dresses.

[AlexH84]

Here's what I don't get. In the first phase of the song, there's a row of candles in front of the dancers. Where do they go?

[gibsos00]

Rather lovely.

[dioramaca]
