    Default Footwork

    Devised in 1948 by Russian choreographer Nadezhda Nadezhdina, the “floating step” of the Beryozka Dance Ensemble seems to carry dancers smoothly across the stage, as though their feet have left the ground.

    “Not even all our dancers can do it,” Nadezhdina said. “You have to move in very small steps on very low half-toe with the body held in a certain corresponding position.”




    I find this dance mesmerising...

    I do like this type of dancing.
    I would love to see them do it in short dresses

    I appreciate the effort and skill involved with this spectacle, but why not use wheeled shoes?

    Roller skates have been around since the mid 18th century, according to wiki Also, there are those regular looking shoes with little wheels at the front and back, that kids roll in at malls. I have a decade’s experience cruising streets and highways on a rockered in-line setup, which allows turns on one/each skate (like hockey, as opposed to speed skating). For this dance, something low-profile, so as not to give away the skates, should be not difficult to design.

    But maybe like street magic, it wouldn’t be so impressive if it was real magic. ~8D

    Exactly, pretty much anyone would be able to do it on wheeled shoes.
