Angelica Bongiovonni - Beautiful Cyr Wheel Dance 

That's why it's really a pleasure when someone invites you to their presentation because that means you're important enough to see all the weeks, months and years of practice y one piece, all the result which is something really beautiful and sad sometimes because people don't always understand and they look it like something bored :c.

Gabriela Oria don’t blame the audience. If you worked really hard on something and no one cares then you just wasted your time. If I spend 4000 hours learning to perform a puppet version of the movie “Dirty Dancing” no one is obligated to watch or care no matter how incredibly difficult it might be. This woman though clearly didn’t waste her time. This kind of thing isn’t going to please everyone but some people clearly love it.

I would watch an all puppet version of Dirty Dancing. Holy shit that would be amazing! Plus, I think you can appreciate the time and effort someone put into something even if it's not your kind of thing, especially if it's someone you care about (presumably you do if they care about you enough to invite you to their performance). I absolutely hate some forms of modern dance but I can still applaud and praise the effort they put in even if the result isn't something I personally enjoy.

Yes, but if the audience is in the millions, it is worth it.

Of a million people. Million x 0.05 hour (assuming average 3 minute watch time) = 50,000 hour watch time, on this performance alone. Not bad considering she'd have inputed about 10,000 hours.

i love the beginning where she's trying to get the height on her own and gets frustrated. Then the wheel comes along. Who needs a man? It has all the femininity without the dependence. It's breathtaking.

Wheelie?!?.....not having a man around wouldn't throw a wrench in the gears of humanity & upset the balance of the wheels of perpetual motion? 👭🤪💥

Circles just wanna have fun.

Something to do with a third wheel.

@pokerboss108 Why do you assume it was a man?

Uh you might wanna patent that

How would she see what see was doing?

@@rvz77 lights, the ring wouldn't be invisible, just transparent, like a clear cover of phones I guess

@@emme3317 yes but if shes spinning and spinning in circles, things get a little dizzy for her. I know I'd be dizzy. Idk how she does it

@@rvz77 She is already spinning and spinning in circles here, without getting dizzy. Dont think she gonna have an issue given how experienced she is.

The music

Probably 500 overweight *haters* with the agility of a brick

@@axel4196 Here I am, yet I liked it...

They're idiots that's why!

They voted in Britain’s Got Talent.

atma jyoti that's a bit deep,

Never ... appreciate the comment. Helps to remember that there is some depth through the forage of superficiality. Thanks

HERE COMES THE SOPPY STUFF!

atma jyoti I swear you said cancer 😂, nope you said dancer.

atma jyoti tool and artist gracifully cooperate

😂😂😂😂😂😂

haha

Hhahaaaaaaa

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Same 🤣

Bro same

Saaaaame! I felt mesmerizing! A hoop is a cool instrument to play with ⭕️

As my husband says..”everything is physics.”

Would love a detailed explanation of it

Gorgeous

I couldn't help wondering if actually controlled that wheel so perfectly or if some of this wasn't just reacting to it. I suspect it does pretty much what she asks of it ;)

The mathematics and physics are in the principle of cyr wheel and any performances - or just having a bash at it - this moment and her interpretation of the art/science is unique. .

Her abdomen and legs are also very nice.

Hammer throwers and discus throwers , I bet she could be very good , speed, power, grace hurrah for mesomorphs !

HOH Yeah, I was reminded of figure skating, gymnastics, and diving.

andywillhite has or she just goes to the gym a lot 😂

So is her chest.

Galaxis 2:52 the craziest part to me

She certainly did.

I felt the same...

Galaxis exactly what I though ^^ ***

3:18

Loved your description!

Words perfect. Expressed from perfection yet how does one express perfection from an expression of pure yet perfect word expression. You danced with her. I felt a connection and my heart cried. She's utterly beautiful.

Couldn't have said it better myself :)

Sort of like your words....

angelica bongiovanni is russian american married to italian guy

Stoooolen!

Totally stolen comment

Yes indeed! Gorgeous.

A theory : every time you put a ring on the table and it does that little twirling before it sits still, a fairy was just dancing with it.

Miaki Anko what the fuck

You could need to go to tour doctor.

Beautiful storyline

I enjoyed that interpretation

That was almost as beautiful as the dance. Thank you beautiful soul. 💚💙💜🧡💛

lol idk : fun fact, squished fingers are not that bad. The falling face first is worse.

😂

@@platijunior6597 ooooooofffff that hurts

Now that you mention it, yea!

You only do it ONCE....

Underrated comment :D

HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm CACKLING

💀

@@The_holly_and_the_holy definitely

Seems like you aren't like those other girls, huh?

That would be an "Ozzy man review".

​@@astridorrberg7753 - I do like your comment... but also there are a lot of insufferable comments of the sort the OP is talking about, so I sympathise, but, that doesn't excuse invoking this format, and it does also double up as a "I'm a unique snowflake / am I the only one?" statement. So, the OP can go directly to god damn jail.

Lol this is me I just want some genuine comments worded simply for my dumbass

Deli Spice Vlogs without crushing fingers and toes

So much talent in the world! I am a dance instructor and I just LOVED this video! God bless, Lynne

Ik. It's so elegant. It's something so beautiful about that too. 😍😍

💕💕💕Your comment.

Flow... so beautiful

Really? I didn’t find it graceful and almost clicked out of the video. I’m glad I didn’t. The second part is jaw dropping.

Years of practice makes it look like gift

She must’ve worked so hard! Such a beautiful performance

Yes 🤗

YESH

angelica bongiovanni is russian american married to italian guy

L 'homme de Vitruve

Exactly what I saw!!!

NoneIsAllMinusSome yes, Yes, YES

Vitruvian woman

I didn't notice that until I read your comment. I watched it again after that with new eyes. I couldn't believe that I could see it as more beautiful than the first viewing, but I got schooled! Thank you for helping open my eyes to the true craftsmanship of this performance. Amazing!

I saw that right away. I knew she couldn’t keep her fingers wrapped around the hoop if she went upside-down, so when she tipped over, I noticed her hands were open. Amazing strength, agility and coördination, altogether beautiful to watch.

I can't imagine how many times she must have smashed her fingers in her life while she was practicing. That's the price for such a beautiful dance.

Kahldria Leighsun Yeah, Cyr wheels seem like they’d be so difficult to learn how to use, like broken fingers and toes waiting to happen. So freaking impressive to see one used so gracefully.

Thanks for this illuminating comment. Excuse me, but the word is "centrifugal."

you are true

Facts

or with a big circle.

Very well said

Aaww this comment really hit me

Oof. True story, It was 2012 I was in elementary school like 2nd grade and I tried something like this and I hit my lip and my two front teeth and the teachers did nothing about it.

Clearly you didn't run over your own fingers 🤣 I'd be right there beside you fingers and toes, not to mention a bucket for the motion sickness. All joking aside this was a beautiful performance

💕💕Your comment.

And makes it look so effortless. She doesn't even breath hard.

angelica bongiovanni is russian american married to italian guy

omg lmfao 😂😂😂😂

Do you actually care what they think? Do it. They'll only think your crazy if you do it and then give up.

Me too. Let’s buy a duplex.

hahahahaha!

I think they would be too stunned to be judgy

she needs a lot of practice on her arms and legs' muscles so that she doesn't fall down. she is indeed elegant though

natural star wilson She’s as strong as Hercules. 😮

She didn't have any panties on!

@@Super241946 That's cause you're wearing them...

I AM IN AWE.

I agree...it is an unreal performance...thousands of hours of learning and practice. Absolutely incredible!

The biggest artform, is to be able to see that beauty in the every day people around you. Seeing art in an artist is quite easy, I guess.

@@19Marc79 Wow, that comment really made my day :)

@@allesistchemie1643 I am still trying to accomplish that - but with almost no positive results, I must confess...So my comment was quite hypocritical...It was purely theoretical. So please don´t overestimate my words.

@@19Marc79 Your comment was beautiful and made me reflect upon all the good there is in the world. Just yesterday I saw a mute person walking alone. I felt pity for him. Within a few moments, another mute woman joined him. They began to converse in sign language and smile. It was quite touching to see. Art and beauty is everywhere if one looks close enough.

Yes respect is earned it is not a right

Lol that ring is certainly well-engineered

@@jonathanstrauss8194 Yes, I was just thinking that, not only would she need detailed knowledge of the physics of spinning round objects, but to make these moves work the ring would have to be tailored to her own body weight.

Capn BillL they aren’t actually...they’re standardized and it’s up to us as performers to find a good fit and balance...like finding the right instrument. They do come in multiple sizes and you can get them customized but they’re generally standard.

@@KateCarew oh...

NinivehGaia but they are FUN!! And my ability is what she’s got in one toenail, she makes it look easy and that’s the magic...she performs with Cirque and their artists are just the BEST. Seeing perfection like this we tend to forget the lifetime and endless hours, but anyone can enjoy it :)

angelica bongiovanni is russian american married to italian guy

Celeste Rob. beautifully put Celeste and you are so right

not everyone has the money for it unfortunately

Enlightenment era Vienna, Rennaissance in Italy... The genius these environmeants produced... examoles that support your theory...

@@matcha9250 yes because we are forced to support autocrats' wars.

It doesn't always have to be a financial thing listening to classical music at an early age can inspire or just exposure to any art could open doors to some who otherwise may not get in school

As they always do when one follows their passion:)

I agree. I'm watching this and I'm thinking there must be some kind of trick photography then I hear the audience and I realize this is real.

Yeah I think your math works! 😄

I fall in love, every single time I watch this...amazing and beyond

5yo asked what her name is. Of course I answered, Angelica Bingiovanni. 5yo said, 'Let's give her a different name... Angel. Yeah, that's a good name for her, she looks like an angel'

angelica bongiovanni is russian american married to italian guy

What the fuck happened at 2:50? The wheel kept moving and she didn’t how is that even possible?

Thanks for giving the title to the song here. If I searched from what I first thought the song's title was (Something Chosen Me) I would have been set for a wild goose chase just to see who sang this

Man, I KNEW the singer was French!

Would be better sung by Chris Martin

It's not on Spotify unfortunately...

my opinion is that the man's voice wavers a lot, especially in the beginning, and it takes away from the woman's performance as we're supposed to be concentrating on her, not the man's words (which, when i heard a few, were very confusing and i didn't see how they linked together to make any sense in the song, to be perfectly honest.) also, i'd say it would've been just fine with the background music rather than the singing.

The music was beautiful. The singing was amateurish, distracting and well, just bad. I found myself wincing when he'd hit those flat notes. Would have been perfect without the singing.

Lol while his singing was a little rough at the start i think anybody who thinks all of it was bad or thought the song didnt make any sense must not know a lot about music, art, poetry, or anything thats needed to write a song in general. Most music isnt poetic or creative these days so i guess i can't blame them for being ignorant.

Eric Liestoh lol it's like you wanted to sound like an idiot

pokemon - I see we have a liberal arts snob who thinks anyone that doesn't "appreciate" what you appreciate is somehow beneath you...or ignorant as you say. Well, regardless of what you think about opposing opinions, the fact is everybody has their own. And contrary to what you elude to, one does not need a degree to appreciate music, art or poetry. It is subjective. IMO he was off key and his gravelly voice made some of what he was singing incomprehensible. The music and performance was wonderful. The singing was a distraction. You're the idiot to think that everyone must bow to your opinion.

F. M. It brought a tear to my eye it's so beautiful

Me too

F. M. Maybe you are ready for your own beautiful fearless performance in some field (yours) and you weren’t then ... ❤️

@@catherinecruveillier MAYBE .. thank you for your lovely words 🌹🌹.

I'm seeing it in 2020.

My eyes turned all misty.

@Zed On Meds no it is not... just in case: www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/gethelp/lifelinechat.aspx

I felt the same way. She would extent her fingers when the hoop was on the ground. All it took was one late lift of the pinky!

meh, i wouldn't worry. clearly this woman is a professional with YEARS if training and practice

It was obviously a super light hoop, given how it moved. She might get a sprain or bad bruise, but I doubt there was much danger there.

Same 😂 the pellets always get all over the counter cuz I don’t want to scoop it out with my hands

You need to get out a bit more.

Arijit Dhang Angelic to watch and the name of this artist is Angelica :) fits a lot

Me too

Me too! The emotion surprised me.

Me four

I couldn't help in the first few seconds but to admire the tone in her shoulders and arms. Soon enough we see what that came from.

Dooood! Right!! I'm so dizzy from watching it I can barely type! I'm also super curious how many fingers and toes got smashed before before she made it look that easy!

Figure skaters get used to spins. Same here I guess.

In dance, there is a technique called "spotting" where you concentrate on one object/person/point and keep your head looking at it until you physically can't, then whip your head around as quickly as possible. Spotting helps lessen the dizziness! BUT in this piece, I was very impressed because I noticed she wasn't spotting the whole time she was spinning.
