Georgian Dancers Push Their Physical Limits for Tradition

YouTube description:

When dancer David Chanishvili is on stage, he believes that he can fly. Indeed, he appears to glide through the air with ease while performing for the traditional Sukhishvili Georgian National Ballet in Tbilisi, Georgia. But don’t let his strength and grace fool you: to become a part of this dance troop requires rigorous training, athleticism and skill.

Now, the 100+ member ensemble travels the world bringing Georgian dance front and center stage.
