TUMBLR HARD OR GO HOME: Romanian gymnasts, 2013.
Our dream reality show involves the American and UK national gymnasts training with the Royal Ballet/the Royal Ballet School for several months. Or the Russian gymnasts training at the Bolshoi.
Either that, or an hour a week of Ethan Stiefel dancing/training/making coffee/hanging with Gillian Murphy/doing serious and important artistically director-ish things. Topless.
From Nadia to Nastia: We’d love to know - who are everyone’s favourite gymnastics legends?
Tiny dancer: Lilia Podkopayeva.
Her technique may not be perfect, but she remains the only gymnast who had both the sylphic elegance and the stones to attempt fouettés on carpet.
