“Take Me to Church” by Hozier, Directed by David LaChapelle is a music video. You’ve heard it here, there, and everywhere. It’s been remixed, turned into dance music, covered, etc… As a “semi-serious” pop song it is fine. It hasn’t reinvented the wheel but it was a fine song until it was overplayed. This, however, is not about Church. This is about Sergei Polunin. Polunin is a dancer – a ballerina, in fact (a male one – I think they’re all ballerinas and he’s not a ballerino or something). Apparently he’s very famous as the “bad boy of ballet.”
Yes, there’s a bad boy in the world of weird looking dancing.
There’s a documentary coming out, about him, which I’ve also included in this post as it is the reason I first saw this video. Many of you have already probably seen this video but, whatever, fuck you, I don’t keep up on things. And, yes, every fiber of my being says I should hate everything about this but I don’t. I love it.
It’s the song “Take Me To Church” by Hozier, with Polunin dancing. It is hypnotizing. I’ve never been to ballet, and probably never will go, but this puts in perspective how awesome the art form can be. The body control, the movement, etc… No, it’ll never get me as excited for dancing as certain scenes in Black Swan did, but it’s a fucking piece of art. So watch it.
Haha, always get a chuckle when guys stuff their tights to look like they have bigger balls and dicks….
