Sukhishvili vs Lord of the Dance

Few days back we went to Georgia’s National Dance Ensemble “Sukhishvili” in Limassol. It was an amazing show. Being a wannabe-professional dancer at my fragile ages of 6 till 12, I can tell you that these guys deserver lots of respect.

From my point of view, they are comparable with Lord of the Dance (I liked Lord of the Dance back in 2001 in Bucharest at Sala Palatului when Flatley was still in the show, however the recent one in 2009 in Larnaca could be better).

I can say somewhere Sukhishvili are even better. The complexity of the moves, the high tempo (along 90% of the show) of around 200 BPMs, the tricks with knives and spade-fights at this tempo, the crazy pirouettes on reversed toes - this is just amazing, speechless…

Here are some nice mixes of their work:

Wish my Moldova had the same thoughtful management towards the great talents in culture (which they seem to throw to garbage ). Why ensemble “Joc” is not getting proper funding having such talents as can be seen below.
