Can we please just respect Misty? No one ever said Misty was the one who made the title to this video.. I am a dancer and yes, these stretches are the standard of all dancers, it is not standard to an average person. Even the slightest lunge is hard to do for most people. Let Misty breathe golly!
I literally don’t see anything disrespecting her, regardless that’s on them for taking this video out of context as a normal person can still easily do all these stretches, just not as deeply
To the outside world, any ballerina is flexible. Besides, Misty started dancing during her teens which is quite impressive considering how far she went. She might no be as noticable as Zakharova or any other east-european ballet star but her extensions, développés are quite high. She's obviously not stretching to her maximum capacities in this video. Just a non-dancer's opinion.
Looking from an ordinary person's point of view or from a non-dancer, some might say that it's *superhuman* and some may not. Very subjective. From a dancer's point of view, from *my* point of view, her extensions are high enough. Quite high if you wanna put it that way.
I agree with you. We also have to remember how harsh Russian ballet teachers are, how many injuries and pain Russian ballerinas go through because of their system, on top of the pain that all ballerinas get. Russian way of teaching ballet is very harsh and not very safe, if you campers it with the UK, or US or Australia etc.@@EAY2211
Although I agree, she does not have superhuman ballerina flexibility, she is still almost that much to the average eye. A normal person who doesn't work in careers like ballet, gymnastics, contortion, or figure skating may as well see her having it since they're comparing her to themselves when they can't simply do a split.
Angel Begino why is that ironic? I think you need to look up the definition of ironic. “Coincidental” maybe (but probably not. There are algorithms for these things).
Please! Where is the superhuman flexibility? For a ballet dancer this is the routine...Take a look inside Vaganova academy of russian ballet and then we can talk about extreme flexibility.
i think these are some standard streches for ballet, gymnastics etc. and im not impressed because i am a gymnast. Im not that flexible but alot of my teammates are.
Her flexibility is normal compared to her colleagues at ABT. She has hypermobile joints and hyperextended knees too. To say 'superhuman' would imply that she resembles a contortionist, or that she's more flexible than the average 21st century ballerina. 'Superhuman' in my view would be Alina Somova or Oksana Skorik, and it's not like their extreme flexibility does anything for their dancing. Mass media just wants to sell MC as "superhuman", no matter what.
it's so funny that you think is more the best human... because that's what "super" means. Super = best... So you implicate that this being is best human in the world... I have to disagree... She is JUST a ballerina... she is earning money by her body... I think there are better people than her... for example scientists, doctors, teachers... She is paid just because she is beautifule doll on a stage... that is not a definition of the best human for me...
Do you even know how ballet works?? I cringed so bad reading this. Being a ballerina is such a honor, honestly if u saw a ballerina u should bow to them. Ballet is one of the most hardest careers ever, its requires huge commitment and everything. So I have no idea why you're saying "sHeS jUsT a BaLlErInA". Get your facts straight. You don't even know what ballet is 😒 smh

That split knee bend thing. Beautiful dancer.
Misty is beautiful! But watching made me dizzy! The camera guy circled around so fast.
"...Superhuman Ballerina Flexibility"

Can you do it, envy is a ugly attribute

Bravo j adore

Shes sure of her self and a great dancer.. I f...ing don't care how much more flexible other dancers are..
😍😍😍 misty
Ow ow ow ow ow 😵💫
That front split hurt me watching it.
Ironically, right before this video, a commercial with misty copeland about confidence appeared..

Superhuman? Hardly.😂😆
Where would I even begin with this? lol.
Please! Where is the superhuman flexibility? For a ballet dancer this is the routine...Take a look inside Vaganova academy of russian ballet and then we can talk about extreme flexibility.
Jesus fucking christ JUST ENJOY THE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL BODY I DOUBT SHE NAMED THIS HERSELF
Iaia yeesh someone’s salty
i think these are some standard streches for ballet, gymnastics etc. and im not impressed because i am a gymnast. Im not that flexible but alot of my teammates are.
this is turning me doe lol
We do this in cheer all the time
you want superhuman flexibility? Russian ballerinas will blow your mind
There's a couple girls in my ballet/jazz/tap and pointe classes who can do those.
She's not that flexible, these are pretty easy stretches for dancers
Angel Bee but not all dancers can dance like her.
Phoenix Hunter yeah.. shes pretty incredible
you don't need to be a contortionist in order to be a good dancer. that amount of flexibility is defiantly enough
I do these all the time in yoga
Please look at 0:22 İt is not a strech that all dancers can do
bjk
"Superhuman"? Hahaha? The propaganda machine doesn't know what to do or say to make this woman look like an ultimate ballet star anymore...
???

Why so much hate sweetheart? Just enjoy the beauty of the body. Stop being so hateful its honestly concerning
That's very rude, and frankly racist. Although she is not hyper flexible, and superhuman as the title states she is still flexible to the average eye.
Well... That's flexible but not superhuman lmao. I know plenty of people who are that flexible...
Test
0:13 those armpit hairs tho😂😂
I have seen other videos where her very dark armpit stubble is glaringly obvious and so is the white deodorant on top of it. 😆😬
it's so funny that you think is more the best human... because that's what "super" means. Super = best... So you implicate that this being is best human in the world... I have to disagree...

omg XD
Nobody said she was the best human , the title read superhuman flexibility

Flexible yes. Gracefull.. not really, no...
This isn’t superhuman flexibility. I’m an acro dancer and there are much, much more flexible people out there.
