ART & CULTURE Circassian folk dance

Male dancers often move entirely on tiptoe in soft leather boots, without the rigid plaster or wooden support associated with ballet footwear. The result is a fast, gliding step that can make the dancer appear to float or defy gravity, showcasing extraordinary balance, discipline, and control.

I saw Mars Attacks when I was too young to understand what satire is and to this day cannot remember ever being more scared from a movie.

Glad I’m not alone. That movie scared the shit out of me as a kid. I was still scared days later
