Russian ballet dancer Sergei Polunin performs a stunning visual interpretation of Hoziers Take Me To Church, and its chillingly beautiful.
In a sunlit white room, the 25-year-old former British Royal Ballet principal dancer took over the floor like a man possessed in a series of pirouettes, sauts and tombs creating a somewhat dark and spiritual theme with Hoziers bluesy hit as the milieu.
Performing in n**e tights and a cluster of tattoos, the four-minute video showcases Polunins raw and expressive skills, which perfectly parallels the songs gripping catharsis.
Polunin trained at a gymnastics academy from the age of four to eight, before moving onto the Kyiv State Choreographic Institute and joining the British Royal Ballet School at 13.
Notoriously tricky to work with and known as the bad boy of ballet, Polunin is currently a principal dancer with Moscows Stanislavsky Music Theatre and Russias Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre.
The atmospheric video was directed by David LaChapelle with choreography by Jade Hale-Christofi.
