The Bloody Mary BTWB performance inspired by the Russian dance - Berezka

[Tresor 1,649]

Above is the Russian dance called "Berezka" 

the effect is achieved through the dancers taking very quick, small footsteps which creates the illusion that they are floating.

Looking back at the Bloody Mary performance at the Born This Way Ball, I think the inspiration is very clear. Even the music at the beginning is similar to Bloody Mary.

Thoughts? It's a pretty genius and effective reference I think

Wow that's so beautiful! I'm glad Gaga takes inspiration from traditional cultures too
