Watch Marina Mazepa’s Death-Defying Contortionist Dance Routine That’ll Have You in Awe of Her Art
This classically trained dancer may come from a background in ballet, but her ability to perform as a contortionist is what sets her apart. Marina Mazepa wows the judges, putting Simon Cowell in a rather awkward spot which doesn’t diminish his enjoyment of her art one bit.
Marina set out to surprise the judges and certainly reaped the reaction she was looking for, especially if you consider the look on their faces toward the end. Watch this contortionist dancer put forward one of the strongest acts of its kind in ‘AGT’ history.
From the moment that Marina started her performance atop a pole, it was clear that this was going to be something very different. Every part of her act was thoughtfully integrated, while the moves themselves left everyone on the edge of their seat thanks to the danger-factor.
As the performance was reaching its peak, Marina’s graceful dance led her to the judges’ table where she got up close with Simon before retreating as the track hit its break, contorting and flipping back to the stage to end her surreal show.
I don’t know the definition of art, but I know art when I see it, and that really was art,” said guest judge Jay Leno. Julianne Hough felt the same, saying “you have to be creative and innovative and the original and you’re all of those things and more.,”
“Well, you’re terrifying Marina but in a kind of a brilliant way” said Simon with pride, later continuing “this is very cool, very current, and this is going to be the hardest I’ve ever had to make to decide the seven acts who are going to go through because you have to be a contender.”
