  • A long time ago, when the Celts were ruled by the Roman Empire, there lived a mighty warrior, who revolted by leading the Celtic people into historic battles. This is the story of a warrior who was fierce, a warrior who was powerful, and a warrior who was relentless.
    Her name is Boudicca.

    What an incredible, beautiful figure she has. These dancers are physically fit, much like the elite pro boxers of today. Maybe even more so. The tremendous amount of grueling, hard work that these dancers must put in, has got to stagger the mind.
    Meagan Urbanek, congratulations on all of your success!

      Aren't they amazing. I think there have been a few boxers who also took up dancing as part of their workout regimen. Vasili Lomachenko was one, and let me look up the other. Harry Garside was an Olympic boxer and a professional ballet dancer!

      @seymourscagnetti1413 5 місяців тому +2

      ​@@Hollylivengood I did not know that about "Loma". Thanks for sharing! Now that you mentioned it, if you look closely at his fight videos, it does appear as if he is "dancing in circles" around his opponents. One moment he is standing in front of them and in a split second he is behind them and throwing punches from a completely diferrent angle. His opponents must be mystified. There is a great UA-cam video about Mike Tyson, it's titled : "Mike Tyson | Crazy Drills That Became KOs PART 2 -Technique Breakdown". And yes, ballet dancers are indeed some of the best conditioned athletes there are. Cheers!

    Imagine the virtually endless amount of human energy, ingenuity and passion that had to unfold so we can watch this perfomance online all over the world: Musical instruments, cameras and computers had to be invented, built and distributed. The internet had to be conceptualised. The globe had to be enveloped by cables and sattelites. The dancer had to devote hundreds of hours to practicing her performance. Chemists, engineers and tailors had to work together just to come up with stretch leggings for her to wear. And finally, dozens of people had to work together to organise that event. And this is just a very short summary.
    Anything is possible when we work together, friends!

    The real story of Boudicca is so much better. She grew up running around a farm she caught a kings eye and married him. She was known to be helpful and kind. But when her husband dies and wills half his kingdom to Emperor of Rome. A local political flunky decided, well if he's going to give away half his kingdom it wouldn't be a big deal to give him the other half. So he goes out a to tell Boudicca and her to leave if they don't want trouble. They didn't leave so the flunky sent Roman soldiers out to SA the mother and her two daughters. Rage filled her heart and she felt badly for her daughters. She started talking to her neighbors and she got about 3,000 to follow her. But they were farmers and couldn't leave until their crops were in. Fortuitously the entire legion left the area to go up north to the Hadrian wall and that's what helped her Campaign. She had nothing to lose so she fought like a girl and ran a whole bunch of Roman's out into the Thames in ships. She wanted to go on, but the time the farmers had ended. She took her daughters home and then heard the legions were coming back. She and her girls removed themselves beyond the Romans reach. The political flunky that started it all. He fell on his sword

      They found a load of beheaded bodies and heads in London when they were putting in the Queen Elizabeth line for the London underground which were from her rampage across London, so it’s quite possible she could of done some of them her self. Her name is pronounced like Boo-Dicc-er not boo-dike-er lol. She fell in battle in the end. She was Queen of the Icene tribe and was defeated in the end by the famed Roman General Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, Boudicca army strength was 230,000 strong and the Romans 10,000 strong and the army of Boudicca lost together with casualties 80,000 people and Paulinus 400 soldiers. The Roman historian Cassius Dio did like to embellish Roman victories, so I highly doubt her army was anywhere near 230,000 strong.

    It's not easy to make tap dancing exciting, but you did. Thank you!

      First, you need to watch more tap dancing. Second, this was Irish folk dancing which is not the same thing.

      Irish hard shoe is the ancestor of tap, not the same thing at ALL.
